NCAA is the only one I download user created rosters. Now I understand why people are upset and I think Saint makes a really valid point........"If Donny can make edits, why not us". Logically speaking I see zero difference and zero reason it should not be in the game for us. This issue just does not affect me

I can see that with ratings, but throughout a franchise have you never needed to change a number, change someones position, or edit their equipment?

But if you can prove that they took out the features to just take them out than I will resign, but I highly doubt they took them out to make people angry. They are probably trying to move the game forward which has been severely lacking in the past. So if some features don't make it this year in the process so be it as long as in the long run they are making game better I can deal with a year like this where some features are left out to make sure they are implemented correctly with no glitches. Because I can bet that if it came out with a glitch there would be non stop complaining, but if they leave it out knowing there are glitches good on them for not pushing a bad feature to appease the masses.

Huh? If I dont complain, how will EA know im unhappy about the removal of a feature?

I'm gonna give myself a pat on the back right now....A few years ago NBA2k did not have 30 team control. Only had 8 team. I hated that. So what did I do? I posted a complaint thread about it in the 2k forum. One of the devs saw it, discovered why it was an issue, said they would add it and the next version of the game had 30 team control.

Thats the one of the points of this forum. It gives people the opportunity to express their opinion about ways to improve the game or mistakes a developer made.

Again, I'm using confirmed facts and you are using assumptions. You are assuming they removed the features to make the game better. You are assuming that the they will eventually add these features back. You are assuming that these features will cause a glitch if added back in.

Nope, I don't really care to be honest about who wears what numbers or equipment.

I'm still really trying to understand what's so innovative about CCM since its been done to a point in sports games before with actually more flexibility than CCM now.

I think " innovation" is really a poor choice of words. NEW is much more of a description. And nothing more than that.

Very well said Birdman, I'm sure there is a legit reason they removed it. And people can just go back to Madden 12. And to be honest I have found Donny Moore's edits to be better than anyone's on this site. I'm sure edits will be back for 14.

Yeah but I don't want them just to do that and call it a wrap for the next 3-4 years because they don't want to do any work making Custom Ratings/Position Changes Function with CC features that people may or may not care about

Ratings are so subjective.....Everybody and their Grandma has a take on who can do what and how well......

Being able to edit Ratings too is huge for me....Hell look at all the Real NFL guys who love to debate and brag about those.....you don't think they use that feature if they feel they get snubbed.....Of course EA isn't Marketing the game for them either....but it shows how important ratings are to people and having the ability to not be locked into one guys critique is a much needed form of control

Not to sound disrespectful and you certainly have every right to post here, but why are you even in this thread? Lol! Why go to a thread discussing a specific problem and say "This doesn't bother me?"

Please explain how removing all editing + more was a good idea for them. Simply because you don't use the Editing players feature?

I've said twice now that it's terrible they removed editing. I won't buy the game because of it. I'm saying the devs obviously believe the % of people who care about editing is so insignificant that it's not going to affect their bottomline. Plus EA pulls this nonsense all the time, and I'm neither nor surprised nor upset about it. This is what I've come to expect with EA. I'll play FIFA instead.
