I remember a few years ago when MLB: The Show announced that they would let you control all 32 teams and all aspects of the game. They would even let you control who got injured and how long they were injured for. Here was the top baseball game in Video Games knowing what the people want. Some could argue MLB the Show is THE video game when it comes to sports.

NBA 2K realized what the people wanted. They gave you the power to control your NBA World however you wanted. They realized fans wanted the power to create their own NBA drafts and it was given. Here was the top basketball game in Video games knowing what the people want. Some could argue NBA 2K is THE video game when it comes to sports.

Now some of you can post and say these modes aren’t important or that you just don’t understand. You can say that you’re angry but in the end you’ll just live with it. The above mentioned franchises knew what was important and knew what the future of their games needed to have and I don’t think that can be stressed enough.

So here you have Madden who possibly beat both those games to the punch when it comes to franchise mode. You could finally edit players during the season; you could for the longest time already control all 32 teams. They didn’t let you edit your own NFL drafts but they at least had the NCAA Import feature which was not great but good enough for most. They had the chance, the opportunity to become the top sports game again, a sports game the NBA and MLB the Show probably tried to be like in some aspects, or at least once upon a time. Madden ’13 was going to be THE game once again, but it was going to be a lot of hard work. I feel like Madden put a lot of work into this game but at what cost? The cost obviously is a deleted franchise mode. Features that fans have known for years are gone and new features that were in Madden 12 are now lost as well. Also how much work did they really put in? Is a “Connected Careers” mode really a lot of hard work because it’s a new feature? Or was in the easy way out because Madden gave up the hard work that was needed to fix two features that were already there?

This isn’t a rant or a post full of anger, it’s a realization. Madden ’13 is the year of “Connected Careers” and I honestly hope everything works out perfect and that this mode is a huge success with no major flaws because if there is, there will only be a patch to fix it (if even possible), not the users of Operation Sports.
Good post I don't question the amount of work they put in CC but I do question the Direction/Design.

There's other games to play as well. If M13 is really the several steps backwards that many people claim it to be, then it shouldn't be too hard to pop M12 in and have all the options you want right there.

If you owned EA, wouldn't you do the same?
Good business decision. I'm not happy either about it but simply can't fault EA.

Hopefully NCAA and Madden get to the poin where everyone is happy. I hope.

So unlike what you implied, I'm not an EA fanboy etc.. Check my post history. I just dont spend $ on products I know wont satisify me.

But go ahead and buy a game you know you wont like if that's what you want to do.
I went like 6 years until buying Madden last year. I agree that consumers should not reward company's if the consumer isn't satisfied. But that consumer has every right to be upset and complain when that is the only product of it's kind. It's the "stop complaining, just don't buy" that I LOL at. The "don't buy" I agree with.

I think people wouldn't be as upset if these features weren't available before. (yes, the majority of people believe these are features...not just "options" and EA will probably reintroduce them as features in the future) You take something away from people and they are going to be upset no matter what.

In Head Coach 09, you don't have any of these options and it's a VERY fun game to play. People were not upset that you couldn't play other games, or edit players, (I guess you could edit rosters before hand and bring them in I believe), but anyways...the option was never there before. So people weren't upset about it.

I think CCM will still be a very fun mode. If you have bought Madden in the past with its bare bones, uninspired, lacking in features, and riddled with bugs franchise mode. I don't see why you would stop playing Madden now.

Josh Looman's arogance is really starting to annoy me. Who is he to tell us what is good as far as change? What a freakin joke.

And what does that have to do with many consumers being upset at the direction EA is taking Madden, and having no other options for that type of NFL game? What's your point? And what does it have to do with the discussion? People have every right to be disappointed and upset and every right to voice it, whether they pop M12 in or not. Really, where are you going with this?
