Madden NFL 13 CCM Will Not Allow You to Play Other Games on the Schedule, Only Yours

[JerseySuave4]

I have no problem with EA getting an exclusive deal with the NFL. That's smart business for them. What i do have a problem with though is them getting that exclusive deal and putting out subpar games and removing control from the users and basically giving us a big middle finger because they know you either have to buy it or you aren't playing an NFL game. Well i've been able to avoid buying it but it's frustrating that i can't buy an NFL football game because the only game out there requires me to play it 1 way, with their rosters.

In a time where games are giving users more control than ever, they decide to remove all user control. It's not like they just took away the ability to play as more than 1 team. They took that away AND the ability to use edited rosters or edit equipment AND the ability to play other teams games.

I see some people who say things in reference to people editing rosters and giving everyone 99s or playing other team's games so they can control who wins. The amount of people who use that ability for those things is the minority compared to those who just want to make rosters the way they like or give someone certain equipment or play other team's games simply because they want to play with other teams for variety. Point is, it doesn't matter if the user wants to make everyone a 99 or control who wins and loses. That is how they want to play the game.

Forcing people to play 1 way is ridiculous.

Totally agree! Never said anything about not complaining (I do my fair share!)
I'm simply saying don't give out the $ on a product you wont be happy with. Doesn't make sense to me to do that.

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.

Never ONCE said you were a fanboy O.o?? Its not as easy for some as it is for you...ppl need their NFL fix, EA knows this, they prey on that...like lil evil demons imo...thats why when i feel when ppl say "dnt like it, dnt buy it" while u may be right in a technical since...but on a human/moral level its wrong and its kinda like spitting in those ppls faces...

but i understand how thats how to world works...which is prolly why its the disaster it is now..smh

My Heart Just Sunk hearing this horrible news about equipment not being edited and now we cannot control more then one team or even play other games on schedule.

I will walk into Game Stop in the morning and cancel my pre order.

As much as I love Madden all my life this cannot be acceptable for those that love SIM football

Has absolutely no bearing on whether EA should be blamed or not.

Good business decision or not, it has held back NFL Licensed football gaming for about 7 years. EA and the NFL are absolutely to blame for that.

Ok.. Just seemed like it with the people like you and EA comment..
No harm no foul
Trust me.. Passing on a release day FB game isnt easy. I do play the game as I'll grab used. If it is what I thought it was I simpy return it. No lost $.

What's morally wrong about a consumer having to walk away from a product they don't like..?

I'm missing something here as usual.

None of what you said changes the fact that it is a good business move by EA. We may not like it because EA seemed to just relax and not push as hard to make great games and settled for average games knowing they were still going to make tons of money simply because they have the Madden name and the Shield behind it.
