You might be joking but that might be the case, so EA won't even let us control when we stop playing as you must leave your game console on and connected to the net or risk forfeiting you whole "connected career" it's not a mode, it's a life sentence

Even if you don't want to play other team's games, some people would like to have control over what the other teams do. For instance, what if the cpu decides that Kurt Warner should come out of retirement and take over as some team's starting QB?

While that may seem ludicrous, there was a screenshot of this same scenario recently posted for Madden 13.

As someone that played only their own game, I do have friends that played/made moves outside of their one team. It sucks it's gone, but I see their point of view that if they want to build this deep, feature rich CCM, some things didn't work correctly and they're not going to include it until its right. I'd prefer they not input something that's broken and we complain (EA's signature move). I do want to ask, whats going to happen that if they hear the complaints, patch the support in and then in the patch it doesn't work. Then what? They really won't want to listen to us then. Just my two cents.

What if you have sons, brothers, roommates all living under one roof that want to play an OFFLINE franchise together? What are those people suppose to do? Secondly, if I pay $60 for a game and I want to make my team all 99 OVR players and the CPU all 30 OVR players who's business is it? Why am I going to pay $60 and not be able to play the software the way that I want. What control am I getting for my money. That is the bigger picture here.

On top of that, all this comes 1 year after Josh Looman talked about how users should be able to edit, and customize their franchise experience as they see fit? In one dev cycle he has done a complete 180.

i dont know if this has been said didnt feel like reading all the comments. I personally didnt like controlling but I liked watching the Sunday Night and Monday Night games if my team was not participating in them. Plus after about 3yrs franchise gets boring to me so I would watch the 2 teams that made the Super Bowl thats is how Madden entertained me, So I that this years Madden will keep my attention past 3 or 4yrs of CC. So I understand why people are frustrated about this "feature" not being in the game.

multi team control is probably something that will be in next year with as massive a game mode some things had to be left out

Finally, someone else who is realistic about the situation.

You can't expect a realistic reaction. Either the sky is falling, or the ground is crumbling beneath us. Either way, while I'm beyond myself that editing players is removed, I'm honestly just happy they did something to what was one of the single worst "dynasty/franchise" modes in all of sports game. It underwent so few changes from 06-12 its about time.
