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

[da ThRONe]

Not that I wanted most of the things removed. I personally like realism and focusing on one team without having to tamper with other teams for a realistic feel. If Madden 13 can offer me that I'm not overly disappointed with the things we are losing. Still can't understand why they thought it was a good idea to make such drastic changes so sudden.

Well, if it is important to you, then yes. There are many things that are meaningless in the whole scheme of things that people get excited about. Sports is number one. I dont see anyone blowing a gasket. Just expressing their opinion over this highly dubious path EA is taking with the only NFL game to be had.

Or you can join one of the wonderful OS Madden leagues and wash your problems away

Because that is EA they try to make a big media splash in May/June and hype game. They don't care if they take out feature that's fans like.

And in my opinion that is what makes games like MLB The Show such a treasure. You ask you receive and get to keep all the other features you have grown to love. Those developers love to communicate and make gamers happy and exited to play their games for more than a month or season.

It seems the past few years with Madden they just build a game to get them to the next year.

I also see Russell on here asking how to make game better and what fans want improved upon.

I never thought I would be one of those posters that actually would say this but this news is just too restricting for me to make Madden 13 a worthwhile purchase and I think that EA made a HUGE DESIGN MISTAKE in not allowing for Create Players, Teams, Roster Edits and PLAY ANY MATCH features from their FRANCHISE MODE. I think its a HUGE mistake and I am now going on record that MADDEN 13 is a NO BUY for me this year.

I know many of you wont care and that is fine, but at the same time I think EA needs to hear it at least from one single loyal customer. Its a shame too because the week earlier had me on a real high with the news of this new physics based engine to finally perhaps make gameplay feel more dynamic and less repetitious game in and game out.

But the fact that I can no longer enjoy playing a Franchise Mode in the Commissioner/Gode Mode that I like to play by creating a team and a few players and inserting them into the league to set up some really exciting What If scenarios along with the inability to play out each different Monday Night Matchup and all the Post Season games simply removes all the appeal of game for me.

Am I angry?...At first, extremely, but now that anger has simply changed to extreme disappointment. I think this will actually be the first year in over 12 seasons that I skip this game and that is going to be tough.

I really cant understand how EA simply couldnt have left Franchise Mode completely alone for those of us players that dont care at all about connecting our careers and multiplayer and created this Connected Career Mode as a completely seperate Menu Feature....(because God only knows how they actually love over saturating their Main Menus with tons of different modes anyways)

This would have actually been the one time when it would have made sense to break them out into 2 different Modes and they would have been able to appeal to BOTH audiences rather than completely alienating one group.

If you have bought the past 12 years of Madden, including the total Farce that was Madden 06, I'm pretty sure you will still being buying this version Lis.
