Sucks but no, I will be buying this day 1, I love NFL too much and the additions are too positive in my case (since I rarely edit)

Turned off slightly, but am still happy about what is in.

Re: Sound Off: Has the 'Closed' Nature of Connected Careers Turned You Away?

I would say it has cooled my enthusiasm, I was willing to live with editing players and then bringing them into CCM- that option being removed as well has definitely made me more apprehensive about my expectations. If you package that with everything else you "CAN'T" do now I can definitely see how fans are getting upset.

On the other side of that I am still excited about the positive things they've done with the added immersion and the new progression system and dynamic scouting. I'm willing to wait until I get some hands on time to see if the pro's outweigh the con's.

Re: Sound Off: Has the 'closed' nature of Connected Careers turned you away?

I feel like a franchise takes on its own identity (separate from real life) as soon as you start it, and so the lack of editing and not being able to use a pre-edited roster in CC doesn't really bother me. What does bother me is not being able to watch other games - I always felt like that added to the immersion, like I was watching another team's games on TV or something.

Still excited about what CC does have though, and of course Infinity. That said, it did bring me down to a "maybe" from a sure thing. But that's why I have Season Ticket - to give myself a solid answer on purchasing it or not. I just didn't expect to have to use it to decide on Madden. I'm still keeping an open mind on it until I play it for myself.

Also, I think people get fired up about this not because they love Madden as much as they feel shafted by not having another option, such as NFL 2K.

Yep, though no imported draft classes from NCAA was more of a turn off than no editing/not being able to play other games. For me it's all about importing my NCAA Draft classes and drafting my Pitt players to the Steelers and trying to develop them. That being said, I'm very strongly leaning toward just sticking to Madden 12 and continuing my franchise there with my NCAA 12 draft classes.

If what they have works, I will still be very happy. Lack if editing rosters our playing as other teams other than your, really won't stop me from buying.
