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

Not being able to play a franchise offline together with friends is a huge disappointment and I think more disheartening than not being able to edit rosters/fantasy draft

Exactly what I am going to do.

I'm not turned off, yet disappointed that the normal options are not available. At the very least, I'd like to see there be an old school season mode with full playability of any team/game & the ability to edit players until CCM is fully operational.

I have. Am I allowed to be disappointed?

I'm actually not disappointed in what is missing versus last year. I don't use multiple teams in franchise mode and I don't usually edit rosters. I also realize the difficulties and the amount of time it takes to fully develop a new engine and write code as I used to work in the video game industry. I am glad that EA is starting to make bigger changes to something that has needed it for a long time. They just need a bit more time to refine things and I definitely think that what is missing this year, will be in the game last year. This same thing happened when they developed the first Madden for the "Next Gen" consoles.

I Haven't given a care about Madden's franchise mode since 2005.

But this new thing sounds cool
