I don't care at all about only controlling one team, but I will miss the edit roster feature.

I already sold my Madden 12, so it's still a buy for me.

Will definitely buy night it comes out. The intrigue of CC has me hooked since I typically play offline controlling only 1 team. The last 2 yrs I've started importing NCAA draft classes only to switch to Madden generated classes due to players importing much different than NCAA counterpart. Clearly has been broken.

Biggest problem to me is not being able to do an offline fantasy draft franchise with my friend. He has a PS3 and I have a 360 so we now have no workaround since we can't use the online mode or each others systems to play co-op.

Editing being taken out sucks, but the only thing I'd edit was Calvin Johnson's name to get rid of the JR. Player numbers won't ruin the game for me.

I've purchased every single Madden game there's ever been. In addition the last 3 years I've also picked up NCAA. This year will be a college football year only for me. I'm sure Madden will play a fine game of football but the single player mode isn't for me.

Not happy about the fact it's one player per console on Connected Careers. For the last few years me, and 2 friends always picked a team each, and played a franchise on my console every weekend. We would usually get about maybe 4-5 done in a year.

I guess that's gone now. I was seriously hyped for 13, but this just feels like a punch in the guts. I just do not understand the reasoning behind it

I'll admit my butt is a little chapped over not being able to change players' positions or have a fantasy draft.

On the other hand, this has the potential to be like Head Coach 09 but with actual gameplay. For anyone who has never played Head Coach 09, this could be awesome.

No buy for me now....not having the ability to play any game from any side's schedule is a complete no brainer and removes the immersion for me.

Got to be able to select any game and play/watch as cpu v cpu.

Definite non purchase for me now....

Hasn't turned me away at all... I think the new career mode sounds awesome, and being able to create my own coach, take over a team, potentially be fired for not doing well, etc, sounds great.

All that said, I get why people are upset that liked to control all 32 teams or make edits, or both.
