What I am gaining makes up for what I am losing by a LARGE margin!!!
Your also losing:

No Co-op franchise (This hurts me greatly)
No Import Draft Classes
No Fantasy Draft

This issue is that these are simple things they didn't really have to take out, or as some of you say, "leave out". Like I said, other games don't often take out features as much just to add stuff in as frequently as EA does with Madden.

Good breakdown - it's hard to disagree with the comparison. Who knows, maybe they will be able to patch highlights so we can at least view the play of the game or something. I know it's a stretch - but if the game isn't alpha yet, there might be a chance.

In fact, sorry if this is the wrong place to ask, but can I or someone else work and create a thread describing the current issues with Madden? some of the posts on these threads are making me feel like it.

You need to add a few to your losing list: No NCAA import. No multi-team franchise. etc.

Nope none of that affects me. Going to be one of the best years for Madden for me. Plenty of things I am really excited about, most of which is Franchise CC related.....and.....of course the gameplay improvements!!

I barely have time in my schedule to get through couple seasons playing as ONE team. I would never make it through 1 season if I played the other teams games also. I am like Dale, I see the complaints but don't understand how those would equal a NO BUY with all the other great inclusions.

It started off sounding great, but it's starting to turn me off with the lack of user options and control.

I do look at the fact that EA is constantly criticise for not making any real changes to their games, only minor tweaks each year. So I'll give it a chance since they really have made some big changes and have taken some risk.

Hopefully it pays off and the things that were left out will only be a minor annoyance for this year.

Nope don't do those either. Granted I never owned NCAA and Madden in the same year so NCAA import does not affect me and Multi-team franchise is what "two" users in same house running a Franchise??? If so then no that does not affect me either, unless my Fiancee got frisky and wanted to play
