OK if you want this line of thinking, then they removed franchise mode by their own words. Is that removed enough for you?

Don't worry I used to watch Pokemon as well and now I get to finally combine Pokemon and the NFL, thanks EA!

Patriots take the field for offense...

Wild Tom Brady Appeared!

Go Terrell Suggs!

Suggs uses Sack... The move did not have any effect.

Suggs Uses Sack... Critical Hit! It's Super Effective! Enemy Tom Brady Fainted... Terrell Suggs Gains 45 EXP. Points!

I think your missing some from the gain list. I have heard of new ratings to help the overall fluctuate, and the salary cap is new for online, which is probably a big reason for a lot of these changes. To help online get on par with offline. But that could also be the reason some of the things lost were also because of the Online aspect. Now I agree it stinks they removed these features, but I also see where there could be problems with this new mode.

Like the playing games that aren't yours, they could be running into problems with how to keep it restricted to the offline because you need to remember these modes are linked into one. And this could also be true for the 32 team control, as when trying to make it compatable with online they could be running into bugs. I truely believe online might be a huge reason with alot of the features being removed, and it stinks and I really hope they are working on finding ways to get them back in.
