Man I can't believe EA has pushed me out the door like this, this year.....

Sadly Yes

We've had and loved some of these features for Years.....and a few more that we fought long and hard for.....They would have enabled me to truly love the additions they made

Now they're just throwing them aside like a chewing gum wrapper

And I think Ive just reached a point where Im tired of the utter Bull SH** with them always dividing the community and making segments pay a price every other year

Other Sports Franchises don't constantly do this with their Fanbases.... don't let anyone tell you different....This is not a Sports Genre Problem....IT IS A MADDEN PROBLEM

Moving Forward....Why should anyone believe these features will be quickly added back in????

From all the tweets,PodCasts, and insights from GameChangers whose talked about their Design Decisions.......IMO it seems like there will be more Restrictions on these features getting back into the game then ever

Book of Connected Careers Restrictions

I think we're going to get an endless barrage of

"We didn't have time for it this year"
"Well we'd like to do that in the future but"
"Look at what else we did"

year...after...year...after...year

And if I have the wrong impression then Looman or whoever needs to come forward an tell us different.....Like how they apologized for the audio last year and told us it was going to be a major priority for them

Stop laughing it off and blocking people on your twitter account who are concerned with these omissions

And as for 13 I pray whats in there works better then any other Sports Game Franchise Mode Ive ever seen and that your typical EA shenanigans of Bugs aren't running rampart...Lets just say I have my doubts

Otherwise the guys who can still enjoy the game are going to get mad too, making everybody feel screwed

Definitely not

I guess I'm one of the oddballs, I'm not dissapointed in the least, as a strictly offline player, I'm actually encouraged that this means that they will pay more attention to the AI logic, gameplay and ratings so that mass editing is not needed. I understand the dissapointment and more options are better than not enough but if the gameplay is great and rating actually mean something, it will somewhat justify why they did what they did. I'm sure it will return next year, it's Madden after all.

Then all hell broke loose because it was different than what you were use to. Statements like this We have complained for years the game has remained the same. This year they made some big changes, granted some stuff was loss but they really tried to innovate a new feature is how it comes off to me. I don't understand the complaints of OH NO ITS NOT THE SAME GAME! I am also the same person that has talked mad **** about EA football for years. I know several of the regulars around here will know this, but don't think I am some blind EA supporter. I just appreciate them trying some new things! Not saying I agree with the loss of every feature but I can live with the loss for a year or so for them to be reimplemented if the game plays better from here on forward!

Sorry you feel that way. Personally I think removing editing features completely out of the game was a very poor move by EA. I can easily see why so many are upset here. Just because you do not care about editing much(and you have made that point over, and over, and over) doesn't mean some people can't feel it ruined the game and complain. After all, what other NFL game are they going to buy?

Just take a trip over to the editing thread. Other then like 3-5 of the same people posting (over and over defending this decision), most everyone else is at least pretty let down by this. A few didn't really care, but they at least admitted they felt bad for the others and understood how it could be a big deal for some, because they to had features important to them that have been removed over the years. The idea of I don't like so everyone stop complaining is what I consider rude and not considerate.


For the record, nobody knows if the new rtp is going to be a improvement. Nobody knows if CCM will in fact be better then franchise. What we know is EA says it will be and that a lot of features that we fought for here on OS the past few years have now been removed. How does one not feel a little cheated here? What exactly is there to defend? You like rtp, and tweets, we get it and that is great. Now how about a little understanding to the people who like editing, creating rosters, adjusting abilities for realistic play, changes numbers, creating rookies, etc......

Sorry, I'm trying to look at it from both sides, but I really do have to agree with the 75-85% of the people here who are upset at EA's decision on this. It is their right to be upset, and if they are expected to just accept it, think again. Not even the way America was built to be!

I'll be posting on this issue until it is restored, period. Don't like it? Just hit the ignore post button on me. I'm cool with that.

In a way, yes. The biggest thing, for me, is the arogance about the changes that have been made. Saying that "franchise is dead" and that change is good.

All the negative response from fans is just being thrown to the side and they are telling us that change is good no matter what. With EA past history of broken modes and bugs, CC better be the best mode of all sports games.

I just don't see how you can introduce something as promising as RTP and then just damper all the excitement about it with all these features being taken out.

Madden 13 was a first day buy for me last week, but now Im gonna hold off and see the reviews first. Crazy how much things can change in just a weeks time. smh

None of these have anything to do with what was lost. They would be there regardless of the long list of things lost.
