It absolutely turned me off completely for the simple fact my career modes that I play in other sports games, including EA's other football title are about immersion AND customization. The fact that my entire customization options, and I do mean ENTIRE CUSTOMIZATION OPTIONS have been ommited from career modes the game holds absolutely no interest for me.

Hasn't turned me away one bit. I'm an offline franchiser and this is looking to be my most played Madden yet. Losing the ability to make my own rosters is probably my biggest disappointment but as soon as I start my franchise reality goes out the window anyway so it's not that devastating.

Can't change a generated rookie's facemask/visor to look cooler and more intimidating? Can't upgrade your favorite player's ratings or other teams surprise players on your own? That's all OK...THEY FOUND THE TIME TO ADD TEBOWING INTO THE GAME, but couldn't find time to KEEP (not add) features that have been a staple of the game for a decade.

I don't edit rosters bc I could care less about that stuff and don't have the time. I don't notice things like player equipment or get upset when a player is rated 87 rather than 89.

I don't play other games except my own because I only care about my team, plus I plan on being in an online franchise. Offline modes are a thing of the past IMO. I have't played against the "CPU" in any sports game in years.

Draft classes is a disappointment but again I don't use this feature.

What I am extremely excited about is spending XP and the fact that practice actually means something in franchise mode for the first time in a long time. yes, I'm talkin bout practice. I haven't bought madden since madden 08. For me, this is finally the year.
And that is why EA and Josh have geared the game towards customers like you. That dont care about anything but playing as a team and enjoying fantasy unrealistic rosters.

Hard Core fans want to be able to play SIM and have the ability to run the league based on the money they spend.

So be happy that EA is aiming for the casual fan.

what there's no importing of draft classes? WTH?!?!? So dropping a feature that has been a staple for 10 years gets dropped because they want everything connected??? SO dumb. EA made this game unbuyable after actually making it playable. 1 step forward 16 steps back

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

It's very disappointing to me so much that I've decided to skip all the EA football games this year and I've never done that.

I know some posters just don't get the disappointment but the fact that EA hits the reset button on Franchise and effectively killing it at the end of this gen after not having a franchise mode worth crap or even comparable to PS2/XBOX days is very frustrating.

Then to take out and leave out basic features in the mode is a further insult. CC might end up being fully realized and more customization friendly in a couple of yrs but I CAN NOT after 6 yrs on this current Gen reward EA this YR for once again starting something over again.

What makes a guy that keeps rosters accurate week by week and changes everything any more "hardcore" than someone who plays 30 consecutive seasons?
