The mode is still functional w/o it. But to many people, not having it would be VERY UPSETTING. No multi-player in offline doesn't break the mode, but to many people, not having it is VERY UPSETTING. Same with no NCAA draft classes and no full editing. Things that have already been in the game. People have a right to be upset about this. We all should be upset about the continual redirection and foundation laying that gets ripped out the next year.

The excuses for this should stop. By now we should have a fully functional, full featured, customizable product. It's not. And this is what people are upset about. Man, it took all this time for ONLINE to even come close to what they should have had A LONG TIME AGO. Good for the online guys for finally getting what they deserve.

Actually no and it's sad.

There were a lot and still are some sport games that doesn't have regression let alone progression...

UFC 3 is a most recent one.

This is called moving the goal posts, you didn't answer what you quoted and instead ducked it.

No XP or similar system to replace it would make the mode nearly pointless, it would be called connected seasons, rather than a career. FAR more important than anything from a previous game that was omitted.

Got it....He said editing wasn't a core feature when I do believe it actually is right?

@bucky you can't have a game mode that is supposed to simulate multiple years of a sport without progression/regression.

[moneal2001]

@DNMHIII he said core features make the game/mode work. you can run a franchise on madden 12 without using it at all. but you cant without using the off season features.
