Get back on track, please.

I know that the reason they took some of these features out of the game (Editing rosters, imported draft classes, fantasy draft, etc) is because they didn't have enough time to tune and make these work correctly in CC mode. A lot of people may be discouraged about them leaving it out of the game, but you have to understand that Madden is released every single year, they can't just delay the game for months and months to make sure everything is perfect. At this point, I think they decided that if they can't get it right, they're just not gonna put it in the game this year.

For the last two years they've been working almost exclusively on making CC work perfectly to reflect a realistic franchise/SS simulation using the actual NFL rosters that they put out. You have to ask yourself, would you rather have franchise and superstar work great in CC without those extra features that are more on the fantasy side rather than sim; or would you rather have all of those features in the game, but neither those nor the regular options work nearly as good because they had to spread themselves too thin?

Me personally, I don't have any issues with the rosters EA puts out and never edit them anyways so it's not a big deal for me. No fantasy draft is kind of a bummer, but it's not like there aren't ways around it either. I would much rather have them focus their time on getting CC's as close to perfect as they can with regular rosters before they start trying to do too much. All will be well as long as they get it right for me.

quick question,

Since you can't PLAY any other league games on the schedule other than the team you're controlling, can you atleast SPECTATE (watch) the other league games?

Here is my issue with this. They have been working on CC for 2 or more years. The time they were working on the Franchise Improvements for 2012 is inside that time frame. They were working on the Franchise improvements for 2012 at the same time they were working on CC, knowing they would be throwing it away with CC. As far as trying to take the game forward, what a waste of resources. Why would you put resources into enhancing something that you know you are throwing away? Wouldn't those resources have been put to better use by enhancing the game in areas that CC would not have replaced?

Why is this game not so much farther along than what it is? I just SMH at this stuff.

Heres what i dont understand about the whole editing issue in CC

When you create a superstar (not sure if this has been confirmed that you can do this with existing players also) but when you create a SS..the edit screen comes up and you can edit your player how u like before you start your CC....

so what is all this talk that editing/coding couldnt be added into CC!? It already is to some degree!!! That whole excuse they and a couple ppl on here are giving us regarding that makes absolutely no sense...why cant we have a option with ALL players before we start our CC like we do with a created SS regarding equipment/# editing...you cant say its not implemented in CC system...because IT IS!!!!...

Like in the webcast, they show the older players with the longer sleeves and etc...welllllll players like Peyton Manning and Tony Romo still wear them and in videos i seen at E3 they dont have them...soo if Donny Moore doesnt give them their realistic equipment...what happens then??...since these are included in the game now...i would like to represent MY career/franchise as realistic as possible...but how can i when i dnt even have that option...and i have to depend on ONE guy to get this right...who has shown the inability to do this in the past...

Some of this absolutely makes no damn sense...period

yea I know that, when DOES their license end anyways?...I still bare hope that theres a 2k14 or SUMTHIN to light a match under EA's butts. I just hate this yoyo effect with them. they improve the game only to regress again.

License ends March 2013, so EA will make another game with the current license and probably several more when they re-up.

oops, sorry went off topic, back on topic.
