CC is new its not an addition. Its a reboot. They took franchise out and started over, so they could get it right. some features of franchise didn't make it in because they didn't have time to get them working with the core functionality of the new game mode.

Then they should have added more resources, taken more time, OR not used CC as a replacement, but instead used it as an addition.

And that's the poor decision they are making ANOTHER reboot that takes features away. That's why it should be an addition, not a replacement. You don't replace until you've covered your current functionality. DESIGN 101.

THEN DON'T USE IT AS A REPLACEMENT, USE IT AS AN ADDITION, or don't roll it out yet. I would personally like to see it as an addition so the online guys wouldn't have to wait another year. But you don't use it as a replacement if it's NOT READY. DESIGN 101.

A few threads have been like that for the past week and last week, too. I doubt it will ease up until some people are satisfied with answers from EA.

And it clearly wasn't enough, was it? We are losing significant features AGAIN. Never should happen. But EA/Tib seems to make a habit of it. Should not happen. That's why it should have been an addition, not a replacement, or should not have been rolled out yet. I would prefer addition because it looks great for online leagues.

It wouldn't be if people stop trying to deflect and defend everything

Biggest annoyance here is that people want to tell you wants important because it's important to them, then you have the hyperbole poster (overreaction sports) who claims the sky is falling, then you have more post to tell him how crazy he is.

Lol no team work.

Geeez not everything has to be a debate, let's see some good discussion sometime.

I think that's what a lot of offline franchise feel, that as a relacement for online franchise and SS its a brilliant idea with many appealling features but as it stands it lacks too many key ingredients to replace franchise mode entirely.
