Not that it really makes a difference, but let's not pretend like most people are only concerned about those without internet or XBOX Live. Unless I'm misinformed, players of offline CCM will still be able to use Donny's updated rosters so it's only those without internet or XBOX Live accounts who are effected, correct?

Incorrect anyone who edits rosters uses NCAA imports or fantasy draft is affected

The issue I was discussing was just in regards to editing, and specifically TreFactor's representation of what people have been concerned or complaining about.

Anyone who edits is affected whatever they edit or why so no that statement was incorrect, there is a whole sub-forum here devoted entirely to rosters and editing so it is not just those without inernet connection but it is valid to say they would be worst affected and raise that point as they have no voice here

I think we're discussing different things here. Obviously the no editing thing effects anyone who edits or wishes to edit anything, but that post of mine was merely responding to this "The more pressing issue is that the offline player will be left with the defaut rosters EA ships on the disc." and this "The fact is that the offline player will be left with the inability to update their rosters" rather than the subject of editing as a whole.

Well they are the only ones who can't choose what roster to start a CC so from a roster accuracy point of view they would have the most reason to complain I guess

No it is an online SS mode with the option to play online franchise. Or the other way round if you prefer. How could you possibly say that it more resembles HC09 when you couldn't even control any players during an actual game.

It is silly comparisons like this which is why others are getting confused and think that you can only call plays on CC.

I was in error in not making that clear possibly but its hardly a silly comparison
When with the exception of the method of progression many of the features are clearly brought over from that game so to say it resembles it is something even looman would acknowledge.

No that is a fair enough point. It just annoys me that some people still think that 'Coach Mode' in CC means you can only call the plays, and the comparisons to HC09 don't help stopping that mistaken perception.

Sorry if I appeared rude.
