Yeah , in previous years I've found the best updates to start a franchise with are the last one before the cuts and the very last one as these needed less CAPs now I'm gonna be cursing every UDFA that makes a roster

That's true, no one has played the full game yet so no one knows how good or bad CC mode will turn out. However nearly every complaint I've read is about missing features and you don't need to play the game to know these features won't be there.

It will be pretty much the same people, having the same discussion all over again. Someone will mention how one player they saw drafted looked funny and people will swarm on it like bees.

how do u define a big number i would say 30-40 Percent is big i think u are looking at 100'000 loss in sales plus once non OS Members get there hands on madden and see all of the losses u can add another 300'000 to 500'000 in trade ins to my 100'000 loss in sales the Q is is losing 500'000 loyal people worth it

Since we cannot use edited rosters, can we at least get the normal sleeves looking normal. It looks like they have a nightgown on.

According to VGChartz, Madden 12 has sold 5.06 million units. 500,000 only accounts for less than 10%, so your numbers are already flawed. However, the biggest issue with your post is that you're attempting to assume an unknown variable.

It's impossible to know how many people this will effect as well as how many units will not be sold or will be traded in.

No on knows how it will affect sales, but if I didn't follow the game like all of us here do, and I bought it without knowing about the missing features, I would be ticked off when I got madden home. I could see another class action suit coming EA's way because of their decision to remove so much. Maybe not, but in this day and age, ya never know. We all have to wait and see. My guess is that the devs will stick to their guns until high noon, and then scramble.
