Madden NFL 13 CCM Will Not Allow You to Play Other Games on the Schedule, Only Yours

It was part of your point. You used incorrect information to help solidify your point.

Regarding your greater point, you assume that everyone plays like you. I dont find the way you play franchise entertaining at ALL. Just as dumbfounded as you are that someone would play with multiple teams, I find it equally confusing that someone would want to pay 60 dollars to play with one team.

When I buy Madden, I buy access to a video game version of the NFL. I find it silly to limit myself to one team at all times or to be forced to restart a franchise every time I want to control a different team. With that said, I dont have a problem if you decide to play with 1 team....so I have no understanding of why anyone would have a problem with me controlling 32 teams offline.

I dont play 32 team franchises or other teams games to make it so my favorite team wins. I play it because sometimes I want to play with the Patriots and other days I want to play with the Broncos. I think this variety is also why I rarely burn out on games like most people do at OS.

This is why I just wish they had a "Career Mode", a "Franchise Mode", and a "Season Mode".

Career Mode would be CC, Franchise Mode which is what he had (and should have previous features added back like the "Extra Point" or Articles), and Season Mode would allow you to play as any team, all teams, or many teams, any game, at any time in the season.

Wow, you guys are hard to argue with. You - again - miss my point.

My point is not that everyone should play like me or that you should absolutely be limited to play with one team. Not at all. That's what you make it out to be.

My point is - regardless of whether one thinks it's right or wrong to leave out the option of playing every game - that I can understand why EA has come to the decision. Simply because you choose a team to coach. And then you coach that team. Not every other team.

Now, I'm not saying you shouldn't be able to coach all 32 teams in a connected career. And I have no problem with anyone wanting to play with all 32 teams. I'm just saying, that from a realistic perspective it makes sense, that you can't control whichever team you like at any given time.

However - as I stated in a previous post - I'm all for options and I am all for letting the users getting everything they want out of a $60 game.

I think that's it for me in this discussion. If you don't follow me on this one, I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree.

And may you have a very pleasant evening

Im not missing your point.

I'm disagreeing with you in saying it makes sense. To me it makes no sense.

But that's why they shouldn't fused everything. They should have just made CC replace Superstar, Keep Franchise, and maybe add a season and everybody would be happy.

There has never really been a concrete philosophy for franchise mode in Madden.

Are you playing as a coach? Then why are you controlling players?

Are you a GM? Then why can you set the depth chart?

Are you the owner of the team? Then why are you doing anything other than raising ticket prices?

It's as if they crammed a bunch of philosophies in one mode.

For me, I don't play franchise mode as a coach. I play franchise as if it's a God mode. A mode where I can follow the 32 teams as if it's a real football season.

That is why it's imperative that I can play any game at any time. Because I don't play with a specific team. I just play all of the fun match-ups on the schedule and try to build each team as best I can.

So while I understand the posters who treat franchise mode as a coaching career, that's just not the way I enjoy playing sports games.

I'm 10 years deep in a NBA2k Association. I control all of the teams. I flip coins in the playoffs to decide which team I will use for each game. It really immerses me in the action, so much that I get caught up in the fun of the entire league. I get to play with all of the stars. All of the emerging stars. My favorite team are the Orlando Magic, yet they haven't won a title in my Association. I don't cheat to help them win.

Following the entire league is what I want out of my Madden franchise too. If I cant use franchise mode as a God mode, then the Connected Career thing is virtually useless for me. I don't want to just use one team, because that's not how I have fun.

Also, the 'realistic' argument holds little weight, IMO. How realistic is it for a coach to be unable to watch games from around the league?

As far as cheating, can't a user just keep simulating scores until they got the one they wanted? And even so, why does it matter for an offline franchise?

I don't see where the idea came from the offline CC is restricted for the sake of "realism". That's negated by the simple fact that you create yourself to use in the game. If they wanted realism, how about getting all of the penalties in the game, line interaction, remove mirrored animations, there are so many other things that can bring realism, locking you into a restricted play mode in a sports title is one of the worst ideas to get this accomplished in my opinion.

Well considering it is EA sponsored... And EA managed... And EA tracked, you.can guarantee that they are looking for ideas and thoughts there first. That's why fantasy drafts are the top votes right now. Sitting back and criticizing and arguing amongst each other doesnt accomplish anything. Make the effort to make them listen. Take some initiative of it is that important to you.
