Like I said I thought the idea was BS, but I have been keeping an eye on it. In addition to random posters, I have seen guys like Emdotfrisk, Shopmaster and ShaunLMason posting their idea on there. Again, though I was skeptical and thought they were giving the sight validity, but it seems like this it the way that EA is going to be taking and using our feedback going forward we need to embrace this for better or worse. Because people are gonna be pissed if an idea that is not "sim" gets added because it got the most votes.... That said, there needs to be some policing over there too, because I just went to the recent and there are 1,300 idea across all EA sports games and you view them 10 at a time, so there is the chance that good ones get buried. Just to reiterate my point and the point that Casey made, if this is one of the ways that EA is soliciting feedback, then OS should be very active on that site with for example LBz "speeding up the DE animations and disengage animations" idea. Which is a really good one. And if this site/idea falls through we can say we tried and were attempting to be a part of the solution not the problem

Absolutely agree. You guys have a path now you KNOW will be seen at EA, you have a huge user base and you are organized...you should be driving the things you want up the leaderboard. It's a bit clunky to use, but it's a tool you didn't have two weeks ago.

I need further clarification that this is no longer possible as im still in disbelief of this subtraction. If this is definitely not possible, what's the closing thing to it? lil help?

Madden 12, Madden 13 will not let you do anything like this is any mode this year.

She is only gonna look at those who make the effort in my opinion. Yeah the FIFA community just found out about it today it seems. One post had 500+ votes in an hour, I thought it was a spam account. We have like 23,000 votes in a little more than 2 weeks since it went public. Credit Justin Dewiel for getting this set up. All of us are posting ideas there. http://www.easports.com/gamechangers/ideas Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk 2

The problem is that no one is going to see the links to the game changers sites or polls. It's not a sticky here (there is one at the EA general discussion), and only mentioned twice in 60 pager of comments here. I personally can't vote at the site since I've received a lifetime ban from EA. If the link to game changers was in the first post, it might get more attention, but buried in this thread, no one will know.

No, I mean just what I said..."67% of OS gamers." Methinks you inferred something that was not said.

Though many of you may not like this and though it might not have been the smartest thing to do to leave out this feature it's perfectly natural. I'ts actually the same with FIFA, I believe. You can only play your own games. And it makes perfect sense. Example: I'm a Broncos fan, so I decide to create myself and coach the Broncos. I make it to the Super Bowl, and in the NFC championship it's Green Bay Packers vs. the awful Cardinals who somehow made it to the NFC Championship. So I decide to turn down the difficulty and torch the Packers with John Skelton in the NFC Championship because it gives me an easier Super Bowl. Yeah, that's right. The coach of the Denver Broncos called the plays in the NFC CHAMPIONSHIP! Say what? I know that many of you wouldn't do that, and simply likes to play exciting matchups such as Steelers-Ravens or Saints-Panthers. But honestly... Where's the fun in determining other games outcome than your own? If you ask me, it's neither fun nor logical which is why I find it natural to leave it out. I'm having a harder time understanding why we can't edit players to our liking. Not that I've ever been using that feature but still. Anyway, that's my five cents. You probably don't care, but now you know :P

I don't play that way, and in fact, most of these changes won't affect me (I only play my games).

That said, who cares how people play their games offline? As long as they can't to it online, shouldn't they be able to play the game how they want to?

But that's just me.

Long story short, I was outspoken about Madden next gen. I was a big proponent for gameplay changes for realism. I went to the EA forums in 07 or 08 to voice my concerns and offer input. I received a few warnings, and one ban that was overturned quickly (the customer service manager said he saw much worse on the forums and couldn't tell why I had been banned. That ban lasted 1 day), they got tired of me posting on their forums and called me one of the biggest trolls on their forums (forum admin sent that one out of the blue and I had done nothing that could be considered as such). Finally they banned me for posting a reply to a "cheesing thread" ... "do you think this is cheesing". I responded with who gives a rats *** when there is so much more important things to worry about. Ban hammer dropped and even though EA isn't supposed to ban live accounts, if your gamertag is associated with any EA game and their online content, both accounts become banned. The last time I called EA support I was told that the ban was a lifetime ban and would not receive any further review.

If anyone thinks I deserved it, here's my post history from EA's forums
