Considering it's a lot of back and forth with the same points by the same people, along with a lot of random topics being corralled into about 5, I don't think the size of the thread means anything.

After I gave him the down low, he was almost in tears. But he is also the type that will go out and buy the game day one, and then permanently give it to me the next day (it's been this way since madden 10) good for me, bad for him. I would go so far as to say that he epitomizes the average Madden purchaser. Could we see record numbers of returns in Madden 13's first week of release? Possibly, or those same people that don't know about the missing features will simply not care or are so accustomed to things being removed that they deal with it and vow not to purchase next year. Yeah, my nephew always says he's gonna wait till the first patch, but he never does.

As I said...if you are a young guy with a lot of time on your hands...then this is probably a big issue for you. If you are an older guy such as myself, with a wife, a family, and a house to take care of (as are all of the people I know who play this game) then its a very small issue. Just wanted to make that clear.

I'm a grandfather, have a wife and 21, 19, 13 year old children. Part of why this is a huge issue with me is the way it alters the way my family has played madden for as long as I remember. Your statement is insulting, and broadly generic. There's only one other person here at OS that I think is older than me (j/k) and he's 50, and he has also commented in favor of the return of these "very small" missing features.

BTW, my nephew I used as an example is 27 year old.

WTF?..........lol

I think you're attempting to make editing out to be some type of huge time consuming thing in your mind and thats a total joke. Maybe someone invests two hours into editing before they start a franchise and then an hour or so before every season to edit rookies.

Editing doesn't have anything to do with how old you are or how much time you have on your hands and it has everything to do with how invested you want to be with your own experience with the game.

I'm the same age, but I've never used these feature as long as I've been playing Madden. I do support those that do though, because if something was left out for me with the game for the game I play, I'd be upset too, but not sure for how long.

It's hard to walk away from the only crack dealer in town.

I'm in my 50's, I edit rosters, I won't buy Madden without editing capabilities, and I didn't find his statement to be either insulting or generic. It's probably very close to the reality, c'mon now. It's a kid's occupation, let's face it.
