Most online guys I know don't hold anything like that against offline guys. For the most part online guys have a "we" mentality as it stands for everyone... The entire community.

How did your offline franchise cost you an extra $150? This sounds like an interesting story.

what about editing equipment needs testing and debugging?

online CC allows the ability to play with 32 other users, so why cant offline CC play with 32 other users? it is supposed to be 1:1 mirror right?

i believe that custom playbooks is more of a user vs user issue then an EA issue and i personally dont think removing it solve anything. imo cheesers are like computer hackers, they gonna find a way to do what they do regardless, its in their blood. CC is a career mode, so in online the commish could have options to turn the feature off or on and offline who cares, but for multi-user offline CC even they could have the option. if its a quick audible situation ppl are worried about all EA had to do what set preset quick audible for every formation. and in randoms it could be not allowed and everything could be stock.

i guess im still trying to wrap my head around what needs so much testing and debunking about these features.

Part of me thinks this is a money ploy. Instead of two friends playing a franchise together on one game, they want to force you to go out, spend another $60 and play each other online in CC.

Could you not setup two profiles with online passes and join the same franchise?

Of course there's a $10 online pass cost for the 2nd profile and you can't play each other, but it's sort of a work around no?

This assumes that these things will be added back in. I'm a little skeptical.
