Sound Off: Has the 'Closed' Nature of Connected Careers Turned You Away?

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. you are right it is a user issue for custom playbooks. but ea can at least fix some of the problems with it, like the audible money play issue. i believe they have other issues like the entire playbook disappearing while online, that would have a major effect on online users. they want those worked out before bringing them back. i guess im still trying to wrap my head around what needs so much testing and debunking about these features.

my comments are in bold

Madden 13 went from a must buy and a Madden I was looking forward to more-so than any in recent memory - to waiting for next year or a patch.

There is no reason to deny editing. It is our game, let us do what we want with it.

This is what hurts so bad! I was soo pumped when I heard about all of the additions, then when I heard about all the missing features it was like someone kicked me off a two story high ladder.

Yeah I was feeling the same way and bragging about it to all of my friends until that bomb got dropped on me with all the original features not making it to the game..

Yeah. It's crazy that you can't even player against your own brother in a franchise under the same roof. Went from "The Madden" to just Sad-again13. Total disregard for friends and family EA. What really makes this game that much different from 2k5? Updated graphics, a physics engine that you hope works well, and a couple twitter feeds = $60.00.

Yes it has and I do not like what I am seeing. I am a Franchise gamer when it comes to my sports titles meaning thats where virtually all of my time and money goes into while playing. Not being able to take the rosters I (or someone else) edited into the mode that I bought the game for in the first place is a major deal breaker for me. I hope Madden fixes this or otherwise I am not purchasing a Madden title ever again.

I feel the same way way, but change is a part of life. IF it is a better game. YOU (and I) WILL buy and play it.

Seriously? Where are all these emotional responses coming from? Most people thought last years franchise mode was trash and now people are this upset because it changed, And no one has even played or even seen it in operation.
