Just wanted to make that clear.

I'm in my 50s been buying madden since it came out on sega and to me its aBIG thing

In the grand scheme of everything involved in a franchise-esque mode though, it really is a "little thing". Obviously it's a different level of priority for everyone but when you're building a new franchise mode from the ground up I think he was absolutely correct when he said they had things that were much higher priority.

I think you underestimate ' the masses' as you call them whose voice isn't heard on here, my guess is like all consumers they want a quality product and are just as frustated with Madden as we are hence the falling sales figures over this gen.
I'd also guess that some would and some wouldn't care about these things the same as the people on here

Not only that...but out of all my friends who play madden....at least 30 people..... I am the only one who starts a franchise and plays the game that way. All of the rest of them just play single games. People dont have interest or time to edit rosters. Unless you are a 15 year old kid...no one does. People have families and jobs. I think you overestimate the impact of this.

I'm 51 and resent your insinuation and if you want to see the noise over this go visit loomans twitter timeline or other sites and forums

If you were to poll EVERY single person who played madden ( impossible I know but play along) 95% would take editing just to have the option.

In all my years of playing madden I never adjust player ratings. But I do want this feature in. For example. Last year the bills (my fav team) ran a 3-4 defense. I hate the 3-4 defense. So I rearranged the depth chart to reflect the 4-3 defense I was running using my custom playbook (also taken out) and instead of just moving the players to the spot I wanted them to play I change their position to reflect at positions I needed them to play. Now I can't do any of that and it will be very frustrating. I hope they get this Ina patch or something ... Come on Ea

Yes position changes at least those that were allowed in the early PS2 games like OLB 2 DE,DBs,OL,DL etc are a must

@SA1NT yes everyone wants options. poll those same people and ask if they would want editing in exchange for rtp or many other improvements that would take similar resources to editing to implement, i would bet you would see similar results for editing being left out
