Madden NFL 13 Roster Editing Issue Rears Its Ugly Head

Of course, then the argument becomes whether or not sales make up what percentage or will or won't make a difference.

It's the only new option available. There's a big difference between not having any other option and not having any new options. If there's something older that you feel doesn't limit your options, you have the option to play it. There are other options, whether you want to believe it or not.

It's not like Madden got the exclusive license and then confiscated and destroyed every football game ever made.

I have chose to just play Madden 10 & 12 another year. I have a feeling a lot of others will too. The point of this thread is it was a terrible choice for EA to remove editing. It will cost them sales. I have bought Madden 01-12, and won't buy madden 13 until possibly thanksgiving sale ($29 usually). If not then, I will wait until 14 and hope they fix those terrible running animations, ice skating, and missing features.

RTP means very little when the game was so unpolished in the first place. It wasn't ready for another tech layer slapped on top of it IMO.

Still a bad example, it's more like you live in a Neighborhood that had everything you wanted, when there was this up and coming threat of development in that area. You were ok with the changes of the "Home owner's association" because they still gave you options and there were still other options.

There is no longer a threat of you moving, so now the "Home owner's association" has decided to make changes, and take away any of your options even the ability to paint your house, change the font of your curb side address, custom mailbox, and even what type of shades and curtains you have. You just got all of that last year and all of the sudden they lock you down...

You want to leave but you've been in this (house of yours) for 20 years minus vacation time....I'm gonna leave it there even though I could go deeper but it's not necessary to show your example needs further adjusting or a broader aspect from which to make a point of view.

On a larger scale:
Earth is = to Madden
only one place to live, only one place to play

Live and let live.

I fixed it for you. And I believe the answer is NO, there aren't any. Your house analogy is still awful.

So where does that put me when I play Tecmo Super Bowl? Mars? The Moon?

Same place it puts me when I break out XOR Football. Nostalgic.

Yes, that I don't understand. After hearing the editing options had been removed this year, it took me all of 10 seconds to come to terms with the fact I'd be playing Madden 12 if I want a football fix in September. This hand-wringing has been going on for days, some people really need to let this go, holy mackerel.

Honestly? People shouldn't even have to try and come up with house analogies at this point. What's truly awful is that people are still ragging on and on about this issue. Think about it.
