Im looking for the same level of recognition and commitment moving forward for the features that were lost

Right now I dont get that kind of feeling from them....Its more of a...

You won't get that. Look I'm pissed more than most about the lack of editing, 32 team franchise and a straightforward ability to play other games. The thing is EA knows we aren't happy and they (especially Looman) has made it clear that they don't consider these features to be important enough to add this year.

The bottom line is we have a workaround for this issue so continuing to gripe about it is useless. Hopefully they will make the change next year but the workaround makes it so that this issue has been minimized.

The game isn't even out yet.

Are you really expecting them to come out in June and say what is a priority for next year?

That doesn't make sense. Even if they came out today and said it would be back in next year it wouldn't make any of us less pissed off about this year.

They should if they care about it enough......Like the audio...they said more or less that they know it hurts us this year but we have big plans/investments for this in the future.

Right now they remain put off by why people think this is a big Deal....and have given no indication that they're going to make time for this in the future.....History with this series has taught us that a

"Some of that stuff may make it back in eventually"

means don't expect that feature to be back for years if ever


If people keep their gripes and disagreements with this direction for CC Mode contained in threads like this one that aren't interfering with the other parts of the boards....I see no reason why people should stop discussing how they're going to deal with these issues in future Maddens...as long as it doesn't get personal

And Yes It would make me feel better if they guaranteed this stuff is coming back with a Vengeance for Madden 14...I think most are happy with the additions they made to CC Mode but are terrified that it cost them their Offline Customization for a long long time..

I can't speak for anyone else but I could take the hit this year and really look forward to 14 if I knew all of this stuff was coming back next year...Id quit worrying about it here in this thread and the others that are dedicated to missing features

This is just an honest question because the only people I've seen say things like this is the gamechangers and I don't put much stock into them as knowing the insights of the game's future.

Im just curious as to if you've seen actual game devs comment officially on that.

I'm not saying it's interfering with the rest of the boards and it's fine to be secluded here.

I'm just saying it's a waste of a post.

EA isn't going to hear something that they haven't already heard. If you guys want to waste time now and vent, have at it. Just keep it respectful.

Sure, it would make us all feel better to hear that.

You are being unrealistic though if you expect to hear something like that in June before the game has even been released.

Time for a change! Not a reply I was looking for. I was hoping I would hear something along the lines of trying to get it back in in the near future. This turned me off a lot more.

It's a new mode from the perspective of one character. @Josh_Looman I understand... and I am excited for the improvements! I just hope a lot of that stuff is on the "to do list" instead of cut

PGaither84 had some tweets with Looman last week

Not to speak for anyone but I think what Kehlis is trying to say, which I have stated myself a while back, is that further constructive criticism at this point is redundant. We all know what will be missing but we don't know exactly how that will effect the CC experience until M13 is released. I am not suggesting that once you or anyone plays CC, they will suddenly love it or these missing things will not matter but that there really isn't anything more about it to critique until the community at large gets their hands on it.

After release, whatever groundswell and pushback there will be, will mostly occur at that point, so I would expect EA/Tiburon to address these issues in more detail at that time.

When did Phil start talking about the audio last year???...and tell us there were upgrades coming to franchise mode the year before that
