Do we like it of course not, their is a difference between saying what needs to be added (not that they on the whole dont already know) and focusing on just the things missing. If nothing was being changed and we lost features i would rage but when we are effectively getting a much better and bigger game mode its getting to a moot point.

For example you can now do trades, chart etc at maddencarrers.com away from home. You could split the tasks between 2+ people

or if you have two gold accounts on the console play in the same franchise with 2 teams.

So much better immersion.
I'm pretty sure my immersion 'bubble' is going to 'burst' every time I go into the game and see something wrong/missing and can't do a thing about it anymore.
Those little things are like gnat bites one or two are ok but if there's thousands ithey will drive me nuts

I'm not certain how many people have 2 live gold accounts on the same console, but your forgetting that the second account will also need the EA online pass (additional $10 charge). However you spin it, you will need to spend additional monies if your going to do a co-op franchise offline whereas before it wasn't necessary. Also, how is taking away things the user can do more immersive?

I can't understand the mindset of these Madden developers.They act like CC is the greatest gift in the world. I want to know who sat around that boardroom table and actually thought it would be a good idea to take out player editing, custom rosters, NCAA import so that they could introduce a half-baked new CC mode that no one asked for anyway?

I get they wanted to "improve dynasty mode". But fake tweetsis the way they do that? They have precedent formulas they can look back upon for inspiration. How about half-time highlights of the game being played and others? How about post-game interviews? How about a weekly wrap-up show with video highlights of games?

Can someone explain to me how two gold accounts on one console will work with CCM? If I'm understanding this right if two gold accounts are on one console then they can both control their own team/player from the same CCM on the same console. Will playing on the same team/couch co-op be possible? And if not will it be possible to play H2H from the same console when your teams meet up in CCM?

Each gamertag will have it's own separate CC. The only way to play the CC against each other in a franchise would be online where (on the xbox 360) each will need it's own online pass code. You can not play a h2h franchise on one console. The first gamertag would have to sign out in order for the next to play their CC. I don't know if you can play a CC game with 2 players on the same team, but I am certain you cannot create more than one player/coach per CC.

Thanks for the response. The bold part is what I was worried about. If there's no way to play any of the games against each other it's not worth the extra money IMO.
