There are only a few trusted people I would play with, and most of them are only on the PS3, or don't really play online either. For example, RGiles has been an offline franchise mode guy too. Every time I see him logged into XBL, he is playing Madden 11 or 12 offline franchise mode over the last two years. I have played LBzrule twice ever, both were tight OT victories. I played Taz and Big FN Deal a few times each, and a few of you other guys... and that's about it. the rest of my online madden time is against randoms or the fun [but casual] OTP mode. I play shooters online all the time, or at least I used to. I have a lot of hours logged into CoD4, MW2, Battlefield Bad Compay 2 & Battlefield 3, and Halo 2 & 3. Shooting games a whole different beast to me. Anything goes. It's chaos. It's war. Set up a defensive position and hold it! Take the flag! Blow up the MCOM! Revive your buddy, throw ammo, repair the tank, disarm the MCOM, knife that guy, blow a hole in that wall, and don't forget to spot! In Madden I am trying to play a realistic NFL experience... but default online ranked/unranked matches don't have custom sliders, so ratings don't mean much and the AI is terrible. Offline franchise lets me play with custom settings that help make the game more playable. It gets to the point that I just can't care about online Madden. By the way, why can we play OTP, but no OTP CCM? THAT would be fun. I would love to have some OTP CCM.

bingo, this is all I wanted from CCM -- co-op franchise. I was excited to hear it is in NHL13 and EA was talking about how all of their sports franchises were being standardized to work the same way...so I was reeeeeeeally hoping that Madden13 had it.

bummer to find out we can play as players, but not on the same team. I really hope they can add this feature to next year, that is a total game changer to me. I know several people that do not purchase madden, but would buy it in a heartbeat if we could do a franchise together on the field..through the playoffs, draft, etc. that would be a blast..

How? But even then, why couldn't they add it back?

If you play as a superstar in CC can you be injured and miss some games during the season?

They have already stated several times that it is a time constraint issue. The features that they HAD to get in where much more crucial to the experience.

Experience? You wanna talk about experience? experience?

I havent had a great experience with Madden since the PS2 days.So I wouldnt call it an experience. Maybe something along the lines of an experiment?
THese features are in every MAJOR sports title on the market except Madden?
And you think its going to be an experience?

THis is like taking maps from FPS's. Or abilities away in RPG's .
And you want to call it an experience?

Sorry Ive just been upset with all these excuses from EA and community peeps .Its just these things is what made us play Madden in dorms or having a Madden Party on release with a 5-10 player co-op Owners Mode in the same place!!! And Madden just keeps taking it away???
SInce this Generation we the gamers have complained about EA catching up to that game from 05 and this is what they do? They take away co-op on one console?? For years Me and my brother have had a co-op on release day Franchise Mode.That Tradition ends this year because of EA'S EXPERIENCE!!

So THank you EA for your experiment.

Ive seen a video online, and Peppers had a 90, Rodgers had like a 86, and if Brady really has a 90 then there finally fixing there ratings, maybe now we will see some starters with 60 ovrs to make the difference between great and average players mean something, bc lately they havent

The whole reason they have moved to connected careers is to re-create that madden party effect again. I remember having friends around and we would just play for ages. However we have all gotten jobs, moved houses and it's no longer feasible to go around to someones house and play for 15 hours. Therefore connected careers let's people re-create that experience by being able to play an online franchise/superstar together.

On top of that, kids these days aren't having massive madden party's around houses, they're all over the internet instead. So the developers of Madden have obviously seen this and tailored a game to suit the needs of the market. Instead of living in the past, people need to accept that fact that change is inevitable.

I'd bet that if Madden had just kept updating features on the old platform people would complain in 5 years time that they couldn't play online.

Eh dont speak for everyone me and 6 of my friends are all 23 to 26 years old
and we spend ages over each others houses drinking and playing madden for "ages". People who have played couch co op for years are the people really losing out. Its kinda like a big f u to them. I cant get
into online playing and smack talking some one sitting next to you is just more
fun for me.

On the other hand my brothers who are 15 and 12 always have a 32 man online league with all of their buddies..i guess its an age thing and
"older" madden players like myself are getting left behind
