I would totally do that! lol ... As long as those coaches aren't retiring from the game when I make those switches. You'd probably crash the game by Week 3 or 4 if you tried to play EVERY game on the schedule.

I don't have a full understanding of CC yet, so please forgive me if this is a stupid question or comment.

From what I am reading, if we want to basically play what USED to be offline franchise, we play CC as a head coach.

How does this impact player progression for my team and other teams?

I used to really like that we could NOT control player progression and don't like the idea of earning XP to boost player stats without some automatic player progression.

I liked the randomness of the progression based on performance, age, time played, etc...

90% of the reason I played the game was to see how players I drafted would progress.

You can still assign the computer to progression.

Thank you for that information, that is good news on my enjoyment front anyway.

It is still too bad that they removed other options that a lot of other people enjoy.

I am actually looking at making this my first "new" Madden purchase on this generation console. I have only bought 2 others and waited a year for the price drop. I have been getting NCAA each year, though.

So is there now no regular franchise? If no then yes CC has turned me off. I just can't believe people are willing to except no franchise mode from madden but would not take that from other football titles.

I want to immerse all of the legends back into the league on the teams they originally played for where applicable. And then I'd like the ability to play with any of these teams whenever I wanted and just enjoy the experience and thrill of getting to use these legends once again. The addition of legendary players in M13 just seems like a major tease more than anything else. Give us our freaking options and customization back!

YES! YES! YES! YES!
