Because offline CCM should be the same as online CCM but it's not, online is far ahead of offline

I think he was referencing the solution some were offering of playing a 1 person CC online to use fantasy draft which currently isn't available offline

LoL.. I saw the announcement and revealing at the same time.. This is disappointing to say the least, I just hope NCAA doesn't do all this 'you have to play online, for better service crap', cause the time between NBA 2K's are soo long it feels

I have a PS3 too, but don't see the point of playing online for no reason

Also, having an online league puts you at the mercy of when they decide to shut the down the servers. Lets just say hypotheically a madden is released full of bugs (I know real stretch) and for what ever reason you want to skip a year or two and just continue your franchise, well if it an online league they can cut it off at the next years release.

I literally haven't played Madden in over a week since it crashed on me. I even went as far as deleting my CC because the server crashed after a played a great game. I hate the feeling of playing a game over I just played and not getting same results. I just hate that. I am even thinking about trading it in now because well it still is basically the same game outside of physics and pass trajectories.

That's not "punishing" you. You honestly think that EA said, "Let's make sure there are a bunch of offline issues so we can really screw over the guys that don't play online"? Give me a break.

I think so as well just gotta wait for that Microsoft patch certification which honestly should be shorter for sports games they have a short shelf life.

Have any of you thought they it may just be online FOR NOW, as they can roll out online updates WITHOUT having to release a patch?

My bet is that Offline CCM Fantasy Draft will be in the next title update
