It forced me to focus alot of attention on other teams, and I lost the sense of being immersed in the team I was actually interested in controlling. I did it because I felt it was necessary. So when they announced there was no editing in CCM, I was concerned and somewhat relieved at the same time. I figured, as long as the cpu ai manages its team properly, and plays a decent game of football I'm fine with that. Now I can devout all my time to my team. That didn't work out so well. So no, I didn't need more features - I just needed what was implemented to work properly. Especially if you're going to take away features. They should be building about the prior years version with more and more features each year. Not constantly taking out and reimplementing them.

Most other years you would be correct, but this year they decided to rip out all the modes and start fresh. They bit off a little more than they could chew with trying to perfect this new CCM mode and have the infinity engine all at the same time. They didn't remove the features you like, they just did poor time management and planning and wasn't able to get them in before the game had to go live.

They should have just release IE and saved the new CCM for next year, but they promised the community for a franchise upgrade for 2013. It didn't turn out to be a complete upgrade but once they get back all the features the previous modes had, it will be amazing.

You need to stop thinking about yourself and start looking at the big picture and how it's gonna turn out. No one forced you to get the game this year and all of the features that were left out were stated a good amount of months before the release. This year took a little side step from 12 and for some a back step, but give it time to grow and you will be thanking the Tiburon later once they finally perfect Madden football on this next gen console...

...and then have to move on to the newer consoles, but that's a whole nother story all together. I don't foresee the first few years on the newer consoles being that great.

O believe me there are gonna be people in here slamming this fantasy land thing that pulled for it right after they download it.

This is okay news for online players who want fantasy draft, but I really preferred editing players over this plus I want to play offline but since offline seems to be in worse shape than online ccm I have to play online which sucks since if you get kicked offline for any reason you lose the game stats...congrats to the online players and tough luck for the offline gamers because we don't benefit from this what so ever. I'm not sure I'll see this game last much longer in my home.

Ya I agree try and get the higher trade in value and just pick up three months later if things are fixed that's what I might do. To many good games coming to care about the average ones and waste my time.

Anyone with any guesses when the Fantasy Draft update and the CCM roster will drop for 360?

Middle of the night? Worth staying up a few hours for?

its easy to see there will never be fully satisfied customers, try to make one person happy, you anger another. the fact is that there are more online than offline players nowadays and so they cater to the majority because thats only fair. also, you shouldn't feel left out that its only online fantasy draft for now because as has been said many many times already, there are far more restrictions to patching offline ccm's so there was nothing ea could have done. in the end ea and josh looman deserve props (to many ignorant people for this to happen) for putting in the time, effort, and taking of criticizing and continuing to help US as customers to reach a level of high satisfaction with the game. Props are due to ea (atleast so far) for M13!

I wouldn't stay up. It's probably a morning rush hour update. Go to bed tonight dreaming of getting your favorite QB/HB/WR combination that you've been waiting for.

Cam Newton, LeSean McCoy and Mike Wallace???

If only...
