The internet can broaden the mind if used for that purpose but it's also full of BS and can easily dumb down an individuals intelligence also. Want to broaden the mind there are Libraries for that, also though something as a game system and a game is expensive true but it's a onetime deal while the internet is essentially a bill thrown on top of you other living expenses so a person may save for something they want like a gaming system and a game later so therefore it can be affordable even if on a low budget while the internet may not be in there best interest if your income is too low to budget it in. Also most games now and days require broadband connections and that is an easy $40 a month. But I see all points of the arguments though

I'm not even trying to say he holds that opinion. I'm just saying in my position, I don't find that to be a mature way to live your life.

If the focus isn't to be a mature adult, then that's fine. But to say video games SHOULD be part of your life when you can't afford something as basic as internet access is pretty weird and sounds like the priorities of a child more than an adult. If you're in a position to acquire and play video games, you're in a position to afford internet access. And most people would certainly choose the internet over video games considering the career and life opportunities the internet can provide.

When I was a kid, I would gladly have shared Aussie's outlook.

Seriously to all the people that are complaining about having Franchise Back?
If you do the Coach Connecting Career its the same as a FRANCHISE, you dont have to progress the players manually... you can have it do it for you by just hitting a button?

No offense but I actually like having to scout players and not know what round they go in. Its part of doing the work and finding the "Steals of the Draft"

Connecting career as a coach is way better than the Franchises of the past. they just need to add Training Camp, Restricted and Unrestricted free agency. And the career mode would be set.

Seriously if its that big of a problem... Go play Madden 12!

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.

Clearly you didn't read my post thoroughly. I stated rather bluntly that I didn't care care if editing was in the game or not as long as the ai was proper. It isn't. I even said I didn't like to do it. How was I supposed to know without playing CCM that the AI was poor?
What is your point that no one forced me to get the game (which I didn't "get", I rented it)? Are you suggesting that I am not allowed to be displeased with a product because I wasn't forced to get it? That's absurd.

You need to quit making assumptions about things you don't know.

Man, this is funny. Here's a timeline:

08-28-12: Electronic Arts Madden National Football League Twenty Twelve Releases to much pent up, strange anger. "They left out [whatever ____ likes]

Over the days, they attempted and did fix some issues for the online crowd. Hell, it's easier to push out server side updates than to just funnel their time into a patch that will take weeks. Things get fixed, things will be fixed for the users living in rural areas and other non-suburban and urban areas. Or users who refuse to start a private CCM. As the days roll by, more anger at what was left out builds and the usual arguments arise.

Defense, "I hate this passing!", "Why I throw picks man!?", "EA SuX!!!" etc.

09-13-12: Electronic Arts Tiburion Studio, developers of Madden National Football League Twenty Twelve tells users that they will be pushing a server side update adding Fantasy Draft. People, seemingly out of the woodwork say they care not about a Fantasy Draft and claims of "They are totes catering to the casual crowd!"

What's new, another day reading Operation Sports. Something that used to be informative has turned into a home for people to just constantly be wishy washy on what they want and insult other people/developers of games/the sun for being too hot/water for being to wet.

This whole thread and its' incessant bitching deserves a "smack my head" moment. They are updating, adding, conning, whatever makes you feel important when talking about EA, things the fans want. Some things, which I figure equipment editing, may be harder to implement. But do, continue yelling at the invisible mean EA in your mind.

And an addendum, offline players, I highly doubt they will not patch fixes into your mode when the actual gameplay patch arrives.

My problem is this: i bought the game 14 days ago, i am an offline CCM player only. What I got was: Broken gamerplay( cpu running game, sliders not working) Broken coach schemes ( west coast off. and spread def. the only options for a created coach) No roster updates( and the one we are getting today, is allready outdated) Is this fair?. I paid full price, you know.

it is not fair, you bought a product that does not let you do what you payed for. i agree with you, it feels like a complete ripoff......i wonder what would happen if we took a law suit towards EA and got everyone that feels the same to sign a partition, you reckon we could win?? we could take a class action suit, just like people did here in australia against bank fees, and they won with ease. im down

This is a nice addition I like and many people love, so that's good news. However, I'm not giving EA an ounce of credit. They just don't deserve it. Recycling or re-adding features is not something to applaud. There is never any attention to detail. It's always a disappointing gift in fancy wrapping paper. When they actually re-add all the features that were there since 2004, Improve the gameplay, work out the bugs, and then add something new and exciting, THEN I will praise them. Right now they just string all their fans along with a poorly made game. Preference is one thing, but every year they do this. They strip the game down and slowly add things back in. It's pretty ridiculous. EA is a business obviously, but when they buy the licensing and corner the market, the fans are stuck with whatever they put out. Other companies don't do this.
