Sounds good to me, can't wait. I love MyCareer and it's the role playing part of it that I like the most.

Please tell me you can skip the cutscenes.

Personally, I used to create all kinds of MCs before they made the MyPlayer the only option. I made my kids, previous players, and even just random characters I thought up. I can no do this.

Yea that's true people probably would take advantage of it. Sucks for people like me that want that freedom for legitimate reasons lol

Think about people who enjoy both modes though. I don't want to have to upgrade two players.

I agree with your last sentence there. Anything to cut down on the cheese I can def understand.

I see a lot of similarities between the direction they've taken their MyCareer and the Persona games. That's not a bad decision, it's a great model to follow for a sports RPG.
