This is a great read. Especially for CCM. Lets you know everything you need to know. Whether what team you want to coach or what team you want to play in as a player
What if you decide to be a player instead of a coach? How does your offseason work? Can you be traded? Negotiate your contract? None of that was addressed in the manual.
Yeah, reading the game manual as it is (and if you didn't know anything we've found out here the past few months), it tells you that you can...
EDIT players
USE CUSTOM PLAYBOOKS
SUPERSIM
CREATE players
CREATE/EDIT UNIFORMS - use the base colors of the uniform and then adjust to our liking.
It also says, DOWNLOAD ROSTER - Download the latest roster update, which is "required" in order to play online. ....doesn't say it's required for anything else, which, as you know, confuses those of us in the know of certain things.

I am curious about this as well...

No. Only the base roster or "official" roster updates can be used in CCM. No custom rosters this year.
Please, don't hate me for asking, but who can or have you reconfirmed this after now knowing what the manuals say? I ask because the manuals seriously do not specify that you can't edit offline. It also only specifically says you need updated EA rosters for playing online (like last year basically). I know we've been told no supersim, no custom playbooks...but both of those are listed in the manuals as being in the game. If you could ask an EA person, that'd be much appreciated, as the confusion will likely go rampant here soon...haha.

I haven't reconfirmed it, no, but it was stated numerous times before now; I don't know what would have changed. I know the manual doesn't specify you can't, but when has a manual stated what you can't do? It normally goes over how to control what's there.
I think the best bet (if you need confirmation) would be to ask RynoAid or someone else who has a thread about the retail copy of the game. I wouldn't get your hopes up though.

I am 99.9 percent sure we cannot edit anything in CCM. If we could, it would have been announced. EA saw the disappointment on OS and other gaming message boards, if they somehow snuck it in at the last minute, I'm sure they would have said something.
This is allowing me to decide which team I want to take over and which to team to go to as a player.
I want to go to a team that needs a major turnaround. But, it isnt the same last year. Washington was the perfect team for a turnaround because they had needs at almost every position. This year, the only team that is close to that is CLE and I dont want to coach there. I am still deciding which team I want to take over
