You can do this just make sure you don't make any mistakes because you can not reload lol

There are plenty of people on this forum who love fantasy draft. No need to insult them.

Lol @ fantasy drafts. I knew it would be some useless feature that casual fans would enjoy. I hope they enjoy having players with the same jersey numbers. SMH

So this means if you get disconnected from EA servers with say 2:00 minutes left in the game you can finish the game, but it won't save and you lose everything you just did. So no online isn't that great especially by yourself.

Other than opening weekend this has never ever happened to me or anyone I play with

How is this "spoiling the casual fan"?

Fantasy draft is the huge announcement? Well, trading this in toward NBA 2K13. For all the things they could have added to CCM, it's a fantasy draft.

Good riddance to this game.

Who's to say they won't patch it on for offline on the next update?

Fingers crossed as I love my fantasy drafts.

again, i'll say i know looman doesn't hate the online crowd but based on the changes they've already made to the online ccm it intrigues me that maybe this is the way to go if they can update and add features so "easily". (yeah i know easily is a relative term

)

Though i will be playing in the dark all by myself with the door locked and blinds closed so no one can see me or walk in on me in my leauge

At this point I think it's safe to say EA's focus is looking at online gaming rather than the offline sim community.

I think a lot of people let the opening week scare them away from solo online ccm. The drops have been addressed. It was a new release issue

# 32 Davis30788 @ 09/13/12 08:58 PM

Any idea when this goes live tomorrow?

# 33 Brandwin @ 09/13/12 08:59 PM

Eh, not huge to me but I know a lot of people were wanting this in.

I'll probably use it down the line to keep CCM fresh.

I had it happen to me recently but it wasn't often I think the bigger consideration should be for those who don't have live or have isp issues.

How are they "punishing" the offline player? You can still play Madden offline. Or you could buy a PS3 and play Madden online for free.

There are perks to paying for XBOX Live when you own a 360. Stuff like this is one of those perks.

Exactly...All it takes is losing one or two games due to server crash to really put a damper on the whole "Immersion" factor.

We all get it, they want us playing online, they are the one bragging about online league numbers. 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.

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

# 39 leo2k2ndc @ 09/13/12 09:06 PM

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

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.
