Sound Off: Has the 'Closed' Nature of Connected Careers Turned You Away?



It all seemed too good to be true.

Now after this week's bombshells that you cannot edit players in connected careers or play any other games in the mode other than your own, it seems like the Madden team is once again forcing you to play your game their way. To me, this is a huge problem. Others of you? Maybe not so much. But let's hear it: Has the 'closed' nature of Connected Careers turned you away and/or cooled your enthusiasm about Madden NFL 13?

Sound off!

Turned me away and sent me running to NCAA13 in a full on sprint

Not being able to use your edited rosters in connected careers is a real downer, but it is not a deal breaker. Definitely cooled on anticipation however.

Too many other positives to let this completely turn me away.

You put it in the perfect perspective, sir! They're forcing you to play the game their way. Because of that, yes, it has turned me away.

I especially get disheartened by tweets and comments those who work on Madden or within the company and say "trust me, this is a better mode," which I take as "we will tell you what you want," or "I know you're complaining because you care," which I take as "we know we'll get your money regardless, so we're not worried."

I would not say that it has turned me completely off...but being able to edit rosters is a huge issue.

100% turned me away. While the development team continues to preach that it is our game and we have limitless ways to play, the changes that they've made to the game are completely the opposite.

I am even more interested in seeing how this mode works. Yes, they took away a lot of features, but the franchise mode has gotten stale, and they re-worked it to make it fresh. I think it has plenty of very cool potential and is a good starting point. I won' lie, I do not like the import draft class option removed, but that is what it is. I feel like they are going to add some sort of outside of CC editing though.
