lol, nah, I am not necessarily that knowledgeable about CC, getting all my info from the stuff that's floating around. TSO is doing a bang up job of explaining some things, you might want to check it out.

As far as where you start on the depth chart as a created player, I don't know but I am sure the info is out there somewhere.

Wait...

So if I'm a HB, I can call the plays like I'm a QB?

That's....interesting.

Not really a fan of that, would rather just play my role if I'm a player, or better yet earn the ability to influence play calls the way you earn it in NCAA.

You are going to see people bragging about their stats because they are giving themselve 50+ passes or 40+ rushes a game. Only way that it wwould seem beneficial early is if you are a 3-4 Rush OLB or a CB that likes running Man-to-Man.

If anything I will use GameFlow. I would want to earn play call responsibilities.

you do not start automatically when you pick to play cc as a player. if your player starts rated 4th on the team at your position, thats where you start out on the depth chart.

That's cool but people can still likely put themselves in during games by subbing. Anyway, I don't think it's a biggie because they only control that one player on the field the entire game, so if they choose to focus their offense around one player that they are controlling, so be it. lol

I want to try a single version of Online CCM, but I dont want to risk losing online connection or the servers being down.
I have to see how MaddenCareer.com works out before I make the decision.
