SO tired of the PLAYER DEVELOPMENT

[mcavner]

They could spend years tweaking the broken development system (which is one of the reasons I stopped buying this game) to please the varied expectations of the marketplace, or they could simply open up the career and franchise modes to editing and every single time, every single gamer has an issue they can fix it themselves.

Pretty simple fix that the two best sports game (2kNBA and The Show) have always given their customers and Madden is providing this year.

Basically I won't buy games that don't give me that option - that's where I'm at and that's the solution as far as I'm concerned.

Customization and sharing is probably one of the bigger request items, that I hope they add next year. Sliders, rosters, create a players, jerseys, stadiums. Those are all things that can be done well by the fans. I don't expect EA to sit and make sure that the entire Blues roster is 100% correct. It's a tough job to begin with, and they've got tons of leagues. But a system like Eastside Hockey Manager has where you can import your own "skins" and logos into the game would make a world of difference. Then people could focus on whatever they wanted. EA could make some generic "College" type setup with generic players, teams, and conferences and allow the players to edit and "correct" them. Similarly they could add a "Russian League" and allow players to change that if they wanted.

This way, the casual fan doesn't have to worry, but the more hardcore fan can download the proper jerseys and rosters to create leagues that their NHL teams could try to draft/sign free agents from. Imagine being able to convince a player like Radulov to join your team, and having to big against other GM's in the game to get them to sign with you.

Okay, so the game is out now.

I checked the ratings via some youtube video, but the potentials mainly for my team Florida Panthers looked quite bad or something that would not develop, yet again.

So anyone with EA access can you confirm that the player development is bad again?

1. For example last year faceoff ratings didn't develop.

2. Bjugstad and Trocheck never developed.
