Question for those that play other sports games, because I'm mostly only an NFL guy...

Do other companies who make basketball, hockey, soccer, and baseball games remove features or often announce an inability to get something in a game (or back in a game)? I honestly don't know if this is a Madden thing, or if it's typical of games that get released every year and are on a tighter schedule than say, Call of Duty, where two companies trade off releasing a new game each year, giving them two years to develop the final product.

Lol...

There were work arounds for Online Franchises. They functioned just fine, just incomplete. There are plenty ways out there.

There were work arounds for Gameplay. Sliders sets all around.

There are no work arounds for Offline franchises they want to edit, import, control +1 team, or even watch another game. None.

You guys can be happy you got your online ish in the game. But this perspective of "now you know how we feel"/"told you so" isn't as uniting as you'd think. I personally don't care about online, so I prolly didn't/wouldn't even comment. Please do the same, as I don't see the purpose otherwise.

I don't understand why some people seem to have attached a stigma of some sort to "online". All it means is playing the game over the internets opposed to on the same console. IMO, this ridiculous notion that online play is synonymous with "cheese" and gamers that have a totally different goal when playing the game than offline gamers, has no merit. Utilizing an online connection to play Madden against other people around the nation, does not predisposition a gamer to a certain playstyle. Online is not the same moniker as causal, tourney or sim gamers, it just means playing over the internet.

Madden now has one CCM mode and its' applicable features that have online, ie internet, integration, that gamers can choose to use or not. CCM is online integrated so any features included in that mode should be too, imo. So until imported draft classes, player editing and 32 team control from one console/profile can be somehow online integrated, they have been left out of this online integrated mode.

There is no more improving Franchise separately for offline and online gamers, it's just improving one CCM for everybody.

All I'm going to say about this (Wait till next year) I have been waiting since 2006 when I was 22 years old...I'm now 28 years old and Married with kids and now I hear people again saying (Wait till next year) if we all keep waiting we are going to be 75 years old and I bet we will still be told (Just wait till next year)

I'm over 50. I'll be in the nursing home with dementia. I'm really upset at this almost lost decade.

If you look at game changers ideas, it shows that Fantasy Draft is above editing.. I hope they don't implement that before editing...

I'm not as old as you are Bucky, but at 36 I've come to the realization that my big fear from 2005 when the exclusive was announced that this is exactly what was going to happen. It takes forever for them to include fundamentals. We have to wait a whole year to get one thing changed. Then we have to pray that it even works. Remember back in the old days when you would get a new game and it was twice the product it was the year before? The sports games were amazing and the improvements each year were incredible. The two worst sports games are the only two with an exclusive license. What a coincidence...

Re: Madden NFL 13 Roster Editing Issue Rears Its Ugly Head

I just need some clarity, I have read some pages - but not all.

I like to create myself inside the game and play in franchise. I'm not sure how many people do that, and it may sound weird to some of you.. But I enjoy doing it. I actually create a few players.

With NCAA, I actually had the joy of creating myself in NCAA, playing, importing and drafting myself into Madden. Was a cool experience. Obviously this year, that route won't work. So I figured I'd create myself in the roster, then just start a season in the new "franchise" Connected Career's mode. Basically what I'm reading, is that isn't possible either.. Is that correct?

I've played online, I've bought friends Madden to play online franchise. I've also had games where people "cheat the game". I'm a gamer. It happens in every game. However, I prefer offline and what used to be there. 32 team control and all. It's about more than football.

We get it man....its just that for some reason EA decided the best way to do this would be to just about completely gut the offline experience completely and eliminate entire modes of playing the game. Could you imagine if EA just cut online completely and thats all you played because this is actually happening to some people with the changes that are being made.

That is correct. Your roster options are default or EA roster updates. No custom rosters. Your CAP option is to start an individual career.

They dont. The Show adds to its Franchise and modes each year.

NBA2k has only added to its franchise since it moved to next gen.

Even EA games like NHL and Fifa add to its franchise mode.

To answer your question not really. Which begs the question the madden team for the past two to three years can look at the gold standard of sports games The show and nba2k and model everything after them yet they continue to go against what's working for everybody else. Hmmm I wonder why? That's a rhetorical question because most have known for years why

Big,

I don´t have a twitter account, but from the times I visited Loomas twitter, the vastly majority were not rude. He blocked a few guys that post here just because they did not throw him a softball... You can dig around youtube, podcast´s and all you see is a love fest.

Plus, he said people will always complain about "little thing" when asked about an important aspect of the game for big part of the consumers. It´s better be clear I´m not defending people being rude, because they deserve a block. But a lot of the msgs I saw on his twitter were just tough questions of people that do not agree with his "little thing" remarks... and they were blocked.

Looman just need to look how M. Young is dealing with twitter...

I am not referring to people being rude though, I guess I am more so referring to the attitude that Looman "owes us" more than what he has already done. Familiarity breeds contempt comes to mind when thinking about this. Looman has told people what will not be in the game, given his explanation and POV on it so I don't see what more people expect from him. He is not some elected official or something and it's not like the game is even out yet and people bought it before finding this out.

I understand the disappointment and know all too well how it feels but this tweeter stuff about Looman is being blown out of proportion, imo.

Yeah, the only other game I can think of that followed a similar trend as Madden (in terms of feature inconsistency) was MLB 2K.
