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

You know...I play both and I think they are sacrifices for the greater good just like even adding online was instead of improving offline a while back. I have to trust that time was the problem but I do believe that multiple offline users, editing equipment/numbers, importing and using custom rosters for CCM should be in the game for on and offline. Editing ratings inside this new mode I feel breaks the mode's intent. I stopped buying a lot of games because they became online only as a multiplayer experience.

That only applies to XP and if you design the mode properly it won't break anything by giving the user the option to edit or not. Some people might use full editing, some people might want XP, some people might want both. If you give people the opting and design is to be flexible you can make everyone happy and that should the goal of any development team.

I really wonder what percentage of players edit their players in ANY way. I personally have edited players in every madden that I have been able to do so. I don't see how this could have been OK with them. Is there not enough space on the disc to create an offline and online version of connected carrers?

Though I personally think being able to do a fantasy draft online would be a mess as far as scheduling goes but would be awesome as well. For anyone who has played Fantasy Football, this would be a blast. I have some severe scheduling issues with playing with friends anymore with my family responsibilities but I would find a way to be a part of a fantasy draft in an online league.

problem is online has become a priority because they can make money for online use from things like Season Pass when offline should be the priority because not everyone can or wants to play online but everyone can play offline.

Time and money.

Which I hope translate into a great product in the future especially with the nex gen of systems lurking around.

No more excuses for a subpar game as far as I am concerned.

I don't think it was purposefully intended to be removed from the game mode. I think they realized it later and just shrugged it off as no one will care too much or the people will just deal with it.

...they were sorely mistaken

At some point it was going to even out and it just turns out that it was this year. Online has taken the short end of the stick for the last several years.

As a season pass user we don't get to try out online during the 3 day preview.

Evening things out would be to give online everything offline had...instead they keep online basic and trim offline to match it.

I wouldn't call online basic by any stretch of the definition. It is just missing editing. Compared to all the stuff added that is very miniscule.

That's not really accurate. It's not like they made offline what online was in 12. It's more like (in terms of comparison...I'm not saying this is literally what happened) they met somewhere in between, which just so happened to hamper the offline aspect much more.

And really, offline got some attention in some additional areas as well. It just came at the expense of areas some of us care more about. Sucks, I definitely agree (hell, I've written several dissertations here on the topic this past week...lol), but let's be fair.

Contractor notes from customer:
Customer wants great craftsmanship with quality materials and fixtures. Has been burned by other contractors in the past and just wants to finally get a job done right and without compromises and shortcuts since he's paying top dollar for the job

Contractor notes from punch list:
Well, its amazing and I can't get over how good the paint looks. Sure there's a few things here and there like electrical covers and such, but nothing big and it's another job well done.

Contractor notes from walkthrough with customer:
Totally caught off guard by client beeing upset with missing electrical and plumbing. Paint and yard looks amazing, but client still unhappy about things missing from house that we just didn't feel were that big off a deal. Sticking with me guns though with client that plumbing was way to risky and so what if we ran out of time to get the other stuff done. Bahamas baby here I come!

me guns though with client

Lol......I wrote that on my iPad and I think I was shooting for " I'm sticking to my guns though with the customer" I have no idea how that came out like that.

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

Does anyone know if we have to always start a CC with the latest roster update or whether we can use pre- downloaded roster files i.e. The default or pre-seadon update later in the year ? I ask this because if its the former it would explain why no editing is possible

[GuideMe1]

I have a question to the community...Is it plausible that having the ability to edit rosters will lead to jacked up teams with 6'4" CBs, 400 pd linemen, & 6'7" WRs..etc? I play Dynasty mode on NCAA every year & this year in 2012, EA allowed that edit roster feature (height & weight in particular) into Dynasty mode to all users, after the Dynasty began & it hurt way more than it helped. I think letting Donny handle the roster updates is good enough because it keeps the game on a level playing field...IMO. General consensus, from what I've read so far about M13, is that the game will be great. My point being...you've got to give the man a fair chance to succeed at updating the rosters before U fail him at updating the rosters..don't U?
