One more question I have though that maybe was already answered elsewhere and I just missed it is, let's say you select to play as a WR, do you see everything from a first person perspective of that receiver or how does it work? I never even tried Superstar mode in the past so maybe that would answer my question but I've already traded in all my past Maddens lol

its not a first person camera but its like a close third person. and i think thats how you will be playing your opponent. u can still play your franchise just like u used to except now u have more options and depth.

I think we all have to give ea some props now after bashing them so much. Maybe if they see so much positive feedback they will continue on this track.

Now, I can coach the Bears for 5 years before becoming bored and then leave for the Dolphins (not possible before) and then play with them for 6 years. Maybe then I get bored with the Dolphins, so then I create a Quarterback and play for the Rams for 13 years before retiring. Now I want to take over that veteran runningback on the Raiders in the last 6 years of his (and my) career. I could never even consider doing that in Madden 12. Now, I can. My only complaint is that you can only play 30 seasons.

yeah, thats great, except in Madden 12 i could control all 32 teams and play out infinite storylines in franchise mode, which gave it infinite replayability. now im stuck controlling either a single team or a single player. this almost completely kills Madden for me. offline franchise was the only mode i played and controlling all 32 teams is my preferred way to play for a number of reasons. 1- its more fun. i take on the role of comissioner and God. 2- to stop the AI from doing outrageously stupid **** during the offseason. Madden has never managed to have the AI teams behave realistically in the front office. if you dont take control of all 32 teams, a whole bunch of stupid, unrealistic crap happens every offseason.

My biggest disappointment came from the NCAA thread where they are said to have no import draft classes, my only grip other than that the mode sounds really interesting and I hope it's as good as advertised....just wish they would have had just that one small import draft class detail and I would have been 100% satisfied with what I heard.

Ive always been a EA fan justwish they improved in the past .... So of course I will give them props their MASSIVE overhaul on the game

I'm not arguing that not allowing people to control 32 teams is a good idea. What I am arguing is that Connected Careers is an improvement. I too would like to control multiple teams/people.

has it been confirmed or denied that in offline mode you can't control more than one team?
