I am usually not one to say I won't buy a game, but after reading all the problems with the only mode I use (Franchise) I may just cancel my preorder and wait a little bit longer for NHL 13. I have a few more days to see what is going to be patched before deciding.

Same here. I only play offline. When they said editing was out I got REALLY concerned as it was the only way to fix CPU AI or weird progression/regression.

Since I won't enjoy the mode until it is patched (IF it is patched) I might as well wait to buy it until it is patched.

I'm certain some of them have noticed but the nda prevents them from saying anything. That's probably the biggest flaw in the program and why many feel the program is....unhelpful; for lack of a better way to say it. It's also probably why there's such a huge divide in the fanbase. You either are able to accept the issues and have faith that they don't intentionally put out a bad product, or you are once bitten, twice shy.

Future of franchise modes my butt.

I'm not even gonna say what I really think about this, I like being a member of this forum too much, so I'll just leave it at that.

Without exaggerating, things like this are just inexcusable.

Dont try to use logic when talking about EA football titles.

This makes you really appreciate the days when they would just give a guy some crazy number that nobody at his position wears... Man those were the days...Better than duplicates....... :/

You have got to be kidding me! How do these things get by the testers?

[richie923]

If only NCAA had this problem.
