Why does this have to be so confusing?

Not sure, never really checked TBH...Is there a "Team Schedule" option some place? That's where I always used to go to look at the box scores/stats after a game...

Yeah there's still a Team Schedule option but I've only been able to view stats after a game that I actually played. I can only view the stats of a simmed game after I advance to the next week. It's not really a huge a deal, but If I want to sim the final pre-season game then there is no way to view the stats of that game, which is unfortunate but I can live with it.

yeah you can set it up for the maximum users number of 1, there are pros and cons, one is the fact that you have an autosave feature which you don't have offline plus whenever they finish the website you can do stuff from your computer. The big downside is the disconnection from EA servers, if the servers are down or your ISP is having trouble you won't be able to play your games until those issues are resolved. Other than that the CCM is supposed to be the same both online and offline.

Oh, I see what you're saying...yeah, before they always asked if you wanted to advance to regular season, then I'd select no and look at the stats...guess you can't do that in this year's game...

With the exception of the online tuning updates as opposed to waiting for a patch if your offline, correct?

I really like the new menus myself. Only thing that brothers me about them is your player needs to be cached better or something so it doesn't pause the game to load that section.

Thankfully that can be avoided by going left from the first entry to jump to the other side.

The unnecessarily compact menus the last few years have grown to be a pet peeve of mine, almost like they were meant to be used on a phone and not my HDTV.

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for change. I really like how you can now delve deeper into things with the new interface. Hopefully they continue to expand the career mode. Love the new resigning mode and free agency as well as scouting and drafting, although I wish there was a way to have the option to assign your scouting to your coordinators, etc. like in real life.

Send them to different schools each week and tell them who to scout (ie, CB, QB, RB etc.)

I know you can "delegate" these things, but it's a crap shoot right now as to who they actually scout. Would rather be able to tell them who to scout and what not...but all in all, I'm content with it

I'm a lil confused to. Can I play ccm with control of all players like play now. Or do I just have to control one player, ie my qb or rb?
