Sound Off: Has the 'Closed' Nature of Connected Careers Turned You Away?

[gjneff]

I'll try it, but way turned off. Everything I loved is either gone, or altered in a way that will annoy the hell out of me every time I see it.

This one statement sums up exactly how I feel. No question I've been disappointed in the recent news, but I'll overcome.

Like I said in a recent post, I loved my 2K5 franchise. In it, I couldn't edit players nor could I play other games. But I loved it no less, and it's probably the most I've been immersed in a football game.

Not that we should be moving backwards, but the joy I experienced w/ my 2K5 franchise lets me know that I can enjoy my M13 CCM as well.

As an aside, I was salty when we found out we couldn't play other games in CCM (and to a degree I still am). But I'm buying into keeping things authentic and them really wanting you to be so & so's head coach. Long as I can change coaches every offseason or so to keep my experience fresh, I'll manage to get by.

I think you will be able to just retire and come back .. not sure if you can just choose where you come back though ..

Has the 'closed' nature of Connected Careers turned you away and/or cooled your enthusiasm about Madden NFL 13?

Not at all.

Turned me off to both NCAA and Madden as far as a purchase from EA. May pick it up months after, used. If these features are put back in next year, I'll be back on board.

No it is a topic called? "Has the closed nature of connected careers turned you off". I responded with NO and gave reasons. I know its hard to comprehend, but my response does not take away YOUR complaints, you have every right to feel the way you do. The same reason, I gave MY reasons.

Some of you and the attitude "IF YOU DON"T FEEL LIKE I DO, YOU ARE WRONG!"
