Creating Players In Madden 13

[Cre8]

Haven't seen this anywhere, but I am curious if we are still able to simply 'create players' to add to rosters before starting a CCM.

If someone like Josh Gordon or Jeff Demps isn't in the game or update tonight when I download it I would like to create them and move into my CCM with the players in there.

Can someone with the retail please try this out and let the community know.

No you can't, this came up in the Edit Loophole thread a bit

I don't see how the roster Ea puts out is different than anything we would do before starting a CC. It should be the exact same without repercussion because the numbers are just numbers. I can see why we don't have that ability within the mode, but to not have the ability to take a custom roster into the mode makes no sense at all. It defies logic, the only reason I can figure we don't have it and it wasn't even considered is that it kills two birds with one stone.

1)Your gonna most certainly have to purchase Madden next year if for no other reason than an "accurate roster"

2)Head Coach didn't have it, and since CC is built from HC, it saved time simply to not even think about including it.

But to answer your question, I think it would be easier to add the ability to edit before entering CC. But I don't think it's any harder to add it within connected careers... they could turn off the xp system and let the computer "advance" players the way it always has like previous franchise modes.

This is why I have real concerns we will ever have

Create-A-Player

back the way we had I.E... adding created players to teams

They probably don't want us creating Rosters for the next year....and skipping the next version of Madden if we don't like the direction

This cuts the value down for me because after the Draft/FA begins I come on here and get an update that somebody graciously did for the community

I don't want to think the worst of EA, I like many of the other games(Big Fan of Battlefield.....but this is still the same Company that tried to lock Forza out of using Porches in their games.....

So Im expecting a lot of

A. First A denial, We do have create a player...(SuperStar Version)

then

B. The usual excuses
We didn't have time....We have to Prioritize....Maybe Next Year

Glad I still have Madden 12 for that then...

I still can't wait for M13, but this is something that needs to be reconsidered by the dev team. It isn't just some sort of opinion at this point... I think it could really turn off a large portion of the community.

Doesn't make a lot of sense to me when NCAA has TeamBuilder, etc.

NBA 2K has draft class creation AND player creation and it still sells like crazy every year. meh... I am preaching to the choir.

Thanks for the heads up!

Well I hope its just like they say


"Just didn't have time"

And all this stuff is back for 14

but then you look at now this design is going into NHL too and you stop an pause for a minute

Im pretty sure you'd have to control that player throughout CC...otherwise he would retire and disappear if you switched to another coach or player

Man do I feel terribly sorry for people who don't have XBL.
