Lol agreed. I haven't done a fantasy draft since I was in like 7th grade when I just wanted all the best players on one monster team. Not hating on anyone who uses it, I can see how it might be cool for an online league, just throwing that out there.

As long as the servers are not down there is no reason to not want to play while connected to the internet.

Because the first time I lose my connection when I'm up 21-17 in the superbowl my controller is going through my TV.

Please explain the extra benefits you speak of? A website? Tuners?

I played madden to play madden. I dont need any websites or apps for stats or anything like thAt.

Tuners are no big deal as i can just wait for a patch to drop offline.

Thing is and I'm not opposed to moving most of your focus to the online community but, not everyone everywhere has access to the internet. I for one am moving out to the country in about 2 months and I know for a fact because I called all the company's who deliver internet in my area and none reach that far out. So does that mean because I will be living out where the internet cannot reach I can't enjoy Madden anymore once they move to keeping everything on the internet ? It costs a fortune to have a company like windstream or Cox Cable or At&t to run the fiber optic cable to get internet if it's to far away.

That's just me, but I know there are plenty of people in rural areas that do not have internet and to ignore them would be bad.

EA pretty much confirmed on Twitter that they will add fantasy draft and possibly editing for offline CCM in the next title update. Just read their tweets.

Actually its all online. If EA's servers are down....I cant play CCM. If my internet connection is down...cant play ccm. If I dont have Gold...cant play my CCM.
