I'm not a conspiracy theorist but EA (specifically the Madden series) is notorious for the old "take away and give back" game. They take a feature like editing away and then promote it as a new feature the following years.

They did it when Madden went to next gen consoles under the guise of "we are building from the ground up" and they did it again this year with CCM. EA has also done it in the past with Fifa, Live and NHL.

With the exception of Crew mode, I've never seen NBA 2k do this. Never seen Sony do that with the show. Never seen THQ do it with their sports fighting games. It appears to be a EA only move with sports games.
