Madden NFL 13 CCM Will Not Allow You to Play Other Games on the Schedule, Only Yours

[BengalsFan99]

The reason why we can only control 1 team and not make any changes to any player is because the franchise mode (CCM) is totally scripted!!!! Everything in CCM is FIXED, your coach or player that you control is the wildcard if you will; meaning you can only effect things to a certain degree. You will have to earn a bunch of XP for your team or player to fully take a stranglehold on your experience. I will not buy Madden 13 this year, I will be buying NCAA13 instead I liked 12 and the new animations and passing control , and ESPN presentation has won me over. SCREW YOU Josh Looman u just killed my fav aspect of Madden Franchise Mode.

I don't think it ridiculous at all. If he is not happy with the features that were removed that he liked then he simply shouldn't buy it. No one is making him "have to pay" for anything. How many of these guys that complain about it still go out and buy it and come back here and cry and moan about how bad it is! You knew going in what features/modes were left out! Then you have no one to blame but yourself!



Of course you don't have to buy something to have an opinion on it, No one has bought this game yet and how many people here have formed opinions already?

Because its THE ONLY NFL GAME THERE IS!!! Why is that so hard to understand? If there were choices that would be a different story. But EA and the NFL saw to it that there isnt. So I think anyone is completely within their rights to be upset about a potential game breaker (to many) like this

LOL. I swear Looman has blocked a bunch of people on Twitter. All for asking about missing features on CCM.

Reading your post, I'd just add there's a difference between being upset and then letting it go, and blowing a gasket over a video game of all things. Really, is there a reasonable explanation getting that worked up over what amounts to a toy?

I just want to know if they have fixed the way incoming players look, equipment and number wise. I haven't played madden 12 since I left the OS Vets, but offline I'm sure I saw guys coming in with giant shoulder pads, skill position guys having those giant elbow pads, every tape option and taped up ankles with that awful bulky tape, I don't want my QB wearing a Dan Marino facemask either. Is that a little OCD? Yes, probably but it's one of the things that I like to do and enjoy doing. Let me fix that and give my players numbers that make sense. and I would be happy. Went a long time without being able to edit rating within a franchise I can live with that.

And I want to raise this point once again. What if I have two sons at home and we want to play a franchise together in the evening? We have to what have 2 game systems and 2 copies of the game and play online? Is that the only "solution" What exactly does EA say to me? How do I get that little pleasure out of Madden?

That question has nothing to do with being a "hardcore" madden fan. That is a situation that would/could affect Madden's "casual" base more than the hardcore.

Wouldn't it sound better this way:

If it's in the game, it's in next year.

That is kinda weak, but I understand why.

No point in having your twitter polluted by a bunch of angry messages.

But give it time. What you're missing is, they didn't take out any features this year.

WHAT? The features were in last year, and they are not in this year, but they have not been taken out? Then where are they?

Your reasoning is so illogical.

People are screaming over what's missing, and how restrictive it is. They should be screaming foul. I have not heard anyone screaming over what's been added, well except maybe another unrealistic progression system <smiley>. Not sure how anyone wouldn't understand that.</smiley>

There has been a lot of people talking about how these missing features completely renders the new stuff null and void, which is equivalent to me.

As far as the "unrealistic" progression system, it's impossible to create a real one. Miles Austin for instance is lucky to even make the roster, and then an injury happens and suddenly he's balling out of control. You can't accurately replicate that, and you can't accurately replicate how quickly players can suddenly fall off. It's too unpredictable, and the backlash you're seeing now would pale in comparison to what would happen if your star players could just suddenly regress without reason.

You have a link to confirm this? Nothing I've seen thus far leads me to believe that CCM is "scripted" or "fixed".

Reminds me of the KGB knock knock joke.

"We will ask the questions!"

What if all the messages are not angry? What if some of them are your consumers looking to get clarification on what the new mode is/what they can and can't do? Some guys got blocked for asking questions about CC.

Connected Careers is a brand new mode, built 100% from the ground up and not using any existing code, meaning those features were never in CCM to be taken out.
