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.

OK if you want this line of thinking, then they removed franchise mode by their own words. Is that removed enough for you?

Hey, on the brightside... You'll now get a full Pokemon experience trying to level up your players by gaining XP after practices and meeting goals.

I fully expect them to introduce the ability for my players to have traits like "Thunderbolt", "Flamethrower" or "Watergun"

I know, I know... I used to watch Pokemon

Don't worry I used to watch Pokemon as well and now I get to finally combine Pokemon and the NFL, thanks EA!

Congratulations your CALVIN JOHNSON JR evolved into MEGATRON!

I got something better...

Patriots take the field for offense...

Wild Tom Brady Appeared!

Go Terrell Suggs!

Suggs uses Sack... The move did not have any effect.

Suggs Uses Sack... Critical Hit! It's Super Effective! Enemy Tom Brady Fainted... Terrell Suggs Gains 45 EXP. Points!

I think your missing some from the gain list. I have heard of new ratings to help the overall fluctuate, and the salary cap is new for online, which is probably a big reason for a lot of these changes. To help online get on par with offline. But that could also be the reason some of the things lost were also because of the Online aspect. Now I agree it stinks they removed these features, but I also see where there could be problems with this new mode.

Like the playing games that aren't yours, they could be running into problems with how to keep it restricted to the offline because you need to remember these modes are linked into one. And this could also be true for the 32 team control, as when trying to make it compatable with online they could be running into bugs. I truely believe online might be a huge reason with alot of the features being removed, and it stinks and I really hope they are working on finding ways to get them back in.

haha no lol.

I'm still trying to figure out how they worked on this for 2 years and couldn't find a way to get it to work with the features they took out. You would think with 2 years, they would get it working right with the features already in the game.

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

Talk about turning a lot of longtime Madden players upside down, sideways and then taking them out to the out house and beating the **** out of them.

I emphathize with all of you.

I am still buying the game.....and I have a feeling I will love it.

I am going to take my old school approach. I control one team, one destiny. Mine.

It is what it is for Madden 13. I am going to enjoy the heck out of the game if all the improvements come to fruition. I see a very immersive one player experience.

I see playing 10, 12, heck 15 seasons...changing careers mid stream...becoming a QB maybe...or a RB..or a legend as a rookie...or just being a coach for several teams over 20 years.

To me CC looks so cool and I will give it a true chance.

We are getting full on complete change. I hope it works out.

But I can't disagree on the outrage for guys who have been playing the game the way they want for a long time....and suddenly it is gone.

Tough pill to swallow.

But I think it is totally temporary.

Personally, this is disappointing. However, I usually only watch one other game that I don't control in franchise mode (all other years before Madden 13, that is): The Superbowl. I love seeing the presenation, the end of the game celebration etc.

**goravens2052** · 06-13-2012, 04:14 PM

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

46 pages of frustration... wow.

Surprised that we were able to get them to change the scoreboard so quickly but yet why do I have a feeling they won't budge on adding this back in before the release.

I'm the opposite. I start a number of franchises.

1-I only play on the day the games are played during the season when my team plays, I play.
In my house during football season, if you don't talk football politely leave and never return.

2-Since I'm a fan of the NFL, of the NFC EAST E-A-G-L-E-S, I despise any other NFC team. I respect the fans and their players but if you stand in the way of my team you must be eliminated. Subsequently, I rarely play with another NFC team (unless my sons or nephew are giving me a handicap) So on the days I'm not playing my EAGLES franchise, I'm going with team B which could be the COLTS, STEELERS (I often try to get the Pennsylvania Super Bowl), RAVENS (wife's favorite team, she loves RAYRAY, and REED,), and sometimes the JAGUARS (I feel sorry for MJD too much talent to not have better supporting players).

In the times I'm not playing some type of offline chise, I'm making roster adjustments while following the weekly wrap up of games. I'm watching the NFL network, ESPN, DAILYNEWS live, and making the adjustments to get the game to emulate what happened that week. Noticing that this facemask is wrong, this receiver doesn't wear double large tape on his wrists, this one has shoes that are almost all yellow.....you get where I'm going. I immerse myself in a pseudo NFL...hell if I could I would be in this world from the combine to the film room. So CC sounds perfect for a person like that except where my compulsion lied coupled with the fact of not being capable of playing the game online, and offline CC seems like a one trick pony that I can only ride once.

Thanks for posting. It was a good read and when it comes down to it, I personally like what CCM is bringing to the table. I think it will really keep me invested in the game. Last year, I never made it through a single year of Franchise.
