It hasn't turned me off at all. Still buying it day one.

I understand why some are upset over the lack of some features...but the argument of "they're making me play the game their way!"? Well...it IS their game. And believe it or not, you've always played their game their way. You take advantages of options EA gives you.

I imagine those who are saying "I refuse to play it their way!" are the same people who change the rules in Monopoly regarding free parking. I also imagine these same people (not ALL of them, mind you, but a good portion...and they know who they are) will be in the "Official Madden 13 Reaction Thread" giving their opinions on the game even though "I'm not buying it for the first time in ___ years."

EA has a long way to go with this game. In my opinion, they pushed CCM out now so that they can be sure the ground floor is solid for the future. Making it work now, and adding to it next year, means (imo) that they will be able to import it to next-gen, saving us from the headaches of Madden '06 repeated for Madden 15. This technology can be used in the future; I'd rather get a full-fledged title for the start of next-gen and a smaller feature set now, than to get a full old franchise now & a gimped Madden later. The current gen is 7 years old...if I'm spending hundreds on a new console next year, I want a good Madden game to go with it. Madden 13 will see to that.
