Sound Off: Has the 'Closed' Nature of Connected Careers Turned You Away?

"I am talking HOW you talk to people. These two posts are EXACTLY my point!"

@Bucky straight up, I am not getting into a back and forth with you. You guys (the loudest ones) are dragging enough people into unneeded debates.

Straight up, then go back and delete post 468. I would rather know what two posters and what two posts you mean by "How you talk to people", cause if you have a legit complaint, then things can be corrected. If you don't help with this, no one has any idea what may need to be corrected.

If you want to drop it fine. But then go delete post 468 and be done with it.

And "dragging people into unneeded debates? I think the debates are needed. EA/Tib does look at these forums, don't they?

Re: Sound Off: Has the 'Closed' Nature of Connected Careers Turned You Away?

Well said, but my point is even if someone says "but just think about how online guys felt and look how much better the game is now because we've always wanted this" you still should not be getting into a debate over which one is MORE correct.

The problem is all this constant fighting for zero reason. One group is unhappy, one sees both sides, one loves the changes, and one does not care either way. To create a battle between all these groups because YOU don't agree is WRONG

I agree and I'm sure I've somehow let my emotions cross that line. Its just that the "who cares about all the stuff missing" crowd really gets under my skin you know. I'd like the game to be designed for everyone and it just seems like that crowd doesn't care about others and that bothers me a lot......lol

I am just going to add you to the ignore list because you don't get it and you keep repeating yourself every post.

I've found myself using this feature a lot the last several pages

I'm all in on constructive criticism. I love that there are differing viewpoints. But in the last week, the forum has been flooded with Johnny-come-latelys and/or people who rarely post. They're free to express their opinions as we are, but when people say the same thing over and over, then the IG list is where ya go...

I feel you trust me, I have done my share of "fighting" for change from the EA football franchise. There is a way to do it correctly, and it can be done overboard. Notice Aholbert does not agree with the changes at all, and he makes his point VERY clear. He is also not repeating his self every other posts.

No one I believe is truly happy the things were removed, just some people can live with it is the difference. That does not fault them in any way, just like it does not fault the people who CAN'T live without those features. It just means different people require different things.

This has nothing to do with the business model of EA (Which I think is all kind of jacked up and we the consumers take the short stick), that is a entire different topic. Arguing with people who are not part of that business model is a complete waste of time because nothing changes, nothing is fixed, and wasted typing.

Yea the long time guys here know who likes or dislikes the gameplay or inner workings of EA. We have made this clear with posts throughout the years. But some guys are just overboard right now, literally posting the same thing a different way every single post.

Re: Sound Off: Has the 'Closed' Nature of Connected Careers Turned You Away?

With all that said, I am done with the back and forth in here.

On Topic: I am excited for Madden for the first time in a LONG time.

Re: Sound Off: Has the 'Closed' Nature of Connected Careers Turned You Away?

I usually go on this website everday, all year round, but dont usually comment on the Madden forum untill the new info comes out in the spring. Once the game comes out, im usually buried in the Sliders forum. I have a feeling im on alot of peoples ignore list...HA!

Re: Sound Off: Has the 'Closed' Nature of Connected Careers Turned You Away?

I tweeted this to mr looman.

" will the CPU manage their rosters more efficiently this year in offline CCM?"

Simple, direct and in no way rude right?

I was blocked about 15-20mins later.

I just happened to remember your post in another thread because I was going to reply to it but decided not too.

WOW.... A simple question to josh got me blocked.... And it was polite and direct.

Me:
"without 32 team control, will the CPU manage their teams intelligently?"

He could have just not responded. But instead blocked me.

That says alot honestly.

Now one seems much more snide than the other, imo but either way, I have no idea what you actually tweeted Looman that got you blocked because you seem to have posted two different versions.

Maybe you have two twitter accounts or something, who knows but what Looman blocking people from tweeting him is supposed to signify, I really don't understand anyway.

It's posts like these that sometimes make me wonder if you're able to discern people who don't care about others losing features from those who genuinely don't care. Over the past two days the following snips have come from some of my posts:

This is not to say I don't see your point and feel for you...

This is almost as ridiculous as not caring about the lost features.

I still sympathize with the people who are upset because I know what it's like for a video game to not do what I want it to, when it seems like it should.

...while in no way am I trying to minimize those losses...

And then you respond to one of my posts with the following:

I wouldn't expect you to understand at all because you're clearly incapable of taking whats important to you and combining that with whats important to others into consideration.

...you're clearly missing the big picture which is something you have in common with EA.

That's my biggest problem in all of this. Such dismissive attitudes and near mud-slinging buries the real issues at hand.

Online crowd, Offline crowd, Midline crowd, Don't care crowd, Edit/custom crowd.

That's enough factions to play RISK. I want the blue army.

Re: Sound Off: Has the 'Closed' Nature of Connected Careers Turned You Away?

I am excited about the changes in Madden. I am sad to see certain things go by the wayside but I felt the game was a little stale anyhow. The new in game features (engine, passing, CCM) are fresh and new and once these get polished I believe they will bring back the things we lost (editing, import) I am glad they they are solely concentrated on innovations rather than re hatching the same game this year with just a new engine.

Re: Sound Off: Has the 'Closed' Nature of Connected Careers Turned You Away?

Have you guys focused on the gameplay videos, though, for both NCAA and Madden? Both look about the same. They both have the pass trajectory stuff the same, new catch animations, the fields and player models look the same, etc. I've even seen player physics in both games. I'm starting to get even more suspicious...not that I mean to...but it's right there for us to see, you know.

Re: Sound Off: Has the 'Closed' Nature of Connected Careers Turned You Away?

I'm very disappointed at the removal of all the customisation and control I spent so much time utilising however I like the new CC features particularly the XP system for progression ( hopefully its tuned well).
I'm also pretty positive as to how gameplay on the field is progressing
Just PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE give me full player editing back or at least allow the use of custom rosters asap

Re: Sound Off: Has the 'Closed' Nature of Connected Careers Turned You Away?

im excited about CCM. Im not big into playing other games or editing my players.
