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

Wow okay, it seems alot of you guys misunderstood, what I was saying.

My point was not that you are all cheating (or myself for that matter). But I'll give you, it probably wasn't the best example I came up with.

Anyway, my point is that it makes sense to not be able to play other games, than your own. I too would love to watch any game I want but I don't see why I should be able to control Tom Brady if my QB is Peyton Manning.

With that said, I'm all for as many options as possible, I just don't see this as a deal breaker. But I see how it can be for some of you.

You misunderstood him. The keyword he used was Offline. I can understand what your talking about if it came to online play, then yes you shouldn't be able to control Tom Brady. Though if you are playing offline, why should EA care what I do in an OFFLINE Franchise.

Also, and this is something I want to figure out. Why is there this misconception that people want editing so that they can make everyone a 99, or they want to play other games because it helps their team out or gives them an easier Super Bowl? Just because some offline players cheat the system others do not and use it only to fix progression, or to play out their own storylines and their own NFL.

100% correct. Most of us just want a good clean NFL experience. If there are a few 10yr olds that want to edit everyone to a 99 i'm not going to play them anyway.

Alright never did that. Didn't think it was possible. But still not the point

It was part of your point. You used incorrect information to help solidify your point.

Regarding your greater point, you assume that everyone plays like you. I dont find the way you play franchise entertaining at ALL. Just as dumbfounded as you are that someone would play with multiple teams, I find it equally confusing that someone would want to pay 60 dollars to play with one team.

When I buy Madden, I buy access to a video game version of the NFL. I find it silly to limit myself to one team at all times or to be forced to restart a franchise every time I want to control a different team. With that said, I dont have a problem if you decide to play with 1 team....so I have no understanding of why anyone would have a problem with me controlling 32 teams offline.

I dont play 32 team franchises or other teams games to make it so my favorite team wins. I play it because sometimes I want to play with the Patriots and other days I want to play with the Broncos. I think this variety is also why I rarely burn out on games like most people do at OS.

This is why I just wish they had a "Career Mode", a "Franchise Mode", and a "Season Mode".

Career Mode would be CC, Franchise Mode which is what he had (and should have previous features added back like the "Extra Point" or Articles), and Season Mode would allow you to play as any team, all teams, or many teams, any game, at any time in the season.

Wow, you guys are hard to argue with. You - again - miss my point.

My point is not that everyone should play like me or that you should absolutely be limited to play with one team. Not at all. That's what you make it out to be.

My point is - regardless of whether one thinks it's right or wrong to leave out the option of playing every game - that I can understand why EA has come to the decision. Simply because you choose a team to coach. And then you coach that team. Not every other team.

Now, I'm not saying you shouldn't be able to coach all 32 teams in a connected career. And I have no problem with anyone wanting to play with all 32 teams. I'm just saying, that from a realistic perspective it makes sense, that you can't control whichever team you like at any given time.

However - as I stated in a previous post - I'm all for options and I am all for letting the users getting everything they want out of a $60 game.

I think that's it for me in this discussion. If you don't follow me on this one, I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree.

And may you have a very pleasant evening

Im not missing your point.

I'm disagreeing with you in saying it makes sense. To me it makes no sense.

But that's why they shouldn't fused everything. They should have just made CC replace Superstar, Keep Franchise, and maybe add a season and everybody would be happy.

There has never really been a concrete philosophy for franchise mode in Madden.

Are you playing as a coach? Then why are you controlling players?

Are you a GM? Then why can you set the depth chart?

Are you the owner of the team? Then why are you doing anything other than raising ticket prices?

It's as if they crammed a bunch of philosophies in one mode.

For me, I don't play franchise mode as a coach. I play franchise as if it's a God mode. A mode where I can follow the 32 teams as if it's a real football season.

That is why it's imperative that I can play any game at any time. Because I don't play with a specific team. I just play all of the fun match-ups on the schedule and try to build each team as best I can.

So while I understand the posters who treat franchise mode as a coaching career, that's just not the way I enjoy playing sports games.

I'm 10 years deep in a NBA2k Association. I control all of the teams. I flip coins in the playoffs to decide which team I will use for each game. It really immerses me in the action, so much that I get caught up in the fun of the entire league. I get to play with all of the stars. All of the emerging stars. My favorite team are the Orlando Magic, yet they haven't won a title in my Association. I don't cheat to help them win.

Following the entire league is what I want out of my Madden franchise too. If I cant use franchise mode as a God mode, then the Connected Career thing is virtually useless for me. I don't want to just use one team, because that's not how I have fun.

Also, the 'realistic' argument holds little weight, IMO. How realistic is it for a coach to be unable to watch games from around the league?

As far as cheating, can't a user just keep simulating scores until they got the one they wanted? And even so, why does it matter for an offline franchise?

I don't see where the idea came from the offline CC is restricted for the sake of "realism". That's negated by the simple fact that you create yourself to use in the game. If they wanted realism, how about getting all of the penalties in the game, line interaction, remove mirrored animations, there are so many other things that can bring realism, locking you into a restricted play mode in a sports title is one of the worst ideas to get this accomplished in my opinion.

Gamechanger site? Really man?

Well considering it is EA sponsored... And EA managed... And EA tracked, you.can guarantee that they are looking for ideas and thoughts there first. That's why fantasy drafts are the top votes right now. Sitting back and criticizing and arguing amongst each other doesnt accomplish anything. Make the effort to make them listen. Take some initiative of it is that important to you.

They know what the offline gamers want.. I know the seen the feedback about the missing features on this site and the EA forum. It's just too late for them to do anything about it this year(So they say).. So I guess the offline gamers have to wait until Madden 14 or 15 to get the complete game we been looking for(Hopefully) combined with the great features they added this year..

I can understand that stance... But if it doesn't make it next year and they say "this, this, and this were the most requested features" then you will have made yourself up a creek without a paddle.

Yeah, at the end of the day it's a video game and we should ALL have the OPTION to play the game HOW WE SEE FIT.

I typically only control one team in Franchise, as I find 30- or 32-team control (depending on the sport) too time consuming and overwhelming. But, I'd never try and force MY way of playing a game onto someone like Aholbert, who obviously prefers to play the game a different way.

As long as we can both find a way to get enjoyment out of the game, that's all that should really matter.

My point is - regardless of whether one thinks it's right or wrong to leave out the option of playing every game - that I can understand why EA has come to the decision. Simply because you choose a team to coach. And then you coach that team. Not every other team.

By this logic, If you are the coach you should not be able to play as a team it should only be in coach mode, and a coach is not overly concerned with twitter feeds about random players in college as the GM's is worring about the draft. This is any more realistic than any other year.

This is why I just wish they had a "Career Mode", a "Franchise Mode", and a "Season Mode".

Career Mode would be CC, Franchise Mode which is what he had (and should have previous features added back like the "Extra Point" or Articles), and Season Mode would allow you to play as any team, all teams, or many teams, any game, at any time in the season.

And I wouldn't touch CC because it just too restictive to be fun to me.

For all the people snickering at the game changers idea site. I will admit when it first launched I was one of them This right here is probably what you to take notice of and pay attention to. Like I said I thought the idea was BS, but I have been keeping an eye on it. In addition to random posters, I have seen guys like Emdotfrisk, Shopmaster and ShaunLMason posting their idea on there. Again, though I was skeptical and thought they were giving the sight validity, but it seems like this it the way that EA is going to be taking and using our feedback going forward we need to embrace this for better or worse. Because people are gonna be pissed if an idea that is not "sim" gets added because it got the most votes....

That said, there needs to be some policing over there too, because I just went to the recent and there are 1,300 idea across all EA sports games and you view them 10 at a time, so there is the chance that good ones get buried.

Just to reiterate my point and the point that Casey made, if this is one of the ways that EA is soliciting feedback, then OS should be very active on that site with for example LBz "speeding up the DE animations and disengage animations" idea. Which is a really good one. And if this site/idea falls through we can say we tried and were attempting to be a part of the solution not the problem
