An "in-detailed" superstar mode if you ask me. Definitely has promise. Could beef up the competition (over regular ranked-matchups). EA might have created something worth the purchase of M13.

I like what I see with CCs. Now can the team focus on gameplay for the next 2-4yrs? Like fundamental Pass and run blocking? Front 7 assignments actually playing out? I have feeling they will now, hopefully.

the gameplay team and the CC team are completely different.

Believe its been said countless times XP will take a good while to acquire and its not like you'll be able to boost someone up very fast at all.

I never said that it could be a fast process.

But right now "Flexible" wouldn't be one of the words I would use to describe this mode

Tiburon is the "team" and thats side stepping my point, if they can dedicate a team to gamemodes and get that "right", they should do the same for gameplay and get that "right". They havent been too proactive in fixing gameplay issues. Like DTs pancaking the Oline on the regular, Like the leagues elite DEs playing paddycake, instead of forcing the Qb to step up into the pocket, and thats just a few issues off the top of my head.

I hope to God its not the standard career mode for all sports games going forward as he predicted.


If all my sports games turned to single player season modes with no multi-player seasons.......I'd be sick! Really.

So can I create a bunch of players by starting them and quiting.....will they stay in the league so I can switch to coach mode and put them on my team?

With no control of 32 teams or importing draft classes that is my hope to enjoy Madden career mode.

What are you talking about? You can play as many seasons as you like (cut off is probably 30 like years past)

CCM sounds so awesome. Can't wait to try it out. I hope we get demo info soon.

Haven't been this excited for an offline mode in a while.

Its been said many, many times that after you quit playing as a certain created player, they retire and are no able to be used.

Well If that wasnt your thought process then I dont see where the issue is. I'm assuming you can boost the players (qb accuracy) as much as you want over the years if you gain enough XP and eventually due to age etc.. He would start to decline naturally.
If attaining good amounts of XP is a long process you'd want to spread the XP over different players I would think so that also hampers the amount of raising someones abilities... Unless of course if you just focus on one player the whole time.

If multi-player season/fantasy draft/player editing was in I think everyone would be at least content. A lot of innovative ideas here, and potential. Really going to miss my favorite thing in Madden which was online fantasy draft leagues. Hopefully the potential turns into more solid features...

But you earn XP by meeting goals.

Like one guy said, Kevin Kolb has had some 300 yard games, and he "sucks" lol.

Unless he's talking about co-op I don't know.
