I think you also have asked about Coaches getting fired if players get injured and again, I don't see the circumstances behind a Coach not reaching their goals having any bearing on the fact. In the real NFL most Owners/GMs don't care either, lol.
    I just forgot about ratings playing a factor in releasing like moneal2001 said, since xp and goals play a large part.

          Yes, completely. While I don't do a whole lot of editing mid-franchise, I do like to use updated rosters and draft classes (from here at OS ) and occasionally update breakout studs. But the big killer for me is not being able to play ANY OTHER GAME. Throughout a season I enjoy playing around with different teams' personnel and playbooks, and I usually play at least one playoff game that doesn't involve my team, for much the same reason.

          Looks like I'll be sticking with '12 and the fubar rookie player models. Or just stay with NCAA. They haven't messed that up like this yet.

          I find it amusing that the OS icon for NAU is 20 years (and three rebrands!) out of date.

              if you don't play as a created coach or legend you can play other teams games. you just have to switch coaches to the team you want to play as and then after playing switch back to your original team.

                I didn't realize how many people like to play other games in franchise. I choose to play as the bengals and always play their games but never play any other non user controlled games. Not judging just an observation.

                  I must say, I usually get excited for Madden but this may be the most excited I've been for a Madden in a long time. I'm really looking forward to seeing all that the new CCM has to offer.

                    Ugh just saw a bucs video and some players equipment isnt correct. Some players are missing visors that actually wear them. This is such a bummer, i hope opening up equipment editing can be patched EA has been really quiet about it in fact they havnt said anything. A simple yes or no would go a long way.

                      LMAO! I am not laughing at the poster but this is a hilarious statement given all the outrage following so many "simple yes or no" answers from devs this entire cycle, lol. That's not some shot at those disappointed by some of those yes and no answers because I have been too. However it's just funny to see it suggested that would "go a long way" because it has clearly only gone but so far when done.

                          Which is still more complicated then '12 or NCAA, where you can actually just play a game without controlling another team.

                            if people are complaining that bad about something not being in they would do whatever they could to do it. even if it was more complicated.

                              I would totally do that! lol ... As long as those coaches aren't retiring from the game when I make those switches. You'd probably crash the game by Week 3 or 4 if you tried to play EVERY game on the schedule.
                              After more than eight years on here, I finally figured out how to edit my time zone!

                                I don't have a full understanding of CC yet, so please forgive me if this is a stupid question or comment.

                                From what I am reading, if we want to basically play what USED to be offline franchise, we play CC as a head coach.

                                How does this impact player progression for my team and other teams?

                                I used to really like that we could NOT control player progression and don't like the idea of earning XP to boost player stats without some automatic player progression.

                                I liked the randomness of the progression based on performance, age, time played, etc...

                                90% of the reason I played the game was to see how players I drafted would progress.
