I think the consumer is pretty use to disappointment when "a step in the right direction" is ok for most. I don't want to hear "You can play online and your problems are solved". True? Nah because some of us don't feel like fighting the internet connection. I have a TBI from Iraq and cannot stand auto save features, and occasionally need a break from the screen in which I usually d/c. And sometimes just not reading/understanding and making a stupid mistake while navigating through the screens (autosave). I can't stand that there's no chain gang. People say it's not a big deal and it was annoying to see them come out. Cool, so let's take refs out, the nets behind the goal post, etc. It's a part of the game. Stats for sim, user control taken away so now we have to wait till EA is ready to release rosters to play with current teams, CPU clock management, Mass subs, formation subs, sliders, etc. You guys can make excuses for EA and say they were rushed, or at least they're headed in the right direction but i'm sorry, all we are doing is beta testing for Madden 14. That can slide for you but in my opinion shouldn't be accepted throughout the gaming community. There are a lot more issues unlisted because it'll just sound like a broken record at this point but I encourage all of you to tweet, Facebook, or even e-mail individuals connected with EA to share your displeasure in whatever aspect of the game to make these fools recognize that these statistics of online leagues/activity doesn't mean your game was "successful" and the best, it just means you forced us into playing online to play the least broken feature.

NFL Quaterback club 2001 on N64 had refs and a chain gang you can run into and they fell over. If they could do it.....
