I hope your right I wasn't looking for a whole lot of flash or weekly highlight show. Just for the CPUs to manage themselves better and for them to fix all the problems with game created coaches.

Only really cared about my player before I read this, but it looks really good. Can't wait.

Maybe I've been missing out, but with online association this game is now officially on my radar.

Not really understanding the lukewarm and sometimes negative sentiment to this mode on this thread. This has got to be the most anticipated mode (well having been on OS I'm not too sure) of the entire series and the the general feeling is just "Meh"?

Sidenote: I hope we can edit rosters, because some of the ratings are insane.

The two things I am most curious about went unmentioned. Custom rosters and full sliders. I really need to be able to put the rookies on the teams for Association mode. I would love to assume they are included in Online Association, but history has told me to never assume when it comes to game features.
