I'd play this if I could do the season/playoff thing off-line but apparently you cannot. My internet is inconsistent and I hate trying to play someone and then it cutting out at the start of the 4th quarter, not fair to them and sucks for me.

Agreed - if they could make this mode work offline against AI I would dive in, but I know that goes against what they really want - which is the online social experience (and addiction).

Most games played in MUT are against the AI. Your collection is kept on the EA server, that is the only reason I can think of that online is a must.

It's my understanding that MUT didn't have the promotion/relegation -> tournament setup that's apparently extremely popular with FIFA.

I've came to the realization that EA just isn't going to just have a year where they just improve/perfect the game, and that we'll always be stuck with some mode I'll play once then never fire it up again. Which will probably be the case with UT.

It's a shame they feel the need to add a gimmick mode like UT every year, actually. But, we have nobody to blame but ourselves and fellow gamers. Making statements about not spending "my $60" on a repeat of a yearly game has gotten us to the point where EA thinks "we have to put a new feature into the game EVERY YEAR or nobody will buy it!" I'm sure 85% of the people on OS would, but I'm talking about the average gamer here.

I'll tell ya the only thing thats on my mind honestly. Fingers crossed that all of the scanned face models and any unique equipment in this mode is open for use in the standard editor. I.....will......be.....in......heaven if it is. If any of the game changers or ANYONE that has a link to the devs please tell them not to lock the aesthetic options. Any equipment, face models, etc need to be available in the standard dynasty mode editor.

Actually, does anyone have one of these guys twitter? Is it Chase B thats on the team now thats a member here? Seriously, I need to get at one of these dudes most expediently before its too late. I dont think this would be a complicated task at all. Its just if they're prompted to do it or not is what it comes down to I think.

This thread seems to be a little more active

No thanks, not interested. The only thing I am hoping for is it will mean we get better equipment that matches what we see on Saturdays.

Can players get hurt for a season?
