I haven't ever. But I don't care about that stuff, but I understand that others do, so I will support the cause to bring it back.

Its becoming evident that CCM is a mode that isn't going to be about user customization at all. Why is customization and immersion being treated as seperate entities. The Show and NBA 2K's career modes are both immersive and full of customization options.

No, not at all.

I like to get in and play asap with three busy teenagers.

From an networking IT type perspective, I see it this way:

They used this year as an opportunity to increase centralization of the code and management of the whole set of features. It's a year to consolidate, while also allowing them to scale some development across user groups.

But the sacrifice was they reduced user (player) profile customization and control. They knew they were doing this.

That doesn't mean they don't hope to add more customization back from the centralized development platforms in future years, especially as console technology goes nextgen. But they knew they were going to take this hit this year and they're hunkered down to ride it out, for this year at least.

Before everyone gets after me, no I don't like it. I'm not excusing, just offering a possible understanding. First rule in network IT when you roll out upgrades across an enterprise is : don't reduce the user experience by taking away things they are used to. Even if the majority don't use it, the outcry will be intense, swift and sustained.

And that's what we're seeing.

Or maybe DLC the basic season mode.

That Twitter stuff is cool but not if its gonna lock up my freedom within my league.

as I have said before MLB the show is the greatest game in sporting history because of all the customisation you can do. you can even play AAA games you can play every single god dam game of the season if you wanted to. What even makes it more impressive is you can edit injuries!!! I will continue to buy MLB every year if they just keep upgrading things (what they need now is create a player in franchise mode and fix the playoff system)

Hell MLB the show has franchsie mode Season mode and RTTS wow!!!! and just play now. what has madden got now???? ohh CC mode and play now big woooop 2 modes??? you cant tell me that 'they didn't have time' what a load of crap all they needed to do was add in CC mode improve the gameplay etc and keep the other features from past maddens.

I bet CC mode we are some generic random fake player too (wait for that to be annonuced and another 40 page thread) and lets say we are a QB in New England instead of being Tom Brady.

all madden had to do was add that option change the gameplay add a few new bells and whistles improve some presentation. etc.

but no they cut 9 features out completley no customisation at all, I can't beleive they don't understand how important customisation is for a sports game.. wait yes I do becaue they want to have it in their hands so that we have to buy madden every year and cant customise it the way we want.

REALLY.

Why do you some people defend EA by saying "It's a limited cycle, things might not make the cut, they are fusing it to add more in the future etc.".

I'M NOT SURE IF SOME OTHER SPORTS GAME DO THIS.

Look at NBA 2K10-12. Have they really deleted any type of features game mode wise? Have they had to make any "final cuts"? Have they ever taken out a feature because it didn't work well?

SERIOUSLY.

I know some of you don't use some of the features that were taken out, but notice that they were OPTIONAL. EA is removing the little things that we liked or have liked in Franchise mode this year, or for years. The RTP will be good, but of course, they haven't fixed the bad running animations that have been there for years, along with the footplanting issues, the o-line d-line, the passive WR's/WR & DB issues, etc.

The CC could've remained it's own feature that should have been implemented in M14 so they could improve franchise mode current by bringing back some features from old-gen/other next gen maddens that had potential, but if course, the only way they can add stuff to the three main modes (Franchise, Superstar, Online Franchise) is by fusing them, and sacrificing features that some of us liked in order to put stuff in that (at least in my honest opinion) don't really outweigh the negatives, at all.

But you get the point.

you missed the point, they'll add them next year and tout them as new... thats the joke he was making. I have no doubt these features will be in next year after the response taking them out has gotten but it would be totally EA if they tried to tout them off as new features.
