Were you a video game programmer I'm sure your opinion might be different. One of the main issues, to me at least, is the amount of people who are assuming how hard or easy it is to program something.

I have a question.

Since Madden 07, I have started my Lions franchise (primarily because the team had no talent) with four young created players. Is this no longer possible? I think I could definitely create one of them and then change to the coach.

Over the 30+ years, I've Designed and programmed things FAR more complex than editing a Roster. The really difficult part of Video Sports games is the real time gameplay and stats balancing.

They aren't the same thing. I get what you are saying, really I do. But if the mechanic isn't there, there is nothing to make an option for. It's like having a light switch on the wall but no light connected to it or wiring going from the breaker box to the lightswitch. Sorry but that is about the clearest analogy I can give. Just because there is a switch doesn't mean there is anything to connect it to (I doubt there is in cmm).

And what we are saying is, the wiring to connect the edit screen to CC should not be that difficult to set up. The screen itself and the IO to the file, which is already in place, is the time consumer.

Let's face it, people are just arguing that it should've been designed around features that we previously had and you're just repeating that they didn't have time (in a nutshell)

One side of this issue is unhappy it's designed poorley and the other side is happy with the design even though its done without thought of designing around the features that we had.... its pretty simple.

Really? Your right we can't upload it into a Franchise but there is a way around it, and this involves not going into CC. As long as we have the option to cut players from their teams and moving them to different teams to make the fantasy teams in the Main Menu people can always make fantasy teams. Afterwards, head into "Play Now" and you have worked around having No Fantasy Draft.

A lot of people in this thread seem to be complaining just to complain.

Are you serious??????

So we are suppose to bring pen and paper to keep track of stats and get what we always pay for which is season presentation and stats along with post season.

Come on now, that is a weak response to my complaint.
