Sound Off: Has the 'Closed' Nature of Connected Careers Turned You Away?

I so wish there was a dislike button.

Everybody has their own deal-breakers which is understandable. I think this new mode CAN win many people over IF there are no bugs. And that's a big IF.

The people who are excited about the new direction and features are operating under the assumption that it will work correctly. But when has Madden ever had a bug-free franchise mode? Within the last few years alone (just to name a few examples), we've had skewed season stats, and last year, the UFA bug was a huge pain. These are big deals to the offline sim junkie.

But at least before, there was always some workaround based on the open nature of the mode. Now if there's bugs that break the immersion, there's nothing we can do.

I simply have to wait until I hear the reviews from the offline sim junkies. If it's got issues, I can simply move on without having wasted $60.

Too be honest, I really don't see what's great about CC.

Maybe I'll play more than a half a season and the game becomes more than a coaster.

I'll judge it when I get time with it, not more than 2 months before the game comes out.

I'm not saying it's bad, I'm just saying I don't necessarily agree with the some of the people who are saying it's "it's definitely the deepest franchise mode yet" or "CC is gonna be epic".

That's all.

I'm glad that Josh is at least responding to fans, albeit with generic answers. I just can't wrap my head around the idea that changing a player's number so my 3rd string scrub QB isn't wearing #16 on SF or #4 on GB will somehow break the mode. Really. A jersey change. That's a bit extreme. I know, I ask for too much.

Beyond that, I am genuinely excited about CCM's longevity.

I agree they shouldn't be judging, either, until it's in their hands.

The point being each person has their own idea of what's important and removing the choice to play their game their way is bad business

I agree. I hate when I see people say nonsense like that about people using the edits to cheese. Only kids get a kick out of that. I'm a grown *** man and I can tell most of the posters on here who are upset don't do it to cheese the AI. They try to make the game as real as they can for there personal use.. I hate seeing certain stuff happen with the ratings along with some of the horrible equipment on some of the players. I spend days doing the ratings of all the players in the league in the offseason and I'm going through that process as we speak trying to crank up my year 4 franchise. There's nothing cheesy about my style of play and how I like to do things with my franchise. I do stuff to get the maximum challenge I can get from the AI. Anybody who pays attention to the way I create my sliders know that. I guarantee my franchise is way more of a challenge then the guys who let the AI teams run there franchises into the ground with those crap UDFAs and stuff.
