I hear you, but I just don't get how that was implemented in Play Now and not in the CCM? I don't know, Madden approach is mind boggling this year.

Play now doesn't include schemes and story lines and news feeds and twitter feeds. So much integration is going on that changing one thing could cause something else to break. Fantasy draft was easier because draft was already in CCM and all you had to do was change the draft class to EVERYONE and allowed 48 rounds to ensue. Editing was never in CCM so it's gonna take some heavy testing.

ccm is an all new mode. It's not franchise. So is the twitter thing. They added a bunch of new stuff but took out something that was the foundation of Madden. The ability to edit who you want, put who you want on wherever you want. The thing about Madden is it was popular due to the user customization. Now we don't have that.

Based on this logic, it's like taking away the gravy from the mashed potatoes at the Thanksgiving table and putting peanut butter on it saying it's something new and we just didn't have time to fix up the gravy. Maybe next year.

It just doesn't work out that way.

To the 30 & over crowd of which I am a member I say this : WE ARE ANALOG DInOSAUrs LIVING IN A DIGiTAL AGE!!! Online gaming is the present and the future an ironically is exactly the kind of stuff we (well me anyway) wanted as kids... So I'm happy that all the online guys got what they begged for (just remember that fantasy draft isn't an add-on, it's a feature that was removed for no apparent reason and than miraculously put back after enough people pissed an moaned and threatened Ea with abandonment) I myself never used it that much over the years cause I didn't like hearing the commentators talking about what a player did the year before on a different team as if he's still on that team... So speaking as an old fart who plays almost exclusively offline out of comfortable habit I ask EA not to forget about us dinosaurs an don't force us to play online with people who pass every down, run no huddles, go for it on 4th & forever, never punt, an use "schemes" all for the pleasure of saying how good their ranking is (I went off the deep end, I apologize, rant over)

If they add in the ability to edit players before they add in the ability to adjust your gameplan, run/pass etc each week then I will be severely disappointed.

No controller select menu in CCM, no co-op still - no ability to play this game with my friends sat next to me?

I'm happy for the Fantasy Draft folk, but seriously upset that I still can't play a team sport with teammates.

Wow. So online fantasy draft was the big announcement?? Great, something I don't care anything about.

I've only done a fantasy draft in Madden maybe twice in the 20 years I've been playing the game. That said, it's a good sign that they listened to a complaint from the customer base and got it incorporated in about two weeks after launch. So while this announcement doesn't really do much for me, I have no complaints.

I don't foresee player editing, beyond maybe equipment and jersey numbers, happening for online CCM... I just think there are too many potential pitfalls with getting 32 rosters synched up after everybody does their own edits on their own consoles... not to mention mickey mouse crap like beefing up attributes and a signing contract for your RG only to then swap him over to LT. Although I do think they could possibly turn offline CCM back into a big sandbox with full editing... but with everything else that needs attention in offline, I don't think that happens this year either... but I'd be happy with equipment, numbers AND position editing for offline.
