I can't stand connected careers...I just want my Franchise back.

Franchise is still there in the form of CC Coach. I've been playing that and it's pretty much the same as before with minor differences.

One game I was playing as the Chargers facing the Eagles, on THREE SEPARATE occasions, my ball carrier would run with the ball, get hit, fumble and get injured. Mind you these were three separate players. It really pissed me off as I lost all three of fumbles and lost. So I ended up losing Mathews, Floyd, and Gates by 3rd quarter.

I'm on season 3 right now and Jacoby Ford hasn't been injured for maybe 2 games total. He broke his collarbone on the opening kickoff of the first game of season 1...he 'd be out for 6 or 8 weeks and come back from the injury and then get injured again (same injury) within 5 plays. And this has gone on for all 3 seasons. If he's been on the field for 20 plays total in the 3 seasons that's a lot. (and the sad part is his contract will be up and he want's me to negotiate a new deal)

I do not like the cc at all. I miss doing a 2 player franchise with a buddy on the same xbox (not online) in the same division. It was always fun trying to win the division.

I don't mind the coach CC because it is like the Franchise mode I would normally play. I always ended up playing the game by myself off line. I tried playing on-line once with of the last 3 years...And each time the person I was playing against was losing with under a minute to play and "lost their connection" So until they change where people can quit a game when they are losing or award the peoron who was winning the game their victory I'm not even going to bother wasting my time online.

I can't adjust Franchise options like ticket prices, arenas, uniforms, I can't edit players AT ALL or change the names of rookies, I can't modify the players' numbers or positions, can't change defensive schemes, and it just overall feels like a dumbed down version of a career so next year they can come back and say 'New and improved Franchise mode!' just to pretend they've done something, when really they just took three steps back and one forward. |

Well, I hardly ever adjusted the ticket/food/merchandise prices. But I did like to do stadium upgrades. As for editing I never changed names or ratings so that's not a bother either...but I will say it does suck that you can't edit a player's jersey number. As for their posititions (changes) it still does what I'd want it to do. I can still line up RB's as recievers
TE's as FB's & Vise versa
O-line can play any O-line position
D-line can play any D-line or LB spot
Lb's can play all LB spots
DB & safties can play all DB/safty spots.
Is the coach CC as in depth as past franchise modes? No, but it's still 100 X's better than the Player CC mode.

We shouldn't settle for 'just good enough'. I used to enjoy doing stuff like picking a struggling team up and moving them to another city, with new logos and a new name, etc...assigning my offensive and defensive captains, importing NCAA draft classes, or using created players and playbooks in Franchise.
This doesn't even let me use the downloaded roster updates in CC mode, I'm still stuck with the ones that came stock on the disc.

I was able to start a new cc with the updated roster. But like I said above other than stadium upgrades and simple roster moves like selecting captains or signing/resigning players I didn't use half the old features. I never imported a draft, because I don't play the NCAA titles. Financially my teams are always all-madden franchises when the seasons are over. Just give me my Raiders and I just play the franchise mode until the new game comes out out or I get board. (then I go back to playing Red Dead Redemption) although sometimes I did like to use multiple teams in franchise modes.
So with the exception of naming captains everything I did in franchise mode is there.

In my ultimate team what happens when a contract expires? Do I keep the card or does it disappear?

Online fantasy drafts return tomorrow.
I find it funny that the one thing that EA swore up and down that they absolutely would not include is the one thing they're patching in.
Seems like one giant publicity stunt to me. Everyone was so sure they weren't getting fantasy drafts, so now they're in, and EA looks like big heroes.
Great news for those that use them. I'm still waiting for basic functionality to be patched in so that my copy can stop collecting dust.

After many delays I finally picked this game up a couple days ago....
-Connected Careers isnt as bad as I thought it would be however, its still not "Franchise mode". I want to be able to edit players/attires and also freaking create myself to play on my team and not actually have to play with him every play.
-Its very annoying and frustrating that I can jump out to a 21 point lead right away in the first quarter and then barely win 28-24. It's nearly impossible to stop "Elite" QBs on the game.
-I really enjoy the infinity engine and the "no play is ever the same". It gives it a realistic feel to the game.
-The players tripping over each other are quite annoying and over the top. If your HB is running through a hole and trips over his OG...Thats fine but after the play where people are just dropping like there's a sniper in the press box....very annoying.
-Also the uniforms are kinda bugging me. Niners are TOTALLY off. The gold colors are wrong, the stripes on the pants arent right and I dont understand why they have 2012 Nike jerseys as well as the 2011 jerseys which for most teams are the same.

Question. How is the create-a-player? Does it allow you to customize faces or do you still have to choose between a set number of default faces?

There's a set list of 20 something faces, or you can download your gameface. The one I've had to settle for looks nothing like me, yet in EA's FIFA series the level of face customisation is up there with WWE games. You'd think that could be implemented easily. |

The minimal attention that EA pays to Madden games as opposed to their other sports franchises is sickening. There's no competition, they couldn't care less whether they put out a gem or a steaming pile of garbage. I would imagine that's part of the reason you see limited to no customization options. |
