Saw this on you tube (credit goes to OS)

"the career mode for the next ten years or so"
came up with ths idea a FOUR YEARS AGO and began working on it TWO YEARS AGO
"the career mode with the most depth on the market"... um... no.... NCAA and FIFA by a long shot!
"big focus is online; that's the future of sports games"

"WE FEEL LIKE IT'S THE NEW STANDARD FOR CAREER MODES GOING FORWARD IN ALL SPORTS GAMES"

I fear that NCAA 14 will also adopt this connected careers concept and personally that really sucks. Working on this for 2-4 years and decisions such as removing player editing, position changes, scheme philosophy, fantasy draft, custom playbooks, playing any game on the schedule, etc. so that social networking can be integrated into the game and then shared with the REAL world really sucks IMO.

Can't be any worse than the current issues in NCAA.

I really wish that the players/coaches you create don't retire if you choose to become someone else.
