Yeah, some of the stuff I could get over, but not being able to edit anything at all is a huge negative for me. I don't play online. I play 100% offline. Losing everything that was chopped out for CCM, it completely kills my experience with Madden. I still have never played Madden 12, and only owned Madden 11 for 3 days (to achievement whore it), so losing everything that got chopped out in Madden 13, there's no reason for me to buy it.

It saddens me because NCAA and Madden were guaranteed buys every single year. But I need the immersion factor of Dynasty/Franchise for NCAA and Madden, I can't just simply play online or Play Now games. But while Dynasty in NCAA usually continues to get regular additions and updates, offline Franchise in Madden just continues to get fucked over, either by getting completely skipped in favor of the online players, or in the case of this year, CCM, which is great for, again, online players, but does nothing but destroy things that were great in the past for offline franchise players.
