So to all those that complain about the 1 year dev cycle.... watch it. CC is more like 2-4 year dev cycle at this point.

I think it looks awesome. No fantasy draft made me a little disappointed, but not too much. As far as not being able to edit players, I hardly ever do that anyways so that doesn't effect me at all.

This interview was solid and I think I will have the most fun and will play my franchise deeper in Madden 13 than I have ever before. Pretty pumped.

So they aren't going to update it for another 2-4 years?

Updating and building from scratch are 2 totally different things....

It will be updated yearly.. it took that long to build the base for the game.

Really looking forward to this but think the only thing I learned from it was how long they've been working on it, your connected career/league can post to it's own Twitter account/share to Facebook.

The player ratings they showed are interesting, although who knows if they are the finished product. Interesting in that Brady was only a 90 OVR and Sanchez/Tebow were both 73 OVR.

Last year Brady was a 99 OVR, Sanchez an 83 OVR and Tebow was a 77 OVR.

These could be unfinished placeholder ratings, but if not, perhaps they finally stretched the ratings out.

As an offline Madden player this video was just rubbing it in our face how offline gamers are getting the shaft. Looman says that we were limited in how we could create a player. How? We could create ENTIRE classic teams and use them for a 30 year franchise. Now we can use ONE legend...hooray! Saying that we can play with Tim Tebow..what is so great about that? I could control the Jets last year and control anyone I wanted. Now we can play online with our buddies who live in LA...thats great what if my buddies live in the same house and we have one system???? Do we have to make new friends across the country? I am sorry but this mode just ruins Madden for me....

oh and the no editing thing. Look at number 9 on the Cardinals. He has a normal facemask with a revo speed helmet. I know to some guys that isnt important but to many of us it is. I can just see the rookies now..kickers with visors, quarterbacks with lineman facemasks and everyone with dreads.
