Everything that people have said have happened in previous blogs/threads. There isn't anything really new, at least in regards to custom playbooks anyway.

Be that as it may, there's 5-6 threads on CC on the first page alone and all but one are 9+ pages of people saying the exact same thing.

Now I know CC > All this year and custom playbooks were announced a while ago, but what I'm saying is EA seemed to put a lot of dev time into online/web integration and this thread is public library quiet.

Exactly! I'd like for them to had worked on medical redshirts, high school all star game, spring drills........................you know, things that have to do with football. You can't charge for that though so we'll have to wait for another year to see that stuff. **sigh**

I don't know that I agree about the lack of comments. Many of the comments in the CC threads are about how it wasn't implemented properly or how much assistant coaches should impact this or that. The web improvements blog was succinct and explained things well. The custom playbooks have been talked about ad nauseum, so I wouldn't expect to see many comments for a blog that just clarifies that which had already been stated. It wasn't a bad blog. There just wasn't a lot of new info.

For those that play online dynasties almost exclusively, the web improvements are a welcomed edition. Now if the significant other is hogging the tv I can whip out the laptop and play my game versus the CPU. The only down side is the inability to use custom playbooks.

I really never got into online dynasties - Most of them crumbled before the end of first season; however the online capabilities has got my interest. I think this is really awesome to have because not every time do I want to play a game or boot up my console.. Now I just boot this up with my laptop and can almost use it as a text based sim which I enjoy (is this a move by EA to move towards text based sims for the future?) . And hopefully the stats on the web app are exportable, which can really make it really easy to setup some really nice/dynamic League Websites and show a history.

For a user that never got online that much especially in Dynasties , I'm really liking the ability for the CC in online dynasties combined with the online capabilities! This game is really taking a good turn with features that intrigues me... With some gameplay tweaks, this game could be special. I thought I was going to take a break for a year and just get madden (after a 2 year break).. Don't think that will be the case afterall

I really like the features, but paying for them is unacceptable. I'm already paying $60+ for the game.

Wow!!! The Super-Sim feature for online dynasty is way cooler than I expected. Originally, I never thought I would use it at all. However, after reading more about it, I think I'll have an online dynasty by myself just for super-simming. Of course, I can always play games if I feel the need to. My work days will now be filled full of calling plays & recruiting instead of posting on OS & Twitter all day. Very cool & quite innovative. I'm hoping Madden has this, as well.

I'm really (hopefully) looking forward to joining a Online Dynasty as a OC with my custom playbook. If I could get in an entire league where every guy starts off as a OC or HC with his own custom playbook, it'll bring a lot more originality and depth, and overall fun, to the game.

Two question for everyone who says that paying for the extra online capabilities is unacceptable. Would you rather it not be an option? I know most will say no I just want it to be free. That brings me to the 2nd question. Why do you deserve more product for the same amount of money?

We as consumers are getting out of line. You would never do more work and accept the same pay.

This wasn't really anything anyone needed to comment on, honestly. We've already known most of the stuff explained in the blogs, so it's basically a re-affirmation of sorts. At this point I think most of us (Who've seen these CC/Online Dynasty updates) are waiting for E3, since we'll see gameplay, which is the dealbreaker for most.

Also, judging by last year's time frame, we should have the demo in 2 1/2 weeks. So yeah I'd think most of us are waiting for gameplay at this point, since we already know that it's either a midnight/first day purchase, or a wait-and-see.
