At least it's not just me thinking this, What made Madden so great was it's career mode and then the franchise, they went away from that and spent just about all of their time on the MUT stuff where they can get you to use a credit card to make "in game purchases" unless you lived on the game to earn what you need. We are seeing SDS take The Show there, making the stupid change from attributes that advanced your player up the levels based on how well you played. Now we get these "arc's" that upgrade your player capping your max stats at 50. No longer does playing well move your player up the roster but how much your willing to spend on the arc's minus the main one. My advice which I know they don't really care is to dump the arc's next year and go back to playing the game ups your attributes. Go back to choosing from minute 1 if you want to pitch, play in the field or both. If we can choose from 8 different positions we should be able to choose whether we want to do both or not from the very start.CLEARLY we all like the game or we wouldn't bother sharing our thoughts, the issue is does SDS care enough about the players?

The type of option I'd rather see is something you have that you can decline before you start. We get to choose 8 different positions but no choice to turn down pitching other than declining it when you talk to the coach. That's not the case with the 2 way player until you start your career. The other problem at least I'm having is I was switched to a RF, same hitting arc, another bad idea, as a 1st baseman and never switched back. I'm a worse fielder on the team than the regular 1 and better fielder at 1st then the other but the game stuck me in RF and after another full season, 2nd, I'm still there. Seems more time is being spent on DD in my opinion and less each year on what made this game so great.

Instead of forcing the "2 way" player at the very beginning of your career, it should be an option. Either position, pitcher or both and then you should be able to choose then if you prefer pitching more that fielding or vice versa. I usually have a separate fielding career and pitcher but when I try and do that this year all it does is change the already created player. Capping stats at 50 is maddening too. While the other game options seem to be really good, the RTTS seems all mixed up.

I'm so sick of this fielding/base running camera garbage I stopped playing the game. Got my hitting view set and my pitchers view too but the fielding and running [censored] is so screwed up. Yeah, woohoo we now get instant perks with players but leave the camera [censored] back to where it was last year.

I'm going thru it now, in June my training stopped and hasn't continued even after 3 weeks as a starting pitcher. I have a carry over from 19 as a RF and the SP is a new one and it's happened on both.

That's exactly what it is, you have to use the new pitch to get the KO's. It has said it in every message since adding or changing to new pitches.
