As someone who exclusively plays franchise mode, I would be upset about these developments if not for the facts that A) I haven't bought the game yet and now I feel even less pressure to do so, and B) it sounds like they canceled the plans so they could focus on the NCAA Football game that I'm way more interested in.

This is an important lesson that EA cannot be trusted to follow through on any post-release plans though, in case they try the same "live service improvements" play next year.
