Big let down.

I have been a Madden fan for years, and sadly haven't rented or played one since probably 09, so being the fan I was you could see my anticipation for playing this game since I had gotten my gamefly account. Sadly though, I was let down in every way.
Normally I would begin with the pro's of the game but in this case i don't feel like wasting the one sentence I would have to think 20 minutes to get. I remember a game where you could create characters and import them to your favorite team to play seasons with. When I heard you could create a whole team, i got all excited and put this game in my #1 slot in my GF Q. It wasn't till I recieved the game that I found out that there is no season mode anymore. They mixxed the franchise mode where you could only control your teams off field actions with season mode, and I still can not figure out how to get my toon onto my created team. I don;t know if they had just added so many options in the last few years that I missed a piece i needed or if you just can't. Either way, I am lost in this game and can not just set up a simple season to play and it is very aggravating. I must have spent at least 4 hours just trying to figure out what game modes are what and what you can do on each.
I have been playing this game for 2 days and about 12 hours and still have no idea how to get a created player on a team to play with for anything other than an exhibition game.
That being said, the gameplay is horrible. I would pull out the pocket as a QB and stand still and throw to a guy and not even throw anywhere near where he was standing. I broke a controller while playing this game cuz it was so random how your passes would play out.
When I rented this game I had the illusion that i could create a few players to represent me and my friends i play flag football with and have them on my team to do a few seasons with and collects some stats. Turns out that this is not applicable to this game.
