As an update to this issue, it looks like ratings editing is possible at least in offline franchise but I would assume also online franchise. The attached image shows options for setting up a dynasty. One of the options is "Player edit permission" which is set on Commissioner only but presumably "everyone has permission" is also an option. If you look in the top right at the clarification text, it says "This setting controls whether or not a league member can edit player ratings on their team. Regardless of this setting, only the commissioner can edit ratings on other teams."
This is great news for everyone, but especially solo players. The only bummer is if you are playing with a trusted group of friends you can't open up ratings editing for all teams for them as well. It should be noted that this was in an offline dynasty, so it is unknown to me yet if this option is the same in online dynasty. Would be kind of a bummer if it's only in offline dynasty, and if Teambuilder teams end up being available only for online dynasty, but we'll have to wait and see. It should also be noted that the explanatory text for a similar option in Madden (second attached image) is different not a copy and paste and is referring to X Factor abilities which this game doesn't have, so it at least seems that player rating editing is available in some capacity.
So it would seem that either the videos we saw were indeed an early build that just didn't have the feature yet and it was planned all along, or they heard our complaints and added it. Next on the docket is news on numbering...
We shall see they broke me when they didn't release for PC. I hope they don't fumble this.
- DANGERGOOSE11 year agoSeasoned Ace@antpboy12 Yeah, best to keep wary for new info still and wait for actual release. I've seen conflicting reports from streamers answering questions on this in the last couple hours. But if it turns out we cannot edit ratings after seeing that image that says commissioners can enable it, then I expect a lot of pushback on this from the community, and EA would need to enable it not only to save face but also to even get a purchase from people like me.

@DANGERGOOSE1 maybe streamers were told to be quiet about it until release since it's a sensitive subject.
@AskBrad looks like we can and were misinformed 😏

- DANGERGOOSE11 year agoSeasoned Ace@JustZack76 Idk another forum I'm on one of the users directly asked the guy who was streaming if he could and he said no and that EA told him that it was done for "realism." I wonder if the streamer was blowing smoke there as that screenshot that shows commissioner option has appeared from at least 2 other streams so it is not altered. I just don't know what to think at this point.
