Why can't we utilize the xp sliders in offline franchise mode?

* like this is why I took a 3 year hiatus from madden. This was a terrible disservice and a very self centered non-customer service oriented move. I stopped playing the game after I realized I got hosed (it's such a slow broken progression system in offline that it never should have made it to the final release) and won't be taken care of unless I pay more.

Would you like to buy my game back EA? I'll gladly use the money to 17 otherwise you guys can go pound sand.
