Pitches let you know how to improve them. Mystery of why certain grades are a certain way are gone. Know how to improve them.
Playing Style is a new pitch.
If you run the ball with a QB the lot..it helps bring in scrambling QB’s

Playing time pitch evaluates starters that are there, entire depth chart at the positon as well as the current commits you have.

If prospect is in town..you automatically have the proximity to home grade as A+

Championship Contender pitch takes into account all polls and the roster caliber for next 4 years
What prospects you sign could help bring in other recruits. “Recruiting momentum” for lack of a better term(my words not theirs)
Pro Potential Pitch

Athletes show everything ratings wise once scouted
Athletes “skilled” at up to 2-3 positions
Scouting busts are kids who are 6 pts or lower once scouted all the way
Once scouted kids can be "gems" where they go up ratings wise over what they were originally ranked as letter grade wise(In the video they showed a 67ovr three-star tackle went up to a 78ovr after scouting.)

Triple Threat athletes can play on either side of ball at times.

I'm guessing the screen that shows you were your players were drafted is skipped should you export your players to Madden. Either that or the game will have an alternate draft from the same players being exported.

No custom conferences is so lame. Seriously would add a whole new element to the game's long term value..

They need to add a bunch of playoff options too (4, 8, 16 team options).. or allow you to go back to the old bowl system (which really only applies to like JeremyHight)..

Neither will happen - but they should.
