You won't be able to import draft classes from NCAA this year.

I don't like that you can just assign it to anyone on the team that you want. It doesn't make sense to be able to have a huge passing game and then use that XP to boost a d-lineman or something like that.

At least it won't be too easy to upgrade the points.

"It is extremely difficult to improve on ratings. There was one point I tried to bump shaun rodgers BSH from 93 to 94 and it was 49K plus points. It would take me almost half of a season to upgrade that attribute."

Awesome job, EA...you can't fix the feature to save your fucking life, so just remove it and deprive us.

It'll be back in 2015 as a brand-new feature.

progression is truly earned. There are a lot of factors that go into HOW much points a player gets, there are new ratings in madden that dictate how many points is received on age, production, skill, intangibles, athleticism. Victor Cruz can now jump from 55 ovr to 95 in a year, if he has a baller year.

I love that gif. Great show.

I don't mind this idea. Way I see it, there are a good amount of players that come out of nowhere (Victor Cruz is a good example) where they start the season rated horribly and a huge year gives them a huge boost. Then let's say Victor Cruz has a big slumping second season, that would bump him down maybe in the 70's somewhere. I think it would be a good idea if for young players their ratings average out how they do in their first 3-4 seasons before their ratings start to stick closer and closer each following season.

Good info in that thread taters posted

NO MORE POTENTIAL.


It's all about a few key ratings.

Production - what they did in college.
Size - Player size for their position.
Scheme - what type of offense/defense they fit into
Skills - their skill set they enter the league with


As they get playing time and practice time, they gain points. The commish can choose for player upgrades weekly, quarterly, or yearly.

I saw somewhere that the legend you can pick to use for a connected career was also tied to where you pre-order from... Does that mean that those other guys are going to be totally unavailable to use if you didn't get the game from GameStop or whatever? Or will they be a DLC option?

I saw that one retailer had LT and the other had Barry Sanders and I'd kind of like to try it with both of them eventually I would imagine.

I'd imagine it's going to be like most pre-order "Exclusives". Give it a few months after the games dropped and all the other players/coaches will be available to buy.

From the link I posted, draft prospects can get injured.

"In season 1, the #1 LB tore his ACL at the combine. I put all my time into scouting him and he fucked me!"

Because of this mode, you can no longer import draft classes.

I know, I know. I'll be the bad guy and break it to everyone.

Guess it is true but I kind of see why you cant with all the dynamics going into the shit.
