This will never be fixed, in my opinion.. At least not completely.
I don't really care, because I control every team in franchise mode, which is the way I prefer it. Which brings me to my next queston, Adem - The option to control EVERY team in franchise mode, is still there, right?
Yes.
And the drafts I went through looked okay. I only did about 3, but it didn't take that many to notice the problems the last few years. The guy doing the logic this year is the same guy who made the NFL Head Coach 09 draft. It's not going to be that good because some very key aspects of NFL Head Coach 09 are missing, but many of the issues that caused that horrible draft logic are gone.
The main problems with the draft weren't the draft logic itself, but the things that lead into the draft. Teams letting go of pro-bowlers to make room for backup punters. Also, their reactionary position in free agency. I'm finishing up an extensive document covering what I saw on CD and in M09 that'll go to Josh Looman as soon as I'm finished with it.
I'll be blunt, I wasn't overwhelmed by franchise mode. There were some major upgrades, but they were placeholders when we were there and we never got much of a taste of them. It was the familiar Madden franchise mode, except that it worked. There are definitely some upgrades, don't get me wrong, but I was hoping for them to strip out a good deal of NFL head coach and port it over. That, regrettably, wasn't feasible due to time constraints (they decided, imho rightfully, that the game on the field needed to be the priority). Also, I've changed my mind about online franchise- I do think it'll be in the game, though I have no confirmation of that- and I don't think they wanted to work with something as complex as NFL HC09 for its first year. Too much could go wrong, I guess.
