I'm sure you are aware of the developers bringing up about priorities, timing and resources too.

Peter Moore stated today it was the greatest improvements to franchise mode in 4 years, and technically, he could be correct in that statement. There will be some people that will agree with him, some people that will feel it's somewhere in the middle(me) and some people will completely disagree with that statement.

One person's junk is another person's art.

Not everyone will be happy with all the improvments Madden has made on paper, including gameplay. I'm not a user of roster editing and I'm not sure yet on Big Decisions, but I know full customization has been the #1 request to put back in from their customer base.

If everything works out in late August with game play, presentation and CFM as it appears now, we could have a darn good NFL video football game.

At least this shows us the developers have been listening and communicating to their customers, even though some of the customers don't have what they personally want.

Where the heck is the upgrade to the challenge system? Time to start another drumbeat like I did for DPI.

It's definitely the greatest improvement in their last 4 years but sadly that's only because they have done a whole lot of nothing in that time frame.

I wouldn't say "nothing" but you're about half correct in that statement. Still, they haven't deceived us or anything and have delivered on what they promised.

If there is still no create a draft class or even the ability to change drafted players names than once again probably a no buy 4 get again.

You can change drafted players names, ratings, appearance, contract etc

Will the CPU use the big decision system as well?

That's a great question. I hope they do.

The entire feature is based around bringing things that already existed more into the user's view and assisting the user in those decisions, so I don't think the AI would be all that affected by it - it's still going to do whatever it sees as best for its team. The only functionally "new" things might be setting a season goal and the choice of whether to play an injured player - two choices we didn't have last year.
