Re: Madden NFL 16 CFM Impressions Part 2 - Scouting and Drafting (MyMaddenPad)
I don't think anything that makes you pick and choose who you scout is realistic. I understand it's a game and that there's supposed to be some kind of "risk/reward" in who you choose to scout. But like I said, it's a game and not real life where you have a pool of like 3000 guys you could possibly be scouting, there's maybe like 300.
With M15 though, I felt like I could make it more realistic by just scouting letter grades for attributes relevant to the position and getting a general overview of what the player was but still with some mystery surrounding them. And it feels like that's the direction they may have been trying to head but went way too far and then tried to make up for it with the "true value" which is my biggest issue.
I wouldn't mind the true value as much if that was the sole projection system and the CPU based their selections off of it rather than the arbitrary projections that now are pretty much completely meaningless. It just seems like, to me, you basically scout one attribute, know basically nothing about a player. Scout another attribute, know a tiny bit more about the player. Then scout the last attribute, and you still barely know anything about the player but you now know exactly where he falls in terms of the class without really knowing very much about him at all. The old system gave you the freedom to look for what you wanted and base your scouting off of that. Now it just seems like you're either playing a guessing game by scouting two attributes or knowing exactly what you're getting by scouting three which doesn't make any sense to me.
Obviously this is the way scouting is going to be for this year but I really hope it doesn't last like this for any longer. If they were going to tweak it, I'd either get rid of the ability to scout true value or get rid the actual projections altogether and make sure the CPU drafts more based on the true value than those projections like the User would. There is no such thing like a "Diamond in the Rough" player with this system. Hopefully this gets tweaked before release or they are able to maybe at least get the option to use last years scouting instead.
