Hopefully that the AI won't trade entire drafts for aging players?

Really just hope it is not these same PS2 looking preset faces again as the last decade for when creating draft classes/create a player. Hope this year they can add a face editor in the mode or do what EA college football does and use 16000+ faces they generate through AI to add to prospects. Dumb/dated drafting clones of players each draft class until your league is full of bad looking players that look 40+ especially with the new draft presentation...

There are way too many old head face scans in Madden. Even with veterans in the league, how many actually look like the guy in your post? Madden gotta fix that for sure

You mean like the Vikings did for Hershel Walker?

Or The Broncos did for Russell Wilson?

Or the Jets for Aaron Rodgers?

Like that?

Fake news, Armor. Russell Wilson is a Steeler..... Do you even watch football?

I hope there's some stuff that wasn't in the beta that's in the deep dive tomorrow. I know a lotta scenarios weren't in but maybe there's a few things that were hidden that'll be a nice surprise. I hope.

My fingers are crossed for pre game, half time, and post game commentary/shows!

Sim Stats! Passing yards to low. Just like last year

Super pumped for this tomorrow!!!!

Re: Franchise &amp; Presentation Deep Dive tomorrow at 10AM EST

To me in Franchise it's really about pumping the CPU logic. Better roster and salary cap management, more logical decisions in FA, a CPU making trades offer to the player and trading between CPU teams (for players and for draft picks), draft logic... For immersion that would make a huge difference.

Dynamic player progression would also make a difference. Not just +/- 2 for most players every years, but, like in the NFL, quick rises with players becoming a 90+ superstar in 3 years, and also big falls.

I'd also like to see more realistic stats in sim games, and more precisely, stats that can match what happens in games played.

That comes with more balanced CPU calls. It's frustating to be every year the best run defense and worst pass defense no matter what you build as a roster and no matter your record, just because the CPU gives up on carrying the rock every game.

But those are not flashy new features to present, just devs cooking in the shadow, so even if those things are better, I'm not sure it will be talked about tomorrow.

The beta was very disappointing for franchise. Some prettier menus was all I really saw.

Looking forward to the first glimpse of the 2nd and 3rd commentary teams, hoping they also have variations of the broadcast package
