While I'm bummed for those who loved to have real draft classes I don't mind that. IF they really fixed the draftees attributes and made realistic classes. I don't watch college football so I wouldn't know one name from the other anyway.

Pleased to hear about game prep. Looking forward to seeing more about that. Glad I can finally use a player in a skill drill and improve that skill/get experience points and buy the rating or however it works. I want to see the options and if going for long term develop or short term stat boost becomes a real strategic element. CFM needed something in between just playing the games. Hopefully this is similar to FIFA's form rating.

Thank you based god that they improved free agency. Last years was horrible. Going through the menu was a pain but there was absolutely no logic to what was going on. You just bid on a player. Advance the week. Sometimes on the final week advancement you wouldn't even know if you actually signed the player or not until you went to the depth chart. So hopefully they improved the UI along with the added depth to free agent decisions.

Having players be aware of who is on your roster before they sign is a step toward adding player roles in contracts. There must be some logic behind what role a player expects to have on a team if he looks at the starter and decides he won't get PT so he wont sign there. What about if you want to do something like have multiple starting caliber defensive lineman but rotate them. Will there be an issue of not being able to sign a LE because you already have a good LE? Looking forward to seeing how this all plays out.

They finally added the ability to advance more than a week at a time. Small but big.

Also relieved to hear that there will be screens where you can view a players progression/regression so you don't have to have players stats memorized. I'll take the added convenience to make me going into depth a little easier.

Weekly goals change every week. Maybe I'll actually pay attention to them now? We'll see.

They updated the OVRs so they dont change from menu to in game. Welcome fix.

Excited to get my hands on it.

I think that is where the legal issues come in with them admitting they want to use college player likenesses in Madden.

Wait until you play CFM and get to the preseason cut period and the game basically forces you to cut certain players in order to meet the position requirements.

The two QBs going down is part of the risk of opting to carry an extra WR or CB. I like my games to have choices and risks involved.

I don't think lawyers have anything at all to do with editing current players. Creating drafts maybe, but not editing current players. If I'm wrong, then explain to me what the lawyers have to do with editing Clay Mathews attributes/ratings inside CFM.

You can't edit draft classes in madden because of the same reason you can't do it on NBA2k.

Some people are never happy. The news sounds good.
