I don't think it's a problem if there was a trade. However, if they've traded 4 of their 11 offensive starters, then that would be a big problem. I'm not saying that is the case, but with the way things looked it could be.

EA could stop all of this speculation if they would let us know what happened or put out another stream. Instead in typical fashion they just let it go unresolved for us to figure out ourselves. At least the EA Access guys should be able to let us know about this before the 26th.

I imagine it's next to impossible to program a realistic GM logic when you compare it to some of the actual moves in the NFL.

Ya but the bears have 2 amazing rookies that are gone in the game atleast not starting. EA should have man upped and showed the injury report. Ya but if to many trades are happening it could be over done. I just hope it doesn't turn into a fantasy draft with trades

Late to the party, but just watched the cover 1 drill. That double move really? WRs don't even get that much separation in the NFL let alone TEs being covered by Safeties. The way the player looks when he's "open" is just too exaggerated. Also that is a very poor way to show off the "revamped" coverage. If you are that safety in a cover 1 scenario the #1 biggest thing you wouldn't do is over react to an inside move because you have help there. not only does the player over react it's so over the top that the TE has over 5 yards of lateral separation. I hope that was on rookie because if not that looks like a classic $$ route.

I can t believe we are forced to go another year without any way to organized scouted players before the draft. How can this continue to be omitted? No big board, No war room draft board with stacked grades....

So scout players go to the draft and search through the phone book.

Yeah makes no sense, but they worked really hard on fake unis

So I have not played madden in a couple of years so I have a question regarding xp. They gave the example of having Manzeil getting experience while Hoyer gets the start this year. Is it possible to apply points and not get results? Or will it work that no matter who you apply points to you will get results. So basically you can make anyone a superstar as long as you apply enough points. Do we know this?

They basically confirmed this on the livestream
