So basically you can make anyone a superstar as long as you apply enough points. Do we know this?

Basically, but you'll be spending a lot of time on that one player. By the looks of it you can get xp for only 1 or 2 players per week.

But if a players develop rating is low and you do crappy on the drill it'll take a long time to build up a player, and if you ignore the rest of your team you're screwed.

It's actually a pretty balanced system.

As it stands although the UI is fluid when you are on the clock you waste value seconds going from screen to screen. And if you didn't see that the guy you wanted to select was already taken you could waste 30 seconds trying to find them when they aren't there. A big board in game would make this easier.

THIS is MY issue, every year you see the real NFL teams jockeying their picks sometimes only one or two spots up OR down to take the player they want. We saw it happen again this year.

What EA needs to do is place every teams biggest needs right there on the screen, or have "Inside Information" from sources within your team telling you who the next team "MIGHT" take. Very much like in real life.
That would make taking your guy at the correct time much more life like.

I really don't like having the number one overall pick, liking a guy expected to go 1round 29th pick, moving down to the 10th pick to take him, and he was already taken at #3 overall!!!
If he was a top 5 pick or even top 10 pick, why did the game rate him at the bottom of the first round? Knowing he was more valuable than that to other A.I teams?

I think EA bases the draft off of the media's interpretation of the draft. Where they honestly thought Johnny Football should possibly even be a consideration for Texas at #1.
Which most people knew was unrealistic.

Can anyone tell me if QB's will scramble when I'm using coach mode? Also will I have to do kicks/punts myself?

I believe it skips 4th down now when you play as a player
