Are you serious? They screwed that up with this year's draft classes? I haven't tried CFM yet, so I don't know, but that would suck. I have to see that for myself, I think. lol

I don't remember seeing that in M25 draft classes.. sigh.

Can you not edit the hair style in the edit player in the off season?

I don't remember seeing it. But it might be there. I edited all my rookies to make sure skin color matched pic and their equipment. I don't remember if there was any other options though honestly. That was a few days ago.

And you can't make the pads any smaller. Because NCAA Football did not make a game this year (or for the foreseeable future...) this is the first Madden I've played in 5 years so I don't know if this is a problem they've had for awhile now. I'm not going to say it's ruined franchise mode but it's the #1 problem by far for me. In a game that has pride itself on increased realism, they truly dropped the ball here.

I have more than enough scouting points to fill my draft board, you just need to spend your points wisely and buy the double points scouting upgrade for your coach. I have yet to have a draft class with anything close to 80% of the players having dreads. This years draft classes are better than anything they have had for the past 5 years.

In no way defending EA but this is one of those things that a lot of people complained about in the past, not enough guys with dreads. From what I have seen among numerous draft classes (over 35) it isn't as bad as he makes it out to be and it really depends on the draft class. I have had some where the top 5 CB's all had them, I have had some where only 1 or 2 total CB's had them. Other positions are the same.

that's not true, every draft class has too many dreads. I don't care if they fixed it, they put too many. not enough one year and too many this year why can't they ever get anything right

Yeah just simmed to the draft and every black player I drafted had dreads. Went through three other teams rookies and they ALL had dreads.

Also, couldn't we edit equipment on players not on user controlled teams last year? Am I missing something? I would like to vary the helmets of the players at the very least. They all wear the same helmet. And some of the linemen wear some odd accessories.
