That's just sad. I know you and I and many others have had that on the top of our wants for the past few years.

Looking like they'll finally have nickel corner on the depth chart (they have WR3 now). Hopefully under specialists they have all special teams.

Disappointed to not hear anything about practice squads

It is. I have about 5 plays a game where I end up not calling a play on defense due to switching out the guys I want in formations. A few delay of game penalties on offense are common too.

Sim a Win is the biggest addition on this list to me. Practice and scouting are also bullet points that I'm happy with. The lack of formation subs this far into the series is really annoying though.

Saw the full article with pictures and a couple thoughts:

#1 - Those rookie pictures need to go badly. They look horrible. Please do something else.

#2 - Draft process looks better. It's a bit too simple for me but they seem to have put everything together very streamlined. I think streamline was their #1 focus with everything. It all looks so simple. The True Talent aspect will be interesting.

#3 - I'm afraid to see how the new game prep/confidence system works. Could they have overcompensated and given the user too much control and made it too easy to improve players? I'm just not sure what to expect. Hoping it's balanced.

The combine is a huge part of the NFL Draft and the results of the players in each drill is a good indication of specific skills, or rating for those attributes in Madden terms. In an earlier post you mentioned that you disliked how this information was free for everyone, is the combine information not readily available for any team? This is a much more accurate representation than the new scouting system they put in and it is well overdue to return.

Here is my issue, Yes in real life , its free for every team. However unlike real life, your not taking a player with mediocre speed and just dominating in madden, Speed and strength are very important ( depending on position) they kill moreso in madden than in real life.Is a super fast guy in real life really good, yes, but its even more impactful in madden, always has been. Thus i dont care for it. At least the way it was in madden 15, guys had to spend some points to find out a letter grade, thus they couldnt use all their points on too many other things, because you can bet, they checked out a players speed, accel, and strength ( at certain positions) ,this limited how much more they could scout, thus gave greater opportunity to find a guy in the 4th or 5th round , that could come out as a really good player. I just feel, this is gonna take out some of that aspect and make it easier to figure out who is better and once again drafts will be mostly void of the best players after 2 rounds.

Just sad. And CFM has basically taken away every workaround. You cant switch controllers to a CPU team to assign their subs in game. You cant use two controllers to make the subs and then switch the second controller off (this freezes the game).

I dont get why this is so hard to add.

No formation subs. Clint just confirmed to me via Twitter.

I'm starting to think we'll never see formation subs again.
