Nope. Just stating my opinion.

Like I said play me in Madden 15 on Xbox One. We both can stream so everyone sees how we play our game. Would be entertaining for OS.

Remember discipline ratings in the old NCAA games?

Could that ever make a re-appearance in EA football? When you sign a questionable guy there's that risk he gets suspended or something like that? Maybe add ratings to coaches to signify how tight a ship they run

Or does the NFL not want that kind of thing in the game?

The combine is definitely a needed addition. As it is in M15 my league has to assign players for each team to scout which creates our own "combine" so we all have a fair way of seeing each players speed, agility, acceleration, strength, etc. Still gotta wait on how the system works but for an Online CFM guy it evens the playing field a little more especially since you can't just unlock as many skills as you want. Gotta spend your points wiser now. Might be good

You made no valid points - you made opinions and then talked down to others who oppose your opinions..simple as that..

I honestly don't even care about getting a full on sim game because I know even I would find it difficult lol (I'd still like the challenge). I simply want a game that looks like what I watch on Sundays.. and Thursdays... and Mondays....... I still play a game where you press a button and before your controlled player makes his move, the other players are reacting to it. I still play a game where I pick a play against a CPU and the CPU knows what play it is and chooses its play based off of yours. And if I audible then they change their play depending on what you audible to. I still play a game where even if i make 5 defenders play man to man against a WR, that WR can still get open within 5 seconds. I want a realistic game. Doesn't even have to be sim. As of now it's not even close to realistic

^^^^ Here is his start, and yes, after about 3.5 seconds, that WR will be open...Any receiver with 5 seconds to get open, will get open; come back when you know football...

Either way I think that kind of thing could be added to help temper confidence loss/gain and make players feel a little more unique in that regard. Cool headed QB who doesn't get shaken as much from throwing a couple of picks, especially if the result of the game is a win.

Someone w/ poor discipline could be much more of a boom/bust-style player.

To be fair I believe Madden 16 is not going to have a milestone tracker, its a dynamic goal tracker. Which means they will tell you each drive to do something. One drive it will say "get your QB's confidence back up. Complete 3 consecutive passes." To be fair I don't think I've ever seen that before during an NFL broadcast. Sorry to direct this at you but I'm tired of seeing people defend these mediocre "improvements." I just don't understand why people think this is a good thing to have during a live game. Maybe outside of the game and in the goals section in CFM. But to not have an actual score ticker really irritates me.

I think Madden wants to force is to think like coaches with this system. A lot of the goals are drive specific or game specific but they also track them over multiple games. And if a running back is hot you want keep him going. Like Murray. And those goals reflect that. Its not true to what you see on tv and I would MUCH rather have an actual score ticket as well But I'm trying to work with what we've been given.

I'm not trying to defend them, just stay optimistic.

I said with 5 people playing man on that WR. Even Calvin has trouble against double coverage. Just saying bro. Not gonna argue anymore have a good night. If you still want to play me and stream for OS let me know though.

Well it should be 3 ratings plus the combine figures. Common sense should tell us that the attributes related to combine numbers should not be one of the 3 you unlock, but I would not be surprised. If done right then the 3 should be from the pool of intangible attributes.

From what I hear I don't like this new scouting system. I think I prefer the old one with my house rules
