Yes that should be the case but obviously isn't at this time.

Because this thread is about freaks and studs being found in the draft, not issues/complaints you may have about the draft classes.

I started a franchise with Miami as an owner so I could move the team to Toronto (don't ask me why). Off-season I traded Tanehill for almost nothing. Looking for a QB I signed Ryan Fitzpatrick. Also had the 5th overall pick. I like to have a QB who can run and most of the guys were pocket passers, but there was a guy who it said was a third round talent, but I noticed he had great combine numbers, even for a balanced QB. Traded down to 24 and got him. He ended up being like a 79 speed which is pretty good and a 76 overall. Possibly my QB of the future.

Anyway, to the point. When I played a pre-season game he got subbed in and he has long blond hair. For some reason I find it hilarious, but great.

Remember that combine stats are not exact this year either, just an indication of the range his physical stats could fall in (+ or -1 I think, will do my research next week).

I want to say it was a 5% variable when I listened to one of the podcasts. The range for a certain 40 time could have a rating difference of up to 5 points I think from one player to the next. Also to the above poster saying that generated faces were a step back from real life photos, the photos in the game were awful. They were low res and obviously had some face blending going on. Some looked pretty bad.

For sure, some were lo-res and looked bad. And some didn't match the player's body type. But I would have rather them focused on improving those photos/adding new ones rather than switching to cartoon faces. Just seems to break the realism when you have a team mixed with real and cartoon photos. Just a personal opinion. Not the end of the world.
