completely agree.

yep. for me, you should only have two or three of those per year. maybe even that is too much at times.

interesting. good info, thanks.

I seem to be angry during the draft and happy during the season. happy not to let 7 to 8 95 plus players go every year only to develop the next generation all into super stars. I want struggle in my franchise.

me too. far tougher. in past years, drafting good players, letting them develop & then starting them was too easy. cap management was too easy because of this.

right now, i know i have to hit on my first two pick to ensure i get someone good. after that is a min-crapshoot.

just like it should be.

this change is a fundamental shift in madden towards the more realistic draft scenario. previously, if a guy wasn’t in the 70s, i suspect many people ignored them. now, you need to shift you understanding. getting a 68 OVR in round five is simply better than getting a 71 in the second. not cos o how they play but as a reflection of value. people need to actually understand that almost no teams in real life have players in the 80s at all positions. having a bunch of mid 70s vets (not developing rooks) on a SB winning team

equally, there are plenty of high 60 & low 70 rated UDFA after the draft for you to pick up & develop.

Exactly, FOR YOU. This is the problem, most of us don't share your opinions.

Yea, in YOUR opinion. Here is the problem, it is not balanced when the majority of the CPU controlled teams suck, and you can easily shred them, because they only have one or two decent players.

You mean just like you think it should be. Just because you think it should be like that does not mean everybody else does.
