Pro Bowl voting is terrible

This type of thing has been around for a while and often seems biased towards the user's players. Has anyone brought this to the attention of @EA_White or asked the developers about this?

Where is the list of players that are elected to the pro bowl? I can't seem to find it in the game.

I believe you can see it during Pro Bowl week in the awards section. I always just know because my players get a big exp boost, and if you go into their awards it'll list it there

yeah, this actually makes the pro bowl more realistic given how the voting happens in RL.

Were you controlling this DB? Because if he was jumping slants with the CPU controlling him, that would be unbelievable.

Usually yes. I wish the AI would do that on their own

Well if you're controlling a CB and because of that he gets 8 picks, can you really complain about the game being unrealistic because he's fringe player and selected to the Pro Bowl?

Yes the Pro Bowl in Madden in pretty much rinky dink (sorta like real life).
