Does it need to be groundbreaking? It's a feature literally every sim-minded Madden player on this forum will absolutely use.

Having the game automatically recognize these specialist roles is far more convenient than having to manually set up formation subs, especially when formation subs may break if a given player is removed from the team. In addition, these roles will exist on CPU depth charts as well, so CPU game day roster management is automatically better by default.

I'm not going to downplay the importance of this addition.

Good stuff. While there are open questions about any number of things, this looks to be a release with major polish across several modes and gameplay. Give attention to the things that are important to us and present them well, and I stay tuned in and playing. It's the little things too.

Also not a MUT guy but it appears from a quick browse that the depth chart changes mentioned here also apply to main menu / CFM

I.e. addition of slot WR ,nickel DB ,power RB ( presumably akin to goal line) and rush DL

Here's hoping....

I also picked up this and hope it transfers over to CFM as well: MUT Squads returns in Madden 19 and, new this year, we have added the ability to play games against the CPU. You and two of your friends can team up to take on challenges that will be a mix of various difficulties, playstyles, and even weather. The even weather part would be nice. Eh, SS, I'll disagree with you. I will take efficiency any day over PITA setups.

Interesting...if they're adding the ability to play against the CPU in squads in MUT, are they trying to showcase the AI? Hopefully it was improved.

Are these the Player Positional Archetypes?

There are some awesome additions to MUT and game play in general. This was a very pleasing reveal. Look forward to more information and game play video.

Immediately identifying and fixing the key issues with upgrading players and chemistry made this reveal great from the start.

Not my mode but definitely a few golden nuggets in this write up that has me intrigued about CFM possibilities.
