Not sure what rounds the others were off hand but I will check later and post here.

I completely agree, the results speak for themselves! I have done 2 drafts now using this method and both have been great. The first one wasn't as good as my last one but that was partly my fault as I missed out on some of the focused scouting because I forgot they all had to be from the same position. If you follow the formula it is hard not to have a good draft.

I’m doing a super sim franchise and am about 8 weeks in. Just watched the EA video on scouting again and it seems like it’s a bit more hands off with the new system unless you have one of those decision points that pop up in your weekly tasks feed. Is that a fair assessment of the new system?

I’m sure I’m going to end up botching it the first season or 2.

Do we have a rating correlation to the words being used?

E.g. Elite means rating of 95+ or Great means rating between 85-94, etc

BoomFranchise or anyone else that has been doing scouting in Madden more then I have.. I have a general Question...

with the following positions:

QB - I know besides the Physicals what kind of Skills am i looking for in a QB and which ones are a minus..
HB - I know it depends on which kind of RB/HB ur using but was wondering besides speed and break tackle what would be another key skill to look for Trucking/Stiff arm?
FB - I know this is prob Run Block, Pas Block, Lead Block as most teams use their FB for blocking...
WR - Speed, CTH in Traffic, Catching, Deep Route, MED Route, Short Route, Spec Catch any im missing?
TE - Strength/Pass Block/Run Block (if your looking for a Gronk kind of player
OL (T, C, G) - Pass Block, Strength, Run Block, Run/Pass Block Power

DE/DT - Strength, Tackle, Hit Power, Block Shedding?
LOLB/ROLB/CB - Speed, Z. Coverage, Tackle, Hit Power, M. Coverage, P. Recognition
MLB - Not sure for MLB

Kinda overthinking it especially bc most of these traits you won't be able to see bc of limited scouting abilities. Just look for elite traits in speed in general it'll save you a lot of time and again, you don't get access to every "trait"

I found stories are mostly only good when they are "negative" and you can get some players at a better round/price. Haven't found much from "positives" at all for players to their benefit. Reactions? It's the same thing, when a scout or Todd McShay is "Down" on a player they fall in the draft.
