I think it's cool they did this, but is there a real benefit to it?

Yep. Draft classes will now be realistic and exciting.

Ok, but how so? Not trying to be difficult , but what does realistic mean? Basically what will be different from the past classes?

You can edit number, equipment, appearance, etc. after drafting them, but otherwise, it's no different than previous draft classes.

and they have faces right? what do you think of them by the way?

I dont remember ever being able to edit ratings mid-franchise...???

We will now find busts in the first round. Meaning we might draft the next Ryan Leaf in the first round. We may also find the next Tom Brady in the 6th round. This was never possible before because players were drafted from best overalls to worst overalls. I feel like I am repeating back exactly what the devs have said in their blogs...

Yes we can. It was confirmed by Chase at E3. Look up his blog from his impressions at E3

I would have to say you are wrong on that. It's is very different from last year if the bold part is true then it's very different from last year. If you have a creative mind, you can now make Maddens hand made draft a real draft just after they have joined their team. Lets say you have a QB that is going in the first round his name is Baker, and his accuracy is really good and high just change all his stuff and make it match Sam Bradford coming out of OK change the school his height wight his rating to make him a starter or not. you just need a creative mind to get around it. NCAA is the way I am going this year like every other year if Tim Tebow is too heigh ill hust lower is rating and make him a second stringer problem solved for players being too good.(well for me at least I have no problem fixing thinngs myself)

So I feel draft classes are able to be customized just after the draft if you dont mind it.
