During a rebuild you have to rip stuff out. Now will they put it back in next year? Eaaaasy Now!

This dev team had to go through and Fix so much. That's EA telling us how bad of shape this game WAS!!!!

Just give these guys some time. Looman and Moore are your Franchise guru's! They'll get it right.

What an odd omission. It seems like something that should be easy to implement. Im no developer, but its obvious that player info is stored via some sort of database, how hard is it to have a line that says "Round drafted". It's not like its something that would change over the years.

If the game was built from the ground up, it probably was just an oversight.

That does bother me, I do review things like that to at least see where new import guys were drafted when they bust out as stars. Helps you see who were busts and who were steals.

Not a good thing to remove.

This is what they did to "fix" the create-a-playbook glitch (which wasn't all that bad in the first place...). Then a few years later they reintroduced it as a feature you can have if you buy the PSP version of Madden as well.

So, expect draft info to be something you can purchase in a couple of years...

This is disappointing - I always used to enjoy checking out random free agents and seeing their draft history, or some of the new stars in teams rosters and see what rounds they came from, especially once you were 5+ years into your franchise.

It seems bizarre they'd make all this big deal about the new potential rating, sleepers and busts to then not give you any way to check out who are the real sleepers and busts 5 years down the line.

It's not a gamekiller, but it should be a fundamental part of franchise mode.

I'm just going to keep my own log of the drafts, Im going to write down every player that was drafted, when they were drafted and what team for each year. Should only take a half hr to do and that way i can keep track of gems and busts.
