Sort of Agree
I like the changes to SS, but this is the biggest reason I havent played it since 09.
This kind of want makes me want to skip on this mode, especially since it doesnt look deep and has depth like in RTG. But I still might give it a try. I plan on doing over 6 RTG players. I might only doing 1 SS.
For me to get interested in SS without fighting for job will take a lot of little stuff. I would like to see them take a page from the other BAP modes

The thing that confuses me is that in the SS it states " From here you can navigate to the depth chart and monitor your progress toward the starting job".

This is so irritating. This, along with the witness protection photos for your created superstar are complete buzzkills. EA's logic sucks. They feel that, since a lot of people don't play the mode anyway, they don't have to focus on little things like this. But, did it ever occur to them that, if they did focus on the little things for this mode, a lot more people would play the mode? Its ashame really.

I wouldn't consider this a little thing. It's a huge part of the mode that adds depth. Has anyone from EA said why exactly they have it the way it is? If it's not out of the box, maybe a patch could fix this up? I really hope they're able to address this issue before launch.

This is where EA needs to learn from itself and give the option. This sounds more like the team had two dilemmas:

1) A backup in the NFL can sit the bench for very long stretches of time. If you were the third string RB on the team, you may never see action for an entire season outside of special teams. Bottom line: boring to a lot of gamers.

2) The AI may not be present to take into account position battles and performance improvement that warrants a promotion (ie NHL 2011).

Chances are, #1 was a major factor, which made #2 a waste of resources given the people who would want to ride the pine all year.

Madden needed to get an undrafted free agent into their studios to tell them how the mode is supposed to work. Kinda like NCAA did with the walk-on guy.

So if I'm a QB and drafted by the Pats then I'm starting? Interesting, bye bye Brady.
