You're probably going to hate me for this, but I have lots of questions.

Coaching Carousel
Do coaches matter this year? Does each team take on its coach's schemes and personality? Do coaches get fired when they do poorly, perhaps they have to take a coordinator's job the next year? When a new coach is hired, do players lose awareness because they have to learn a new system? If coach changes defense from 4-3 base to 3-4 base, are there players who don't fit the new scheme? Do they ask to be traded, disgruntled if they aren't traded?

Scouting
I know there is a new progression system, but has EA finally decided that the set in stone potential grades are not the way to go? When scouting players, are there highly rated busts in the first round? Are there gems in the 6th round? I know that this was there before, BUT it was really easy to see through scouting, which makes the game boring. You aren't taking a risk by drafting a QB in the top 5, because in Madden, you know that the QB has A potential, and WILL be good.
Will there be a difference between 4-3 players and 3-4 players? Or will I still be able to change Manny Lawson to a 93 ovr DE and play him in a 3-4 system...if there FINALLY is a difference, how will this play out through scouting?

Draft
Do the AI teams draft smarter? Do they trade picks around? Do they follow dynamic team personalities, some re-building through the draft, some through FA?
Editable draft classes?

Progression System
Are there player personalities, and if so, does that affect their progression?
Since the new progression system is based off of in-season stats, HOW WILL THIS AFFECT THE DEFENSIVE PLAYERS WHO DO NOT GET STATS, LIKE SPACE EATING NTs?

During Season
Can you game plan against teams, take advantage of weaknesses, injured starters, poorly adjusting rookies, etc?
Do coaches get fired mid-season?

During Game
IF player personalities are implemented, how does this affect their performance in game?
Are there positional subs on BOTH offense and defense? If I want my strongside OLB to play in the nickel instead of the automated choice of the weakside OLB, can I choose that as a positional sub like I can on offense, if I want my backup LT to play TE on a big set?

Lastly, but certainly not least;

DOES THE AI ADJUST TO YOUR GAMEPLAN AND TEAM STRENGTHS?

All that being said, thank you very much for taking our questions to your interview.
