    With EA doing everything they can to replicate what we see on Sunday, I don't see the problem in making sure the Picks are accurate as I think that will help Franchise Mode as well.

    I can understand his frustration though but at the same time if a team trades their 1st Round Pick I think Madden should reflect that. I know I was trying my best when I controlled at 32 teams to make sure teams had correct picks, and I'll be doing the same thing again in Madden 12.

    i agree i do NOT mind at ALL if you can edit the Picks just like u can edit the Roster by trading Peyton Manning for a 3rd stringer , u could Trade all the 1st round picks to your team before you start your Franchise for all i care , but dont make it a Focal Point imo

      I want authentic draft picks.

      If you want to really rebuild your team [Raiders] just pretend Al Davis died and moving forward you team can now make less bad decisions.

      This would only alter one or two offseasons... out of 30 years fo franchise. Even if you played only 10 or so, it would be more realistic, and as a result more rewarding than the way it is now
      Exactly. It should be Authentic. if your team in real life wanted to trade picks it should be reflected in Madden. After one or two seasons your back to your original picks.

        Yes, Ok now I see your point and understand it. What they should do is expand it to where each team can have 15 picks max(instead of the 10 picks total we have now) and in Player Management there will be a section for Draft Picks(whether it's 1 or 2 Years of Draft Picks) and it starts off with all original 7 or 14 (I.E 2012 and 2013 Picks available) picks for all 32 teams and from there if the OFFLINE user wants to move them to make things accurate go on ahead.

        I'm glad they are bringing back switching teams, now the only thing I ask for is to be able to play other games and not just the team your controlling. I'm not talking about controlling all 32 teams, I'm just asking for the ability to play other games along with the team we chose like we had the option to do in the PS2 days, that way we could create our own parity if we wanted too.

          My guess is that they don't force you to make cuts until sometime in pre season and they are going to let us use those games to decide who to cut. I doubt there is going to be OTAs. I could be wrong, but this would seem to be the best way to do it if they haven't added any new functionality for it. I guess we will all find out tomorrow.

            You can still do this. Just go to League Schedule and select tehgame you want to play.

              Completely forgot about Pre-Season. Derp. Still want training camp, though.

                the CPU asks for an Arm and a Leg and usually Trade Rapes you for 1st rounders now

                so i wouldnt and Couldnt Trade for one
                which would hurt me , because of Al Davis's *******

                  Or in Madden, the price you pay for being a Pats fan. We have lost Seymour, Branch, Cassell, and draft pciks in real life and we get nothing in return in Madden.

                    Love the edit feature, this way I can adjust players to make my own franchise storyline and have injuries impact ratings.

                    Yes I hope the have this option too.

                      Honestly, I wish it was like real life, but I am pretty sure when AJ answered the question about the game not knowing the Browns cut Rogers he sort of gave us the answer for this too.

                      I play with the Falcons, I would much rather have to deal with the real price for getting Jones than to just have this great player and it not mean anything for the team. I will probably trade away my #1 to the Browns for some no good player to make up for this.

                          YES YES YES YES OH GOD YES....editing player during franchise is going to make this amazing. Now we can edit NCAA players ratings if they come in wrong change like in years past.

                            I am really...REALLY excited about the "preseason matters" feature that is implemented. The fact that ratings wont be revealed until the season starts is very interesting. PLaying your rookies in preseason adn them actually being better is clutch IMO

                              Finally, looks like I'll be getting madden this year, after a 3 year drought.
