This year they also are REALLY drastically improving the franchise scouting of the draft where attributes will be hidden from you unless you invest time on that player. You can even draft a guy and not know his attributes until after roster cuts are made if you never scouted him. I find this to be awesome because it brings the element of NCAA recruiting into the NFL experience.
That being said, with these Madden 12 improvements, is it better to go with Maddens random draft classes or with imported NCAA draft classes? It is obviously better to have real NCAA names in the draft, but the overall game playing experience with the random Madden classes might outweight that advantage. Any thoughts out there?
