    Very happy about this, upgrading could take up to an hour with the hold system. Not to mention I do it by position, and it would always go back to "All" when I finished with a player.

      I didn't buy last years, but I'd imagine the process was similar to how it was in Madden 13. The way I did it was establish a set number of XP (I can't remember what the number was) and if a player had more than that, I'd spend em. If a player had less, I wouldn't worry about him (until of course he accumulated enough). It came out to upgrading 5-8 players a week, so it only took a few minutes.

        Assuming the individual skills are being ranked in importance from top to bottom, it is interesting to see the new consistency rating being 5th on the list. Hopefully this has a noticeable effect on the gameplay.

          A simple improvement to make the game easier to navigate...

          I like it.

            Is it just me, or is it annoying that EA still didn't update most player's portraits since madden 11? Bushrod still has the same portrait as he did in madden 11

                How hard could it possibly be to update the player portraits YEARLY for AT LEAST the good players in the NFL? Every year 2k does it, so how hard could it possibly be for EA? The funny thing is that last year several players that were on the all-25 team had updated portraits on the all-25 team roster but not on the regular rosters, such as Rob Gronk, Larry Fitzgerald and Adrian Peterson.

                  not that long ago there was a thread started by someone can't remember his name but he was asking everyone if there's player portraits that needed to be updated for madden

                  * ill edit this post with a link to that thread if I can find it

                  http://www.operationsports.com/forum...portraits.html

                  it was KANE699 that asked for help, the same person that handles the uniforms for madden.

                    There is only so much time they can dedicate to the game while it is annoying to see the same portraits year after year that is very low on the list of things that need to be worked on. I would much rather them spend their time on something that actually affects the game than updating portraits.

                      Yeah but not the same devs work on updating player portraits as the gameplay. I could understand them not updating the portrait of every player in the NFL each year, but at least update the portraits of good-to-star type players and players that changed their hairstyle throughout the years such as Stevie Johnson and Brian Robison. It is weird that some players have updated portraits hidden in the game, such as J.J. Watt and Aaron Rodgers, but Donny Moore didnt give them the updated portrait ids for some weird reason. Last year Rodgers and Watt had updated portraits, so I dont know why they went back to their old portraits from madden 13
