Depending on how many players you can develop each week it's probably about right.
    Tackling drills, watching film etc aren't individual things though. I was hoping for an actual full team prep where the drills/activities you pick are geared towards that week's matchup. This sounds like just a less tedious version of the weekly practice which is a shame because they had an opportunity to add some much needed depth to the mode.

        The weekly prep kind of sounds similar to NFL 2K5's prep each week. (Sorry if the comparison is totally wrong)

          While that would have been an awesome feature they still added depth with the individual training. Will be very good if you use a team like the Patriots for example, you can start Tom Brady for the next few years while still developing Jimmy Garoppollo for the future.

            It's a good compromise IMO. Guys like myself who really want to dig into development can and those who just want to fly through weeks can do that.

            I'd much rather have something like this than hear a bunch of guys complain that development is too tedious etc etc

                I wasn't even expecting Custom Draft Classes, honestly. I just want to edit the random draft picks so I can get just like Jamies Winston, TJ Yeldon, etc into future seasons of M15.

                Random draft classes are definitely a welcomed addition, especially for online leagues, but it would be nice to (at the very least) have the ability to rename drafted players.

                  Looks like they put a lot effort into CFM this yr and I can't wait to play. But I wish they didn't removed Practice from CFM. I like messing around with my team and practicing new plays and such.

                    I completely expect, and am prepared for Madden to mess up the random draft class feature some how, some way. I can easily see some 60 speed WR with the name Johnson Nebraska or something. But I am kind of intrigued.

                      You will be able to simulate some of or all of your Game Prep hours every week. All up to you, and the CPU will use logic based on your team/roster on what to prep if you don't want to. If you need help deciding what to train, there is also the "Recommended Activities" tab to help you out.

                        Thanks. I guess the next question is...is the coach mode option gone? Last year, you just had to call the plays, except for kicks, snap the ball, and the CPU will do the rest. Is that gone now?

                          Can't you just create/rename the guys? I doubt they changed anything as far as rosters across the board, that allows editing appearance to existing players without creating new. Since these new classes are random, maybe I am wrong.

                            I was excited that those first few screenshots showed coordinators/position coaches but disappointed there was never anything about hiring/firing them, and that firing in-season only really addressed the usual Coach/Scout/Training positions. A ton of other really good stuff there though.

                              I bet you're right, especially given that none of those coaches are actual coaches for the Browns.
                              I can't shave with my eyes closed, meaning each day I have to look at myself in the mirror and respect who I see.

                                You can't change ratings, and I'm pretty sure you can't change names.
