Full Player Editing!!!

Shut the "Front Door!!!

I wonder how branching storylines will work with this ability.

Oh it is so on now.

Can't wait to work with the tiered rating system to make JJ Watt type players very unique/special.

Thanks Rex and Co!!!

Crazy, crazy, crazy!!!

It has been a while but I am officially geeked about Madden again. Franchise Mode doesn't have everything I want, but these additions combined with the gameplay and commentary changes have me drooling. Damn!

You could just create those players then take them into your CFM as a work around.
If we can't edit names, it may have something to do with linkage of name audio files to commentary and possible issues the editing may cause.

None the less, editing player ratings/traits is the big thing.
This gives gamers the ability to edit "gameplay" to a greater detailed level.

You can edit EVERYTHING about a player after they've been drafted. EA have confirmed it. Traits, Name, Appearance, Attributes, Development Trait, College. But we just can't share them with others online. Shame, but I'll take it.

One complaint I have based off of that screenshot in the OP, is that it looks like we won't be seeing ratings stretched out at all if 27 QBs in the league at or above 82 OVR.

That is my main concern as well. An 82 OVR is 27th based on overall, meaning 26 other QBs are ranked higher. That means 84% of teams have a QB 82 or above, which is not realistic. Also the fact it says "based on overall" tells me overall will once again take precedent in terms of the AI decision making in CFM, regardless of anything else.

I really hope when we browse career stats, we'll be able to see the team they played. I really miss this, as when you get many years into a franchise and it's full of generated rookies, it sucks not knowing a person's history.

Also hoping they bring back the full draft information, right now we just get the round and pick, would really like the team as well. I can't be alone in this, right?

82 is pretty low on the starting qb scale...at least to me

Yeah, can someone get clarification on the editing of the name please.

Dealing with the OVR aspect, looking at the AI response to reason to cut Breshad (doesn't meet our standards), there may be some under the hood stuff happening to help the AI in this area.

Practice Squads seem superfluous unless you get a prompt when another team tries to "steal" a player and sign them to their 53...you should get a chance to offer them an equal or better contract, so you can make a cut and activate them to the 53 yourself, as most players prefer to stay with the team who gave them a shot and whose playbook they've been learning in real life anyways.

If that doesn't happen, then not many people are going to risk extremely athletic, freakish, or potentially high-ceiling young players on their Practice Squad, they'll make room for them on the 53. And then the Practice Squad will be ignored almost completely.

Isn't that the same as real-life though? Nobody is going to put some freakish young athlete on the PS. They put guys who could in and do a job on the PS or some young guy who has shown a flash and may turn out to be a decent-to-good player. Very few elite NFL players started out on practice squads.

It's probably the reason EA left it out for so long: A lot of people will ignore it. Personally I love the feature.

For someone who plays pretty much only in online leagues, I guess I dont get the big wanting of fully editable players. There is no reasonable scenario in a league id see that happen. I guess if you're playing by yourself, and want to beef up your players, have at it. Dont get the fun in that though anyways.

I was really hoping to see something on draft boards, exhibition games, and more powers for commissioners to undo roster dumps and even games that people will super cheese in. But from what it looks like, we wont be getting any of these.
