They Heard You: Popular Community Requests Coming to Madden NFL 17's Franchise Mode

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.

As excited as I am about full player editing, custom draft classes will be number 1 on my 2018 Wishlist

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.

Sorry, I'm just wondering how its all going to work.

For instance, it really worries me that the screenshot they showed had low-rated rookies like Booker and Higgins on the Ravens Practice Squad already...as if these 4th and 5th round picks were already cut in preseason by the teams that drafted them and the Ravens picked them up and made them Practice Squad players. That's unrealistic.

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.

I only play by myself (I'm British and nobody really plays Madden who I know).

Editing players is really neat for us because we can edit rookies and put in real guys. We can also changes players during the offseason based on real-life. Say for arguments sake (and homerism sake) Blake Bortles comes out next year and plays lights out, puts up all-pro stats and looks like the second coming - next off-season I'd beef up his development based on the real-world.

Not really, it happens. The Jags had a couple of teams 5th rounders last year or the year before who we signed up. Look at Tyler Wilson etc.

Its not generally about cheating or "beefing up players"...the editing is great for editing generic rookies into actual college players now that we can't import NCAA draft classes. Its great for fixing equipment issues with generated rookies, fixing any progression or regression issues that pop up with the system the game ships with.

It doesn't happen during those players rookie years, generally. Tyler Wilson is one of the only 4th rounders in recent memory that didn't make his team's roster after his first training camp...he was just awful. And that usually goes for most 5th rounders too.

Example

Edit: This was top of my list..but the rest of the additions look pretty good. Hope they put as much effort into expanding the mode next year as well.

Edit #2: Check the roster section of the 2k forum...lol

4th round is usually a push but plenty of 5th, 6th and 7th rounders get cut and put on PS or sign to another PS.

Looking at the Jets 2015 class as a quick example (because we got a player from them so it's an easy one)

Jalen Saunders (4th rounder): Cut in september of rookie season

Jeremiah George (5th rounder): Cut and placed on PS during rookie offseason, signed to Jaguars

Brandon Dixon (6th rounder): Cut during rookie offseason, signed to Tampa Bay's PS.

Quincy Enunwa (6th rounder): Cut and placed on PS during rookie offseason.

Tajh Boyd (6th rounder): Cut during rookie offseason.

That's just a small example but plenty of teams cut players during rookie offseason. Fourth rounders are rare but it does happen.

We have access to do so, but I think someone noted they can't be shared.
Gamers got to put some of their own elbow grease into improving their CFM experience!!!

Just need clarification if this is before or after the Draft.
Just having the ability is what we wanted though, so it's a win either way in my books.

I wonder if team roster export made it in. This allow you to scrimmage with your CFM team outside the online franchise mode.

Really hope so, used to love doing a fantasy draft with someone and then exporting the teams and playing them whenever we wanted.

This was the information I was waiting for. Thank you, EA - preordered on Amazon a minute ago. A big Bart Scott "Can't wait!"
