I am very impressed with what has been delivered. Let me try to explain (note: i have been playing Madden exclusively in online lg since Madden 04).

Over the past few years, the hardcore NFL fans playing madden (i.e. franchise mode) often felt development resources were not properly used.

This new scouting has clearly been made fort these hardcore NFL fans playing madden who are into details and who like and understand what the NFL draft is.

The fact we cannot, simply cannot, walk into the draft pretty much knowing everything on all prospects is an amazing step to make this game a real sim game.

I mean we never had real bust drafted (and i exlcusively play in active online franchise).
I mean we usually had enough points to undercover all attributes. It was easy to figure out player attribute values, the only unknown were the traits (and we used the stories for that).

This new scouting leaves you for most prospects with that scout report and couples attributes and physicals plus a real small number of well scouted prospects.
This is a game changer and results in what a draft pick is: a shot in the dark.

Now We will all draft bust and we will all find unexpected gems.

For instance, I never ever in a Madden online lg understood the rationales to trade down (and lets be clear i have yet to see a good user doing a trade down period). Simply because you always have a good picture of what is left.
Now it will make sense. If the guys you have scouted well have all been drafted (especially for online lg) then you may pefer two shots in the dark for cheaper contracts rather than one, or, even, one this year and one next year.

This is amazing, really amazing.
I am very impressed by the work done and more important the design decision made.

Thank you EA we often make critics because we play your game like 700h or 800h a year but this is an amazing added value for football fans looking for an immersive madden game.

Note: if you could now restore free practice in the game even after game preparation that would be highly appreciated.
