The attributes did go up too much. I think it could work in CCM if the physical drills gave minimal (+1, +2) physical boosts, while the skill trainer like drills boosted awareness of whatever system you're running.

Tough to see that the players standing by during the drills still have the high white socks and that lifeless look to them. Cool additions otherwise.

MY MAN! LOL I haven't seen a Rodney Pete and Thomas Davis sighting in some time.

Cool. The Skills Trainer is one of the things I really liked from Madden 15, so I'm glad they're expanding it.

Oh I didn't know that. That game was when I was 8 or so years old so my opinion on this was based strictly on a fun not sim perspective.

The fun factor is what I missed the most from video games in the mid 2000s, games were so much fun because it combined sim and fun. MVP Baseball had create-a-ballpark, Madden had the fun Franchise mode and Mini-Camp, Tiger Woods PGA Tour had the fun arcade and career modes. So on and so forth.

Is it weird that I miss mashing my controller in hopes of getting a 4.4 40 or reppiing 225 20+

Look at that! Madden bringing back another feature they scraped! Pretty soon we can be right back to where we were in PS2/ xbox days.
