Is there going to be a separate depth chart for 34 and 43 defenses now?

Does anyone know

i seriously doubt it, but there is a slight glimmer of hope since theres no old code leftover for these modes and everything is brand new and redesigned.

[Yeah...THAT Guy]

Doubt it. Wasn't like that in HC09 if I recall correctly.

No and I don't really see where it is necessary. the only real difference would be your DT2 doesn't actually get on the field and your MLB2 does. I don't think a whole new Depth Chart is required for that.

A whole new depth chart is sorely needed for many reasons, but that isn't really one. There should be depth chart positions broken down into NFL positions. There should be x,y,z receivers and there should be nickel corner backs as well as left and right corners separate from each other. You could go on with others that really should be there as well; short yardage back, 3rd down pass rush specialists. In the NFL these are all very different positions with different qualities wanted for each spot.

Back to the original question, they at least need to adjust the roster minimums for each defense (more MLB less DT), but removing the limits all together would be the proper choice.

In a perfect world, Madden would completely model everything related to NFL football, but it is a game. Simulating the work of everyone in the front office/coaching staff would be overwhelming for most people.

I hope so because the 3-4 Defensive positions require different strengths. The MLB isn't suppose to be set up by overall ratings. Traditional your strong MLB (the side where the TE is) is more of your run stopper and the other one can run better from sideline to sideline. Also the DE are different as well.

Now that's what I'm talking about!
