How does potential work now? Will a 5 star "bust" still progress at a very high rate, even with a big drop in ratings to begin with? Will a 2 star "gem" still progress slowly?

I strongly agree with you on the rosters. I always sign full classes and end up cutting at least 8-11 guys a year b/c I don't have room. I wish they would give us the full 85 schollies and 15 walk on spots. This could also play into recruiting as you could offer preferred walk-on spots to lower rated prospects who have interest in you. If they ever added that in addition to gem/bust you could find some gem walk on guys, which while rare has happened.

I figured that this would still depend on their potential rating or something to that effect.

the ratings need to mean more in actual gameplay for this to matter to me

This makes me hopeful about the new scouting. I actually WANT to scout now. I never saw it as beneficial before.... At all.

This guy plays with FSU.. maybe thats why he has the #1 recruiting class each year? Just a though! Im sure you wouldnt have the #1 recruiting class each year if you were say Akron.

One of the reasons I re-upped my pre-order is because I remembered all the Dynasty improvements that I forgot about the instant the Infinity engine was announced for Madden. Dynasty mode will more than hold me over for Madden.

I start to think I have my mind made up with RTP in Madden and you go and do this.

Back on the fence I go
