(though, as I said, it did make an adjustment for me especially when it came to Hester, so we had a different experience with schemes I guess)

Previously we were able to view true overall by using the in game depth chart but EA fixed this.

True overall is simply the overall used in play now. The recent ratings reveal? Those were the true overalls.

I also traded in M25 but am regretting it now lol.

It is a roster management assist. More so for the AI but it helps the user too. Take defensive ends as they are the best example. A 4-3 DE is different from a 3-4 DE. Previously a DE would be rated 88 but he could be a horrible fit for a 3-4 defense. So if you ran a 3-4 defense that overall was misleading. Now you get a better indication of how well a player fits your team.

If I still had the game I would run the test with Hester. (scheme)Overall may have an impact on the simulation engine and if it does that was an oversight on the part of EA.

Fair points. I guess to me the whole thing ended up being way the hell more complicated than it should have been and they should have just kept madden 13s franchise setup instead. Hopefully it all makes more sense this year, at least to me.

They did a pretty bad job of explaining it so quite a few people were confused as to what it was and did. The biggest problem was with how buggy it has been with schemes not sticking after changes. The first year was understandable but it also happened in M25 Owner mode lol.
I can understand why that alone would leave a sour taste in people's mouths.

Yeah, agreed. I wasn't planning to buy it on release this year but with the best buy trade deal I probably will now since I can get it for 25 bucks.

Yes I do understand schemes. My god. That's why I can see there are deficiencies in how they are represented in the game as opposed to the real NFL.

I wouldn't know. I don't play online. Just offline CFM.

The same for both RB's, Harris and Lacy, with no difference in production. If they are both running the same plays, shouldn't the one fit for the scheme (Lacy) have better production?

You haven't answered it satisfactorily. That's why it keeps being asked. My 65 RB, WR, DT should not have the same production as my 85 RB, WR, DT. Why do they if they if they don't fit the scheme and schemes are working correctly? Either the GB default schemes are setup incorrectly and don't match the GB default playbook, or schemes don't work correctly.

I think you are talking about simmed games and I'm talking about played games. It might make a difference in simmed games and not in played games. They both use a different engine.

I was hoping that in CFM they would've change the different tiles (roster management, trades, trade block, settings, depth chart, etc.) to a team specific theme. If I'm the Eagles maybe each one is a different Eagle, or something related. . . Instead its loaded with 49ers and Seahawks I'm sure lol.
