Just saw a clip of Rashard Mendenhall in the Gameplay Virtual Playbook video, and his name is all scrunched up. Doesn't look realistic and I wish it was something the guys at EA could address. Anyone else ever notice that?

I cant stand that squished names. Minor yes but it kills the presentation aspect at times.

With the editing of rookies you can fix the short, medium, and long accuracy of the QB's that come from NCAA Football draft classes.

Most of you know that QB's in the NCAA Football game dont have the same attribute ratings as Madden.

Worrying about imported QB's not being able to compete are over.

Exactly.
Andrew Luck will have a proper rating
I cant wait to edit most of the rookie ratings
Will there be a type of draft class share.

eh, probably not. Everyone's draft classes from NCAA Football will be different. Some players might stay in college while other come out early.

I cant wait to see how the Scouting System is fixed.
I hope potential is hidden this year. It was easy to build a good team because CPU wouldnt.

It keeps getting better and better

You can already do this on Madden 11 by controlling all 32 teams and then setting the other 31 teams you aren't controlling to CPU in the franchise options. Make sure you back out of franchise options, switch teams, then go into franchise options again. If you switch teams inside the franchise options it won't apply the changes. And you'll have to sign coaches for the CPU teams because if you let it simulate the coaching changes for teams with empty positions it will also change your staff, even if you don't have empty positions. Then after that you have to scan each team's CPU/USER settings (remember to back out and switch teams) because some of them get screwed up after you sign their coaches.

They just need the simple Madden 2003 version though. You could switch to teams who fired their coach.
