This is now the question I most want answered. Are these traits available to be edited for everyone on the game? If so, this will add a whole new level of realism to the game. Each player will play differently, even if their ratings are the same. This could be my favorite new feature lol.

I am surprised no one has jizzed about controlling all 32 teams yet.

This year you can always change their rating to whatever you think they should be.

I'm wondering that as well. I'm guessing they've been working with the NCAA team to get this right

i just read the blog. I`m shocked. BUT i just hope 2 things.

1- that all these get to and show in the retail game. You know what i mean. I really want to see a CPU changing their Scheme because the passing hall of fame QB is injured. Hope this is not something for a Blog and that`s it. Make it happen.

2-That all these features are also for the CPU to use and also they take use of it. Example Trades, does the CPU trade between CPU and CPU? Does the CPU initiate trades? does the CPU adjust their depth chart if the 2HB is having a better game?

I just don`t want to see a QB struggling with a 60 Ovr because their cold streak and play that QB for 3 games while their Backup ovr Rtg is 78 for example-.


Hope this makes sense.

I agree.
First of all 87 is WAY TOO HIGH. I hated last year when I saw 89 OVR players coming from pre-gen classes. I dont really want to edit all the players but I can live with it
