It's talking about draft classes.

I like it.

I swear I feel like they just took my wishlist and added every single thing I have written in the past few years all in 1 cycle.................

Simply Amazing!!!

Already pre-ordered now is just the long wait ahead but my excitement level is through the roof.

So Looman cleared up the Mike Vick "20-point swing"

"If a player is inconsistent, you could see pretty significant rating swings from week-to-week.

One week you might get the 90 overall Michael Vick and the next week you might get the 70 overall Michael Vick. Or you could just get the 80 overall Michael Vick.

If a player is very consistent, their ratings will only change slightly each week and you’ll typically always know what you’re getting (example: Peyton Manning or Tom Brady)."

Im sure with this they made skeptics into believers. Great Job EA.

I'm not sure if I missed it or not, but with all this new trade logic being put in, will the computer initiate trades with each other and more importantly the user? (during the first 6 weeks of the season as well as the draft)

[BenjiA]

my main question:

will we be able to edit the rookies' appaearances like skin tone and their faces? My concern is that with the real portraits they use for the rookies their generated players won't look like them.

Are we able to edit anything, not only the ratings?

And will we be able to edit the rookies before the draft? Or only after they have been drafted?

I hope the in season trades arent blown out of proportion. Not many trades occur except during the offseason or draft.
