No No No No! Please take as MUCH time as you want EA... LOTS and lots of Beta testing... (something you did not do at all it seems with the last couple releases) We want all these nice shiny new features to work properly!

Alright, cool, I'd have to expect they try to generate more to have at least 10 classes worth, to prevent people with the same picture on a team as much as possible.

Everything looks great but I have one question. Now that dynamic player performance has been added will players who are on a cold streak or having a bad game be pulled from a game and have a back up fill in? Also if a player is on a hot streak will he move up and get a chance to start? Be cool to see a young player take over for a struggling veteran mid season and tear it up. I did noticed that position battles was not listed, I'm hoping that dynamic player performance will factor in to who starts.

Good question. Say for instance, the QB has a cold streak and his rating drops 10 points to a 70 overall and the back up is a 75. Will the CPU pull the starter and put in the back up?

Also, do you think there will be a mass rating editor? For example, can you can raise all player's speed by 5 points or 10%, something like that?

Player Progression!!!! If I draft a QB and sit him for 3 yrs, how does he progress under the new rules?

Back-up OL (especially young players) how do they progress if they don't play?

Practice Squads didn't make it in? Not complaining, just asking to clarify!!!

Undrafted Free Agent Period after the Draft?

I hope that it's not that touchy. The vast majority of teams will at least give their starter a couple of games to work things out, and apparently the "cold streaks" only last a few weeks. I'd love to see teams switch starters occasionally, but it shouldn't be that frequent.

Well, I know what you mean. But I hope if a QB is throwing 3-4 picks a few games in a row, I hope they pull him you know.

i agree with you I just think it would be cool to see a starter get yanked mid way through the game if he is just having a terrible game.
