I hear yeah...kind of.

If the imported draft classes in the past worked correctly I would agree with you 100%. However, they never worked right. Punters were being drafted top 5, equipment was all messed up, ratings kept varying from draft to draft. I just didn't like it, it got old to me. Plus, there were some draft classes where the best WR was projected to go in the 5th round....that NEVER happens.

This new draft experience will make for a much more complete process. I think I'm REALLY going to enjoy it.

Cool process. Will be much better than last year.

[Wessoo]

Looks amazing.

Guys, you gotta remember that it is GM Jeff Ireland who is charge of Dolphins draft picks so I wouldn't be worried about CPU Draft Logic. I think that they have got Ireland's personality into Dolphins' front office.

Sorry for the bad grammar, not my native language

I was aware of the old problems with importing. I'm implying a option to create your own draft classes similar to what NBA 2K12 has. I know after a few years the generated players become tolerable, but in my first couple of years in CC I would like to have real life big time college prospects in my game. Like Matt Barkley or Montee Ball. It adds to the immersion a lot more for me.

I've seen a few of these draft vids there are quite a few questionable picks at the top of each of them.

In this one...
1st: Cowboys - CB
2nd: Bengals - TE
4th: Rams - QB

All 3 of them teams have spent recent high draft picks on the positions they took.

Yeah because Dez Bryant has proved to be such an elite WR to this point.

Ok.

Not really a fan of the draft logic. Teams drafting players at positions they don't need and drafting non-valued positions too high. High Value: QB, LT, Pass Rusher (DE, OLB), CB, WR.
Low Value: FB, Interior Linemen (G, C), TE. Now this doesn't mean there aren't studs at some of those positions it's just they aren't highly valued. That's why the Pouncey twins (centers) go in the teens but, they're studs and everyone knew they would be but, an Andre Smith will go higher even with question marks because he's a tackle.

Also, it puzzles me why some measurables that are readily available after the combine remain hidden in Madden. We know 40 times, bench reps, vert, broad, etc. It's kinda dumb that you have to spend time scouting something that you can just watch the NFL Network to find out. I feel they initially did this because speed was the overriding factor in everything as far as ratings were concerned.

I do not like the loading before each article appears in the menu. It will get annoying, when it could and should be an instant change over.
