Yes, but last year you could go ahead and edit any players coming in that you didn't like. You could change names so that things were more realistic. It's that level of customization that I'm going to miss.
The problem is that EA can't seem to get the mix of simulation vs. video game right. Why take out features that sim fans love in order to appease the more gamey gamers. There are just as many sim fans out there who enjoy Madden too.

And to the guy who called me a racist, you are a fool.
There is nothing at all racist about realizing that certain names are more prevalent to a particular race. If I said my name was Treon, Keyshawn, Kenyon, Muhammed, or Ahmed, you would not picture me to be white would you? That's all I'm saying....

Well, the reason you can't change names is pretty obvious, I think it would mess up the backstories. Notice how they call them by their names during the draft (and hopefully during actual gameplay) so changing names could screw all of that up, and frankly I like the backstories.

Dude cut the crap. he mentioned one issue about race and its a legit one. White folks dont tend to be named Treon. The rest of it is legit too. I don't want a fake rookie in my game I want the real ones from NCAA. They took that out so whatever, but don't make it worse by telling me this fake rookie is related to another fake player.

What team is this fake player on so I can goo look at his ratings and stats? Whats that you say? I can't actually find him in the game? Then you should probably leave that bit of dialog out.

Wow................................. SMH. Called imagination okay. The game probably uses a random name and appearance generator. Everyone keeps saying (not saying you are.) that a white WR being drafted first is so unrealistic, so basically there all saying if there was a white WR that ran a 4.3 40 that was 6'4' 230 and absolutly dominated the SEC he wouldn't be drafted high because he was white. Pfft.
