I can't talk about scouting or the draft until Shop releases his article later today. I do believe it will be expanded upon in the future and I don't believe from what I've been told that they just did it so people would stop asking about it.

JP, can you answer if we will be able to adjust our coach play calling % (run/pass, aggres/cons from year to year or even week to week (like ncaa)? I think last year, once you initially set it, you were locked into that until you retired the coach.

Unfortunately I didn't check that.

One thing I can tell you guys that I noticed, and it's minor but to me it's a simulation thing, and that is that there were a lot less ties in the standings. I think the most we saw was 3 in a season. I know in 15 I saw like 8 in one season.

How will Madden 16 handle a season like that compared to Madden 15?

Seems to have been missed, so I will quote for visibility. JP can you answere this or not?

I really don't understand at all why the goals for WRs are receptions. The goal of any skill position player is to move the ball forward and ultimately score TDs. I'd rather have a player with 50 catches for 1000 yards (Desean Jackson) than a guy with 70 catches for 700 (Michael Crabtree). Receptions are also largely dependent on the type of offense you run while yards are a much better barometer for offensive performance.

I wish you could choose what stats to focus on per position as coach (basically set goals for your players). I hate that my WRs goals are based on receptions instead of yards and my 3-4 OLBs goals are tackles instead of sacks. In other people's systems those might be the right targets though.

If EA doesn't want to give the user a choice what to focus on then maybe they could do a type of fantasy scoring system where multiple stats come into play and the goal is to just get a certain score per game or by the end of the season.

Goals in general have been tuned, and toned down. You shouldn't be seeing a goal of 130 for a WR, I believe 100 is the highest now.
