Nah I know you didn't say you wanted it. Then again I didn't hear anyone saying "You know what would be cool? A mode where you do a fantasy draft every few games that you play!" last year either.

These are just my frustrations. On one hand, I want to believe EA when they say they wanted to get the core gameplay right this year which was why they could not get alot of the minute details ("the little things" that make games like The Show and NBA2K great) into this year's game.

But then they go and waste time & resources on modes that no one even asked for. It's puzzling.

And the question still remains -- will the core gameplay even be tight after all this?

The gameplay team talks about what they are trying to accomplish with resources available to them. They have no control over the decision by other departments or by superiors when it comes to the decision to implement new modes.

It's not for me, but I predict that Draft Champions will become the first or second most popular mode in the game, and keep casual players playing longer and make them more likely to buy the game in the future. That would make it a genius move that DC was introduce into the game, regardless of the believe that this wasn't a requested mode.

Many of us here may be upset at having less resources available for the things that we care about, but that is always going to be the reality of any AAA, annual release, sports title.

I know they say that they aggressive catch won't be OP but I've seen that Odell Beckham diving catch more than I care to see and the game isn't even out.

I was a huge supporter of MUT, but financially I just couldn't keep up to compete. So, I abandoned the entire mode. Draft Champions, however, is perfect for me; I think I'll enjoy it. No stacked teams, play with elite players for free, etc. This will be cool, in my opinion.

While we might not want this guys, these modes are a huge part for casual fans that are by far outweighing us sim gamers. They would lose a lot of sales without these modes.

Hope they fixed the cap situation from last yr cfm it always seemed like ur cap started over each yr should b like real life where u have to make tough choices about who u resign or not

[Iamloch]

Would also b neat if draft champions could b used in cfm great mode but not used correctly

I'll play online cfm near exclusively, but I'll give draft Champions a shot. Looks like a great idea.

This is my exact reason for wanting to play this new mode. I only like MUT, because I enjoy the fantasy football aspect of playing with any player I like. I can create a team players that were with the Chargers like Vincent Jackson, Sproles, Cro, etc.

I lose that freedom of picking the exact player I want, but I gain not feeling the need to HAVE to spend money (I admit I have) or my life to be competitive online.
