I was really hoping to see something on draft boards, exhibition games, and more powers for commissioners to undo roster dumps and even games that people will super cheese in. But from what it looks like, we wont be getting any of these.

I only play by myself (I'm British and nobody really plays Madden who I know).

Editing players is really neat for us because we can edit rookies and put in real guys. We can also changes players during the offseason based on real-life. Say for arguments sake (and homerism sake) Blake Bortles comes out next year and plays lights out, puts up all-pro stats and looks like the second coming - next off-season I'd beef up his development based on the real-world.

Ive seen this request before. What exactly do you guys mean by custom draft classes?

being able to customize draft classes and share them

so people can create realistic draft classes or even ones that accurately reflect the upcoming draft classes of 2017, 2018, etc

For instance, it really worries me that the screenshot they showed had low-rated rookies like Booker and Higgins on the Ravens Practice Squad already...as if these 4th and 5th round picks were already cut in preseason by the teams that drafted them and the Ravens picked them up and made them Practice Squad players. That's unrealistic.

Not really, it happens. The Jags had a couple of teams 5th rounders last year or the year before who we signed up. Look at Tyler Wilson etc.

Any word if CPU vs CPU is back?

Its not generally about cheating or "beefing up players"...the editing is great for editing generic rookies into actual college players now that we can't import NCAA draft classes. Its great for fixing equipment issues with generated rookies, fixing any progression or regression issues that pop up with the system the game ships with.

It doesn't happen during those players rookie years, generally. Tyler Wilson is one of the only 4th rounders in recent memory that didn't make his team's roster after his first training camp...he was just awful. And that usually goes for most 5th rounders too.

Example

Edit: This was top of my list..but the rest of the additions look pretty good. Hope they put as much effort into expanding the mode next year as well.

Edit #2: Check the roster section of the 2k forum...lol
