I think the ability to change weight in particular is huge. Say you have a defensive player that is considered "underweight" when drafted. You can have him train harder in the off season to add some bulk. When that happens, you can make his weight go up as well his ratings relative to strength. The same can be said for players trying to slim down. Just add more agility and speed ratings. It just adds more storylines for me.

Is there any way folks at EA days can play into the second year and try to figure out if -2 ratings losses actually make a difference?

You know because how long has it been now, that folks here say this or that rating doesn't even matter?

I'm not really sure which thread to post in, so I apologize if this is the incorrect one, but I haven't run across any information pertaining to whether 32 team control has changed.

Price tells us it's "easier" this year but still requires the creation of the different characters. Nonetheless, this is something we will likely pick his brain more about once EA Play is over.

Has anyone heard about Franchise mode upgrading the Draft? Mock drafts, combine, commissioner coming to the podium to announce trades/players names? I love franchise mode just want Madden to focus on the Off season part of the game

The only change we know they made for sure pertaining to the draft is more gems/busts. Sounds like the draft as a whole wasn't a focus this year.

Hopefully they significantly upgraded the draft class and free agent pool sizes. I think draft classes last year were around 300 players but this year there's 320 additional roster spots specifically for players with >2 years experience so those have to be greatly increased.

Yea I think Price or one of the devs said the draft pool expanded but I'm not positive.
