You can edit them after they get drafted.

Is that the only time though? I'd like to keep it fair game if a draft lacks variety at certain positions.

In Madden 16, some drafts had 10 1st and second round LT. A team with a RT need, wouldn't draft them.

is it possible that the guy's rating is boosted because of a particular scheme? maybe hes really a 72 OVR but he's a 78 in the users scheme.

The first thing your talking about there ,is something i dont even like being in CFM , the fact that players will change dev rating , even at times weekly.I just really dont like that at all.For numerous reasons , i have mentioned before and wont get into here. The second point there, If someone is able to snatch up that WR for instance he showed with 92 spd and accel, with ss dev. I dont know many online franchise guys that would see that guy , pick him up, and not work on him to make him a great player in a season or two tops.Madden still makes that rather easy for people who want to do it imo.In other words i dont see them just picking up someone like that and placing them on PS for someone else to possible steal. that WR would be on active roster, and they would be sure to get him reps in practice and in games by subbing him in , to get him what he needs to progress. That is just the mindset of online franchise guys. I do like how they changed the scouting to the first trait is 15 points. That will make it alittle tougher to scout as many people , as deep as before. Personally id love to see a scouting points slider for commish like the one they added for xp , but thats just me. So i like some of what is mentioned in video, some of it, not a fan at all of . But , hope it means more gems to be found in later rounds this year for our online leagues overall. Is it the 23rd yet? i see i have alot of testing to do......

As far as I know it is not nearly that touchy. And it keeps some element of randomness in CFM, which a lot of people were looking for.

So you can still scout 70% of the class well enough to have good info on who to take.... without scouting package. For an online league , i just feel thats a bit high, maybe thats just me though. Id really like to see a scouting points slider for commish added.

Yes i know it wont happen every week, but i am sure John white has said it can change weekly . like if a guy gets a player of week award. I also know that dont mean everyone who gets player of the week it will change, i just personally dont like that having any way shape or form , causing a guys dev to go up, and i believe possible down with a bad week as well?

Guys just dont tend to rarely do that in real life. #TrentRichardson still trying to be more than a slow dev guy ....

Trent Richardson is actually a great example of how the new dynamic development rating is realistic. dude was a top 10 pick and probably had like superstar or at least quick development rating. now adays? would u say hes superstar development? of course not. in past maddens, despite being terrible he would still maintain his superstar development and be very valuable. in the new madden, he wouldn't. which would you rather?

As far as I know yes that is the only time you are allowed to edit them.
