EA Rolls Out Update for Madden CFM, Tweaked Upgrades and Draft Classes

[BleedGreen710]

loving what im hearing so far

6'6+ WRs and 6'4 CBs should be rare. I HATED seeing several each draft.

and lower ratings means the 80 OVR+ freak players will be more rare and actually will stand out, like in real life

im so excited about these changes to the draft class

[BleedGreen710]

Just did a bunch of Sims to test the new draft classes. Some notes: you won't reliably see freaks every draft. Some drafts had no one over 80. The best draft had 5. Player height has been tweaked a lot. Very few 6'5+ WR and only saw a single 6'4 corner back. 96 looks like its still the speed cap. Highest-rated was an 83 corner back. There are a ton of busts. Some teams had drafts with no one over 70. Saw a 2ND rounder in the 50s. There are also some gems. Saw a team get an 81 DT in the 5th. Drafts with multiple 75+ guys were rare, usually only a few teams pulled it off each year. CPU draft logic remains terrible as I saw many times they draft the same position with their first and second pick including QBs.

In conclusion: scouting is more important now. you can't reliably get multiple starters each draft. The top talent is worth trading up for now as they really stand out. Ridiculously tall and athletic players are now extremely rare and not to be expected each draft. I think all of these changes are great for the long term health of people's franchises and I am so excited to begin a new one with this in effect. Bravo EA. you made the best draft classes in years even better.

That's so good to hear.
I also hope EA fixed a size of centers plus made them fatter body shape
In16,almost all of em came out of draft were 6-1 ,6-2
And they all looked like a back up QB

I never posted in that thread but I can attest that at least 30% of WRs I have seen in my classes were over 6'3. Same number for TEs and over 6'2 CBs.

and it wasn't just their height. most of the 6'4 CBs I used to find had like 95 speed it was so ridiculous. it wasn't like "oh this guys taller but not as athletic". it was like deion sanders on randy moss body

It's like mini Usain Bolt's entering NFL
Raiders would draft at least an one of them
