Madden NFL 17 Draft Champions Update Adds QB Round, Updated Draft Pool & More

[Steve_OS]

EA Sports has sent out another Madden NFL 17 Draft Champions update, check out the details below.

• Added a QB round. The first round of every draft will now consist of 3 QB options. After the QB round there will be no other QB’s shown in the draft. This is to give users more variety in the positions they get to choose from while drafting.
• Updated Legend Round. The pool of players in the Legend round has now been updated to account for some of the more up to date Legend items in MUT. The older Legends that were taken out the Legend round can now be found in the normal draft pool. Legend round is now 2nd round of draft instead of first.
• Updated Draft Pool. The players in the draft pool have now been completely updated. We will look to continue to update the draft pool throughout the remainder of the year.
• Updated Base Team. Base teams have been updated to now consist of all Gold player items.

Booo I like the mystery of not having a qb, now I and everyone else is set at qb.

When was Alex Smith a 93 overall quarterback? I know this isn't the point of the story but that seems weird to me. I know Finneran was a WAR that was only Madden dominant so he got a huge boost but I don't think Smith has ever been elite in Madden or IRL.

did they ever have a madden draft champions bowl? that would be cool to see guys set up a different team every match which would highlight the skill of the player using different players and how they can adapt their play style to using different players as well.

Bad idea. Choosing when to pull the trigger on a QB is part of what made DC exciting.

i'm not an ultimate team guy but i will be trying the draft champions mode in the off season now that my franchise mode has ended for this year....it's a lot like fantasy football meets madden and that is very appealing to me. basically like drafting your fantasy football team and playing that team in madden, which should be a match made in heaven when you think about it.

Me too, and for me sometimes I liked to pass on a good QB and take my chances in hoping for another QB will come around. The only thing I wished they would have added is a Kicker/Punter Round.

Was this the big final February update Rex was going on about?! Waiting to start my final roster CFM until all the updates are done.
