No, they are different draft classes.

In one of the E3 videos, Looman said they have built a load of new draft classes (30 I think) that have branching story lines. If the names were randomised, Trey Wingo wouldn't be able to talk about the draft picks by name.

Looman also said that the order of the draft classes are not set. If you were in two Online CCM, the chances of both 2013 draft classes being the same are highly unlikely.

If this is the case, I am not a bit concerned. Now if it was happening in multiple years, I could understand the concern, but as it is now I think its a bit premature to call this a glitch.

Wonder why EA eliminated the ability to import draft classes, either from NCAA or from roster share? A lot of people really like that feature. I enjoyed creating a few players in NCAA and then just sim my season till the awards come out and then project who will be drafted in Madden. Hope EA will add that back maybe with a few game updates as the season progresses, but won't get my hopes up.

I'd be suprised if you see it in M14. The problem is the rookie storylines. That's why import has been removed for this. I can imagine it'll be very difficult to find a way to have the storylines match up to your NCAA game. Atm the storylines are attached to rookies created by EA. The names as i've been told in another thread are fixed as Trey Wingo talks about them during the draft. If importing from NCAA, obviously the names aren't fixed and will be different for every person.

I think it'll be a big task to get it working in a way EA are happy with for M14. I can't see it personally.

They took it out because it was broken. The imports were always terrible and inaccurate.

It just depends on how important $60 is to someone. I was disappointed with Madden 12, but I wasn't outraged. I just found something else to play (NBA 2k12, Head Coach 09 and then Madden 08). What we are talking about is the folks that are really upset if a game doesn't do what they want it to do.

It would be cool if your franchise started with the draft that happened already. If you don't touch anything the draft would go as planned. If you pick someone different for your team then there might be a ripple effect.

Maybe this is a feature that only Vikings fans dream about....

No, this was a VERY popular feature in NFL HC '09. I'd kill to have it in '14.
