As well as everything else, name, skin color, ht, wt, skills, styles, equipment, it was beautiful. I hope this ability stays in the game and is added upon. One thing that should be added is the ability to edit coaches the same as players. Just please do not remove this...i know how EA likes to take great features out.

I highly doubt it would get removed. Relax your fears.

What I was hoping for, and I don't think I'm going to get, is the ability to create/edit draft classes as a front end feature similar to NBA 2k.

2nd reactivated player off IR (new rule i believe)
5th yr option on rookie
multiple types of rfas
compensatory picks
trades where guaranteed monies are moved
trades for coaches !!!! in Gruden's case that was money and picks?

The way it sounds, target passing is gonna be similar to PKs and free kicks in FIFA 17. Not sure if it's a good thing or a bad thing.

Hoping to see a halftime show/end of game show presentation that finally surpasses that certain old football game that was released back in 2005.

I would like the ability to watch other team's games in franchise, which oddly was not in 17, which made it a no-play. Since mine is a fully customized league where I set up teams competitively, (which I do in every sports game I have) it made me mad. How is it in 12, but not 17?

I really don't think this is even on their radar. I really want to see a weekly wrap up in CFM, for all the games of the week. And, I know I'm not getting that. Lol. But, again, from forums I've seen, and interviews with Rex, I just really don't think this is high on their list of priorities. And, it just kills me. They've got the ESPN license as well as NFL, and they hardly use it at all.

I am in the same boat. They had it once in Madden 12 and pulled it. I don't think my heart could handle that them removing such a necessary feature.

If anything I am hoping the let us edit/ save/ share draft classes so I don't have to start over every new CFM.

I'm VERY pumped about this. (Again I've been away so just seen this info tonight).. Been asking for a revamped passing system for a while and this "seems" like it's heading there. Can't wait to see in action.
