I like the additions. But it's just more intuitive menus. I'm disappointed there isn't more player interaction within these new menus. I don't want a wishlist post but it's very ho-hum from a "wow" point of view.

The biggest disappointment for me.

One thing that sounds intriguing is combine results. I really hope that the results actually affect the stats. So if someone runs a 4.27 there speed better be like around 96-99. Or if they do 40 reps on the bench press they have a strong strength rating. Etc. It better not just be for show like the dumb draft stories

personally i believe this is going to bring back a new sort of "cheat sheet" for the drafts. Congratulations EA! it will be something like this if player runs 40 in 4.78-4.82 = 89-92 speed ..... this will be a new thing , just watch n see.

Issue i have with it , is , its free , for everyone in the league. So it costs you nothing so you can spend more scouting points else where. The reason i LOVED madden 15 scouting and draft was because, people HAD to scout , and if they wanted to know it, it was gonna cost them, so they were limited on what they could know on a larger scale. Thus really giving the opportunity to find a guy still there in the 5th round, with star dev , and good attributes , to make a great player . This is going to be taking out alot of the enjoyment IMO., between that and the "true draft value" .... man why couldnt they leave it alone, it was fine the way it was , for 1 year.....

In general I like the initial reveal for CFM...I would like to have formation subs and editable draft classes, etc...Then again, if EA/Tiburon has fine tuned the generated draft classes, maybe things will be good overall..

I really like the Combine and Free Practice, with the later being very big to me.

Ultimately game play will be the deciding factor, but that is beyond the scope of this thread...

I like the in game goals, though I hope goals are determined by team scheme...The ability to have more control over Confidence and the extra budget for the small market teams are good news, IMO...

I do like the visual depth charts, even if it is just the MUT depth chart, but maybe this change helped streamline the inner workings of Madden, by getting the different game modes to use as much as the same resources as possible?

I love how they are showing which attributes are affected by Confidence, hope this detail is added to things like sliders, both in and outside CFM.

Looking forward to more information...

I am not one to complain about bits and pieces of Madden and no matter what they do each year, I'm always a sucker for purchasing the game, but I find it interesting how for the last two installments they have implemented facets of the game that they call "new" with only modifications and added versions from past PS2 and XBOX 360 days. The scouting combine results was a feature that was on past versions. Drum roll please...

I don't think it will be a cheat sheet as long as intangibles matter too. Ball carrier vision, accuracy, coverage ratings. Etc.
