Yes I am. How much did Dobson play last year not much. And Tavon Wilson sucks.

If you want to talk Patriots drafts IRL. This is not the thread for it. End it now.

I love scouting, and building my team through the draft, but last year as incredibly easy, and cumbersome. All you had to do was scout Intangibles and Physical and as long as both were A or B you had a great player with Superstar or Fast development. It felt cheap knowing that. This system isn't very complicated, but Ix feel like it places all players on a more even playing field. So now you're going to have to think a little bit more about ypur draft position and whose in front of you, and what their needs are. They might snag that 4th round gem you've got your eye on if you're not aggressive. I still loathe not having a draft board. Back to the pen and paper method.

I agree with some off this. For everyone who says scouting was this challenge I'm not sure how it was. I use this exact strategy. Once you know the physical and intangible grades it's pretty much all you need.

Now I don't use this method in my offline cfm's but, in online you just kind of do as others do to keep up. Plus it's not my job to make scouting right without having to use house rules.

The point is either system is not how I want it. I want the 2k or head coach system

My perception is probably clouded a bit by the fact that, at first glance, I have an extreme dislike for this new scouting and actually enjoyed the older scouting and felt with a couple tweaks it could be great. So, would anyone who thinks this scouting is better explain to me why or what they think is better?

I'm still trying to wrap my head around why we're forced to scout every week and what place "true value" really has.

I think it's marginally better because you'll have a vague perception of a player's value. You'll know what round he should go in, but is it because of potential or present worth?

I may be wrong, but isn't "true value" just what the prospect grades out as? You hear it every year, I had him graded out as a 5th round pick... Mike Mayock says that sort of thing all the time. I thought that's what true value was replicating.

I see what you're saying. I just think it's better that you dont necessarily know why a player's true value is what it is in Madden. You had access to too much information the way it used to be. Now, theoretically, all a player's numbers could point to a high value, but a low INJ, DEV, consistency, AWR would give him a lower value and force you to take a risk.

The draft is always a risk, even the "Safe" players don't always turn out.
