Madden NFL 16 Implements a Draft Board, More Like a Watch List

That's good at least, wish there was some way we could rank it ourselves but better than nothing.

That's pretty big news and will help, do you know how many people you can put on the board/wish list?

Yeah but I can't say until I find out if it's ok to tell people.

Yep.. Projected rounds is ok but I draft on need not projected round. If I see my real need is a projected 2 or 3 that may lend me the time/info to initiate a trade down ....or know ok that stud ,even though I don't need, I can still grab and be able to get my real need in round 2/3 etc..
Either way we need a full blown draft board next year.

Also, i dont make games, but it really doesn't seem like a difficult feature to implement. Considering the framework is being laid in June and the second patch is probably going to be october-ish, thats about four months to get it right which doesn't seem lofty...but what do i know.

Totally agree with this gUy.....after seeing what games like Battlefield can do with a patch, I think it's easily posssible.

Trust me I understand that thinking I have used a whiteboard or pen and paper for years. I would love to have a fully functional draft board that I can organize to my hearts content and even add notes to each selection. But this is better than nothing and I will take it.

It's always "easily possible" when you aren't working on the game and have no clue what their code looks like, what their budget is and what directives they are given by management. I am not saying it's easy or hard but unless you are working on the game it's foolish to make comments like "easily possible because a completely different game does it".

But it might just tell you that the other game has a better game design, or stronger resources, or more customer friendly management.
