Well that's a bummer.. At least we will be getting something next week.

Does this mean they are sticking with the same scouting system as from M16?

Nice guess that rules out custom classes though

While that is sometimes the case, it was easy as hell to beat guys in DC that relied on it. If you play the man, you will not only break up AGs, you will get a fair share of deflections for INTs.

Now, understanding how many guys play does mean you will be better off with one or two CBs that will match up. But I also found investing in elite safeties will help even more. It's the easiest way to close the gap and get two men on their typical targets.

I've played a ton of DC, and now Salary Cap MUT, and there is a way to beat everything people try to spam. I will sometimes find myself down 14-0, but will hang in and often turn the tables.

And really, I try to create a scenario where I can use the RAC catch on a bomb. It's much more deadly.

That's somewhat disappointing but I guess it's better than them spending more time messing with scouting. Hopefully they've made draft classes bigger so it can add more to scouting and drafting as well.

Good to hear some things have been reworked... some more variation would be nice, it was far too easy still to spot the gems in the later rounds as everyone else around them had terrible scouted attributes. Also, it would be nice to see the occasional freak... there are no Cam Newton style quarterbacks or Laron Landry style safeties and certain archetypes were just not worth drafting (Speed DEs with super-low strength... urgh...).

Disappointing to hear that they are sticking with the 3 attribute scouting system. At the very least I'd like to see them make all attributes available (like Madden 15) and allow us to decide which 3 we want to see.
