Ahhh right I see. Ha! Good to know that's fixed.

Any chance they added some new generated rookie portraits? It's been the same ones for years now. It'd be fresh if there were some new ones added.

I believe all the portraits are now each generated from / otherwise directly attached to the many new create-a-player heads.

I actually didn't see any of the old familiar portraits in the EA PLAY build; they could be there but I didn't see them.

Wait, meaning they took all new photos for the generated rookie photos?

Say I want to use the edit a player feature.. When you're in the roster screen editing a player, will it just go back to the same menu you just came from?
In Madden 16, the way you cycled through the rosters screens were terrible.. not only was it slow and clunky, but it constantly reverted back to "position:all"...Especially frustrating and time wasting when I just want to go position by position, making sure I have the right edits on any certain team. As a guy who loves to mess with rosters, I wish Madden could make it as seamless, quick, and accessible as NBA2k roster management screen. Like, why does it take so long to go through the depth chart?
Love that they gave us back roster editing, I mean why it left in the first place, idk..that was a stupid idea. But if going through rosters while editing hasn't been somewhat tuned and/or updated, it'll take forever to do what us heavy offline franchise players want with the rosters.

I certainly hope so!

I'm tired of having two / three players with the exact same portrait on my team at the same time by year three / four of CFM...

I also hope they get rid of the portraits that don't look even remotely plausible...
