What I Hate Most About Draft Modes Is...

...getting wins off casuals with a terrible playbook I don't know, and then getting matched up against a sweat who knows the cheese in every playbook and gloats over their late pick after you can't defend their late cheese.

The playbooks bit is dumb. Sometimes I get playbooks that do not complement the guys I get the opportunity to draft. Other draft modes gave you a second chance at a different playbook.

What  I hate most about draft mode is how I dont know my opposing players overall unless I pause it

I wish there was a way to see players OVR in game with X Factor vision...similar to how you can see their X Factors and abilities

.

Mutmas draft, the upgraded players had built in abiltiies, so you could always tell where the upgraded players were and which areas of hte field to avoid/cover against

I've heard people argue that Draft is where the skill goes. But why is it that when it comes down to tactics, Draft is always void of the information that would inform tactics?

Newsflash: Running your 99's on streaks is not exactly an advanced tactic. Rudimentary intelligence, actually.

I never run streaks, even with a speed advantage my faster WRs never seem to outrun slower DBs and I get INTs

But I do l ike to know where my opponent has their better edge rushers, in case i want to spread outside the pocket

I also want to know if they have upgraded LBs which would influence my short pass game and know which LBs to avoid in the pass game and which to take advntage of

Also one draft..i got 2 rounds of QBs

And each of the 3 players was a QB, so its not l Ike I could take another position

.

The Mutmas draft, you got a 3 players of different positions, so you can more flexibility and could avoid having to repeat draft positions and waste a pick
