1. Can players be injured in practice mode, that would cause them to miss games?

2. How in-depth / specitic are the sliders?

3. Would we have the ability to edit draft slots? Unless of course by some miracle they incorporated actual NFL tiebreeakers into the game, I just hate when team with best record picks last instead of the super bowl champion.

4. Would we have the ability to fix/edit contract numbers, similar to the freedom we had with XFN?

Thanks before hand!!!

Awareness is only useful for quarterbacks.

Really? I thought it was useful for cpu controlled defenders and blockers as well... That is unfortunate that it is a worthless rating.

Those actions are controlled by different ratings.

Then why is awareness so closely tied to a players overall? Not saying you are wrong, just saying it seems overall rating is severaly flawed.

Exactly why people like Emmdotfrisk and I have been telling people forever that overall isn't useful.

Well I knew it had its issues, but I didn't know awareness wasn't used for all but 1 position.

That's why my 3 star classes were always great on the field.

What is difference between PBF and PBS; and RBF and RBS?

Well worked for me as well. None of my NCAA guys had above 50 awr except for a few seniors lol

Ones footwork and ones strength, so I'm assuming footwork is how well an o linemen moves side to side and set up blocks while strength is how strong he is

I thought STR was how strong he is. LOL.

They effect success in their corresponding blocking type.

STR is how strong a guy is. But there is a difference between being able to bench 400 LBS and being able to hold a guy on a block. I realize that you were being fasicious, just quoted you when answering the question.

In M12, pbs, pbf, rbs and rbf were the main things I looked for in O-Linemen, along with Impact Blocking.

Shaun is correct. AWR only matter for the CPU AI, and user controlled QB's.

STR refers to strength, which is the success of other ratings when engaged.

Emmdotfrisk - can you explain how its possible for a player to come into the league (as a rookie) with a 95 CIT (catch in traffic) rating, but, a 60 Catch Rating?

Does that mean, he drops the easy ones and catches the ones where he has guys around him?

Logic?

It means he has Lebron syndrome.

It happens in real life. For what ever reason a guy concentrates more for the harder catches than an easy one over the middle. Or they try to make a play before ever catching the ball.

How is the CPU logic during player cutting phases of pre-season? Are they making smart cuts or do they still cut quality players to take chances on unknown rookies like they did in Madden 12?

Ever see Braylon Edwards play football?

Brandon Lloyd had that issue when he entered the league.

that touched me , in dark place ....... man I dislike that dude

Ditto.
