I’ve been paying some attention to Madden coverage. A poster at OS/MM with an early copy posted the 1st two rounds of the draft in Madden, as exported from NCAA. The first round had 9 QBs picked and no offensive lineman. A 10th QB (with an overall rating of 71) was picked before the first two lineman (who each had an overall rating of 90). It looks like draft logic in Madden is the same as in years past (little taking account of need, overrating skill players).

However, Bill Abner has been posting his impressions of the draft in NFL Head Coach, and that looks much better. When reading impressions of Head Coach, the inner pessimist in me keeps waiting for the other shoe to drop in the form of a major AI glitch, or the discovery of a money play, or something similar. But so far, no news of anything like that. (Although I really hope that play creation doesn’t lead to unbalanced gameplay.) So far, I’m hoping that the good news continues.
