Hi team!

The Madden community would love to see generic positions for draft prospects and free agents. I say the "Madden community" because I've read a lot of forums over the years and this topic is a pain point.

Programmatically, this shouldn't require a substantial revamp.

Here is the example. I'll list all offensive and defensive positions in the game. This is an important starting point to articulate this enhancement request.

QB

RB

FB

WR

TE

RT

RG

C

LG

LT

LE

DT

RE

ROLB

MLB

LOLB

CB

FS

SS

This specificity should only apply to a team's depth chart. Draft prospects and free agents don't need to be grouped into those specific categories. Those players should merely have these categories:

QB

RB

FB

TE

WR

OT

IOL

EDGE

IDL

LB

CB

S

For one, this is how draft analysts break down prospects so it's what the football universe is used to. But, I think the strongest argument is that it streamlines gameplay. If I'm looking for a tackle, I only have to look at one category. That's a more efficient approach to gameplay. This will drastically improve scouting, as well, because you don't have to scout two positions (RT and LT) when you want to look at all tackles.

Let the user decide where to place their players on the depth chart, but keep positions generic until players land on a roster.

Thank you!
