The addition of roster sharing is awesome to see. Even if it’s not something I cared about and will probably never use, I know it was a huge request so it’s really nice to see it get in.
I will have to wait and see on Thursday how it all plays out, after seeing the deep dive I think it’s a bit of a mixed bag. I’m so glad they revamped coaching and have X Factors be a big part of chemistry so that it doesn’t seem so random now, I just hope the mode isn’t solely focused on finding those X Factors and everybody that doesn’t have one is as useless as certain players were in previous years. Will AI GM’s actually take this into consideration and at least attempt to build a team that makes a little sense?
It’s definitely a cool factor for drafting as now there might actually be a certain player you target for every pick depending on their X Factor instead of past years when there wasn’t really anything separating players that are ranked closely together. I just hope it’s not another tedious task to manually scout it and at the end of the day potential and a players x factor is all that matters when drafting with no other changes to players that don’t have it. Does this mean it will be even easier to grab gems in late rounds
Overall, I am happy for the roster sharing guys and it continues to show that EA has listened to their customer base this year maybe more than ever and I’m glad they changed how chemistry works, I just personally would have preferred if they focused on improving and adding depth to some other features of the mode. No matter what the roster looks like if AI GM's are still dumb as nails, trades and signings have no depth and prospect development isn’t a big factor, the mode will still have a lot of the stale problems that it has for years.
