Madden 21: 10 Ways EA Can Improve Franchise Mode
6. Revamped Scouting
If we're going to add position coaches, there's no reason why we can't hire scouts who actually do something. A much more in-depth scouting department would be amazing.
Similar to how we can send out regional scouts in FIFA, imagine being able to direct a scout to observe offensive linemen in the midwest and another to scout receivers in the south. Your scouting department will give you updates on what school they chose, how they're progressing in their college careers (indications if they will declare early), and ultimately give you enough detail to make the decision on drafting them.
Basically, we should be able to track Trevor Lawrence and Justin Fields as high school phenoms out of Georgia. Then get updates on how Lawrence took over as starting QB at Clemson while Fields transferred to Ohio State and now both of them will be Heisman hopefuls. We'll then have better indications on which of them we should be considering with our #1 draft pick.
