With the #25 I can't help but wonder if the series will be renamed to just NFL 15 the following year???

Freaking lame. Imported draft classes better back tho. That was disappointing to have that taken out.Along with RTG guy from NCAA.

Don't expect to see importing back. The Madden team worked too hard on draft stories. Imported classes would make draft stories impossible.

I don't think stories is the big reason it got dropped. They could take the imported class and still add the draft story guys in. While the draft story guys would be random and may annoy some of the import guys I think it would be a very good compromise.

I think the bigger problem is the effect on scouting. The Madden draft classes all have their scouting and hidden attributes and extra stuff like schemes in there. Some of the attributes and definitions are not in the NCAA game and if you also know the draft class EA may not like how that affects their scouting system.
