It's amazing to me (and pretty disappointing) to see how basically nothing has changed.
The draft classes ****.
There are literally NO new features (that I've seen).
Position related skills seem to still have NO impact on a player's performance.
etc, etc.
As it was way back then, speed is the only thing that matters. The only way to get speed at the important positions is to get very lucky in the draft, or pay outrageous amounts to a FA that becomes available because the team is managed by the AI or a non-active owner.
It actually has become much easier to succeed if you completely sell out towards speed....players with +90 speed but overall ratings in the 30s 40s and 50s are available via the draft and free agency and they outperform 70s and 80s rated players with positional attributes but no speed.
I've watched certain owners dominant with garbage (first glance) rosters full of WRs and CBS.
Example.....
Find an 80 speed LDE....change him to a CB....he loses a ton of weight....nears 90 speed....and there is your starting MLB....ETC ETC ETC
