When you say soft, do you mean it goes to the floor if pressure is held on it? Spongy? Will pump up?

Yep, you could still have air in the lines and more specific the ABS control valves. You must use a scanner to open the valves when bleeding the brakes, please go over this video to help you see what I am talking about.
