Easy fix for this (easy as in simplicity, not sure how easy it would be to program into the game) - give each draft prospect 3 or more different possible names, and have it be a dice roll in the background as to which name is chosen for him. For example, "Prospect 1" could have a name of either Josh Smith, Brian Williams, or Teddy Westside.

To further mix things up, every player could have a +/- 2 for his attributes, also controlled by dice roll. Now, a player with a standard 95 strength, 90 Pass block, 90 Run Block won't be so identifiable by attributes because it could look like 97/88/89, or 93/89/89, or any other number of options.

Sure, there will still be guys with recognizable names like JJ Smoke from a couple years ago who everyone will know is a stud if you happen to get that name (a 1/3 chance if you use my example from above). But it would be much harder to create entire draft sheet cheats if there are 3+ possible name outcomes and different attribute combinations for every player. And, although I am not a game programmer by any means, dice rolls are essentially how we play madden anyway, so I don't imagine it's hard to add them in this instance.

With guys named KNOWshon Moreno, Dri Archer and Charcandrick West, Madden isnt too far off with rookie names. Stretch to Major League Baseball and you run into Coco Crisp.

Re: Madden Rookies - Can I PLEASE Just Change the Horrible Names?!

Now that I think about it, drop downs could work with names/appearance characteristics that are already in the game.
- Data base of F/L names
- height/weight
- skin color
- college
- age
Etc...

This would work because ID's aren't being manipulated.

I've always wished they would incorporate a global rating function like in NBA Live 10.
Just +/- from a rating for the position as a whole.

I really do hope CFM is the focus for M17, then everything else branches off of it.

Goofy names are the best. I drafted a DE this year and his name is JESUS HEARD.



JESUS HEARD ABOUT YOUR QB SON
JESUS HEARD THAT SNAP COUNT
JESUS HEARD THE CROWD ROARIN'

Re: Madden Rookies - Can I PLEASE Just Change the Horrible Names?!

If this is not something they add this year to CFM, I have a feeling we are never going to see it...

Especially with CFM being such a "high priority" this year.

I just hope their priorities are in-line with the OS communities'.

I'm just tired of being spoon fed things that I don't care about, or having little features be over-hyped.

Just give us what we had in Madden 12, ability to fully edit rosters, and that will be enough of an improvement to make me happy for another year.
