Scouting Tool for Madden 17 CFM

Do you own Office 365 by any chance? Since the yellow read-only bar just tells me to sign in to create and edit documents (as I do not own Office 365).

Also really appreciate the help mate.

First real draft using thhis tool (not testing). I changed some of the criteria and my goal was 72 Ovr or better players. Here's how it went:

Rd 1 Pk 16
95.46 TVR (#1 Big Board)
10-14-2016_11-38-44_PM.jpg
This guy is a beast and was the one I wanted. He's gonna be so good.

Rd 2 Pk 16
89.46 TVR (#10 Big Board)

Was deemed a "Risky Pick" but his stuff was solid so I went for it. Glad I did.

Rd 2 Pk 18
87.81 TVR (#18 Big Board)
10-14-2016_11-38-08_PM.jpg
Another solid grab. Slow Dev sucks but he will still be a quility player.

Rd 3 Pk 16
88.25 TVR (#16 Big Board)
10-14-2016_11-39-40_PM.jpg
Solid grab in the 3rd Rd.

RD 4 Pk 12
81.86 TVR (#38 Big Board)
10-14-2016_11-39-17_PM.jpg
Weakest pick so far but still 71 Ovr. Still had great value on the pick and provided great depth.

Had a crap load of picks this draft. Will continue next post.

Draft Continued:

Rd 4 Pk 10(got out of order my bad)
84.62 TVR (#33 Big Board)
10-14-2016_11-39-24_PM.jpg
Another quality depth pick. Keeping that Oline stacked.

Rd 4 Pk 16
83.55 TVR (#36 Big Board)
10-14-2016_11-39-32_PM.jpg
Took a flier here and went with BPA. What a grab. This guy has everything and Superstar Dev. First Superstar I've drafted in 3 drafts so far. I loved this pick.

Rd 5 Pk 16
81.06 (#43 Big Board)
10-14-2016_11-39-00_PM.jpg
More quality depth for my Oline. Solid.

Rd 5 Pk 25
78.28 TVR (#56 Big Board)
10-14-2016_11-38-53_PM.jpg
Listed as "Risky Player" and my first real miss. Guy has some quilities and he's huge so he fits my Attacking 3-4 Defense.

Rd 5 Pk 28
78.60 TVR (#53 Big Board)
10-14-2016_11-38-21_PM.jpg
Was originally a SS but I switched him to FS. What a grab here. Didn't have many players left on my Board and just went for this guy. Good size, speed, and skills. Quick Dev as well. Love this pick.

Last 2 guys were a 71 Ovr C in the 6th Rd and a 67 Ovr DT in the 7th who the draft tool said don't draft but was the last fully scouted guy left on my Big Board. All in all it played out fantastic.

The tool definitely made that possible. As for Version 2 of the tool, that's awesome news! Can't wait to see and test out what you've implemented. I'm sure you'll discuss some of the additions/modifications. Anything along the lines of a less black-and-white Draft or Do Not Draft status? Looking forward to it either way.

Not doing the less black and white draft status thing this release sorry, concentrated on ironing out bugs and improving the accuracy of the TVR and draft status fields. I'll do a set of release notes when I post it up.

Yeah if you could post up the data with actual OVR again that would be fantastic. Good draft class. Interested in what changes you made to drop the requirement down to 72+ OVR as opposed to 75 as it is currently?

I work on getting you those Ovrs today. As for the tweaks I made here is what I did:
CFM Scouting Tool Tweaks.png

All yellow highlights I dropped down I believe one grade and the one green I upped one. In hindsight I'm not sure I should have upped the DT lowest rating because almost no DTs made it. Now it was a weak DT class but still. Then I tweaked a few of the combine stats by a little.

It worked pretty well. They down side to this is that since you have more guys who qualify there is no possible way to scout all positions. For me that's fine because if you only scout for those 75+ guys you will run out of players half way through the draft anyways. Some may not like that though. I was still able to fully scout 81 players but you just have to know what positions you really want to go after. Also waiting tell offseason to go after HB, WR, TE, DT, and CB isn't feasible anymore because it's just way to many players to try to scout in a short 3 week period even with weeding them down by combine data.

Nevermind, I just realized I was using the protected version.

Ive gotta wonder what type of person has the time on their hands to do something like punch in all the prospect info...but to each their own.
