If that 27k is from one season I'd say you're fine to keep it at quick. On my defenders I want to become stars I always go for play recognition and awareness first then position ratings

it's from three seasons. i'll be extending him in week one of the coming season and will then be spending the XP.

Re: Madden 16 Q/A thread

Getting ready to head into my first CFM draft with other players. How close do players get drafted compared to their projected round?

There is a qb I am looking at that has a 3rd round projection and I have an early and a late second.

There is also a CB projected in the 5th but he is a combine Stud. What rounds should I expect the cpu to take these guys?

I don't have to worry about too many of the users drafting these guys. Most of them traded their picks for established players.

very much depends. there is a good randomness to the draft. i had a 4th round projected QB go in the very early second.

if there is a guy you really want, take him a round early - especially if you are drafting towards the end of a round.

Kind of what I thought. Probably going to take him early in the second so he doesn't get away. Maybe I'll take the 5th round corner in the 3rd. I have a 3 2nds a a third and an early 4th. I don't mind taking guys really early cause I think they are the cream of the crop.

Re: Madden 16 Q/A thread

Why does it say LOS on the scoreboard if you move a team to Los Angeles? shouldn't it be LA? anyway to fix this?

so, i ended up using them on his attributes. raised his block shedding and power moves to 99 and added some to his AWR/PRC. his OVR is now 96.

prior to this, i extended him to a six year $25m deal. He asked for way less and this was the most i could get him to accept.

i try to stick to the round they're projected as much as possible and it keeps things realistic and prevents me from stock piling great players. that said, once it get to the 4th round, i believe that most actual NFL prospects' projections are fluid and in the eye of the beholder. the giants may see prospect X as a 7th round guy but the cowboys may think he's a 4th round pick.

i only draft guys that fit my schemes (WCO & B34) so it forces me to let top prospects go elsewhere.

U would need somebody to post it then download to USB then load it into your ps4.

U don't have access to Internet???

Because if so all u have do is go into Madden and load up rosters that way.

I have internet but you have to sign into the router and then sign into a login page but you cant open the web browser to do that on the ps4 without being connected to PSNetwork. its a vicious cycle. but yes, if I could get a website or something to where I can just grab and go that would be great. I'm playing with a brand new ps4 and new game with no update....you have no idea what I'm going through.

Re: Madden 16 Q/A thread

Had a question about game prep....not the drills you can go through, but how to prep against the team I'm up against next. Is there a way to see what % run vs pass they do, or who has been having a good season or what defenses they typically run? It seems I spend most of the first half trying various things and getting burned then having to come back in the 2nd half from down multiple scores.

Re: Madden 16 Q/A thread

When viewing your drafted players after the draft in Rookie Signings, there is a rating each player has when you scroll over that says "Importance".

I haven't seen this rating listed or talked about anywhere. Does anyone know what it means and if it affects the player or not?

This is an ancient carry over from Maddens long gone (it's in Madden 2000 for instance). It means importance to the team, so a 99 IMP rated quarterback used to mean that if they got injured, retired or traded then it could decrease morale of the other players (when Madden used to have morale). It used to affect ability to trade for players... like if you were to try and trade for JJ Watt it's next to impossible as he is likely a 99IMP player, unless you traded a 1st round pick and 2 super dev high IMP players also. I don't know how it influences Madden 16 as you can't see the IMP rating after the draft or for current players. Typically high round pics and high OVR rookies have higher IMP ratings and sometimes higher Personality/Popularity ratings. Higher IMP could also be linked to position, so a guard might have lower IMP than a similar rated WR.

There is apparently so much junk code, unused code and mysterious code left over in Madden as it carries over from year to year and that is why odd things happen in game.
