Madden 16 CFM Draft: Biggest Freaks/Studs/Gems in

Might get some hate for saying this but that guy has the size to move to HB too! Basically a bigger Jamal Charles that breaks the game from the backfield. Just needs his Pass Block and Carrying upgrading.

Lol it took everything in me to not make that move, especially in our league... we play with 60 injury though so its probably for the best

Yeah, with 82 injury and injury slider set at 60, he would be out a few games every season most likely... that's only if anyone ever got close enough to hit him though :P He would break your league if your have 2 good OTs for big outside runs!

Yeah i think il run out of bounds and dive down often and just blow xps on injury rating for a bit... sucks though

W/r/t converting speedy players from WR to HB, are there certain scheme/position types that are most conducive to doing this?

I'm looking for the next Jamaal Charles, but the game doesn't produce HB with his level of explosion at the HB position, and I'm considering converting a drafted WR or perhaps even a DB if that's possible.

Speed receivers usually have lower quality catching attributes but explosive physical stats. Their size and strength is not usually great though.


Balanced receivers usually have better catching and blocking ability, slightly better size and strength but usually poorer physical stats and elusiveness than speed receivers.


There are "Freaks" in the draft classes, the previous post is a 6'2" 220lb Speed receiver with great catching ability. I have drafted 6'7" 340lb zone blocking RT before with freak physical ability and moved him to LT. The trick is to find the freaks if they're there.


Some already exist, Cordarrelle Patterson (Speed) turns into an awesome HB (84OVR-ish but with slow dev), but the probowl is buggy and generally only WR get picked to represent PR and KR so I keep him at WR for that.

Re: Madden 16 CFM Draft: Biggest Freaks/Studs/Gems in

Are there any QB gems that haven't 85+ speed?
It seems very unrealistic how many of these types are in the draft classes.
What about the classic Pocket Passer?

I don't have a screenshot of it, but the other day, I grabbed two QBs in the 6th round of my draft (I'm set at starting QB so I was just taking a couple developmental guys to serve as backups).

First guy I took ended up only being a 67 overall, but he has 98 THP and decent consistency (helps with how many XP points he earns). Unfortunately, his developmental trait is slow so he probably won't amount to much.

The second guy, however, ended up being a 78 overall as a rookie. Around a 92 THP with 87-90 short accuracy, around a 78 in medium accuracy, and somewhere in the 60s on deep. Only a 70 speed. Needless to say, I was pretty pumped to land him in the 6th.

I think I need house rules for my CFM drafts.

I end up getting like 3-4 super stars and rarely miss on a pick.

Seems like the AI picks blind and when you scout most the players you get a good sense on if its a bust pick or not. I might just let my self unlock the first rating and not all three.

My last draft

#1 77 RE 3-4 superstar
#2 83 OLB 3-4 superstar
#3 76 TE superstar
#4 82 QB 95 speed superstar
#5 79 WR quick progression 89 speed, 98 agility, 98 accell
#6 76 DB superstar
#7 79 RT

I've been through a handful of drafts and have never even come close to this. I've only ever been able to get 1 superstar in a given daft, and no more than 3 players who can contend for starting spots on a mediocre team. I've only ever drafted 1 surefire day one starter on a playoff team.

My strategy is that I only scout players that fit my scheme type and player type first. Once I've scouted all the exact matches, I start looking at player types that correspond to my ideal who might have a different scheme type.

I think this strategy produces really balanced drafts for the HUM player.

Problem is if you get the expert scout perk for your coach you end up with way too many points and it becomes too easy to scout.. I have had similar drafts as that person as well. Especially once that person posted the combine explanations and I scout the same as you scheme 1st then player type. I kinda wished I hadn't read it tbh.. I guess that could be a solution is to not get the Expert coach perk and go from there

Falcons offline CFM - now in year 3.

1st draft I got a TE out of Michigan - named Roberts, call him Gronk Jr. Got him with 1st round pick.
2nd draft I got a HB out of Ohio State that is awesome named Thomas Got him with 3rd round pick.

I broadcast all games on twitch, and use Josh's settings in slider forum.

Re: Madden 16 CFM Draft: Biggest Freaks/Studs/Gems in

In my last draft I was in need of some back up line backers. I just won the super bowl with the texans in the year 2021. So i traded my back up running back who was an 86 ovr and my 1st round pick for the 6th ovr. I took OLB cedric nunly, 6'2 229lbs. He was the #1 rated player and has an ovr of 87 right out of the blocks

I found one in my previous draft. 6'4 kid came in rated at 81. 70 speed, 80 acc, 65 agi. I have him as a backup right now to Carr in my OCFM and use him mostly in the 4th quarter of blowout games. He will be my starter next season due to him putting up pretty good stats. He is throwing to a 94 Cooper and 91 M. Bryant though.

It's nice to see some pocket passer but it seems that they are the exception and the dual threat QB's are the norm although it should be the other way around.

In my upcoming draft the top 5 QB's are all Strong arm and Pocket Passers. Doesn't mean they will be the highest OVR, but its a good sign

While I agree that the extreme (90+ speed) mobile QBs shouldn't be the norm, but mobile QBs in general? If you look at the past draft and upcoming draft, there are starting to be a lot more guys that can run around than the prototypical statue type QBs.
