Custom Draft Classes Officially in M19

Re: Custom Draft Classes Officially in M19

If this feature is setup well, I was looking into creating a legends draft class. That sound corny or anyone interested in that?

I've seen people discuss historical draft classes and using pre-made custom rosters to start a season in with the 1982 rosters, then use the 1983 historical draft class to draft guys like Elway, Marino, Dickerson, or any other HoF from that class.

I think it could be successful.

I was actually going to do just one draft class with all legends not a specific year. But now ya got me thinking!

Re: Custom Draft Classes Officially in M19

Since the news broke about Custom Draft Classes, I have been working on a system that take NCAA FOOTBALL 14 players and give them accurate ratings to what EA has done for rookies in the past. And more accurate than taking the NCAA FOOTBALL 14 class and importing that into Madden 25 and then copying ratings. It is more accurate than that because remember AJ McCarron being a 97 overall? and then he was a 6th round pick and in Madden 15 was a 73 overall? What I did for my system was I compared ratings for a college player in NCAA Football 14 to their Madden NFL 15 ratings as a rookie. I calculated a lot of numbers and figured out that if you take their Madden NFL 15 ratings and apply the ratings conversion I have made, it makes them believable NFL Rookies. My system has taken each position, each play type, and has even gone as far as to separate the rating systems for each round. I still have a long way to go and I want to expand on the idea. if anyone has Madden 15 and NCAA Football 14 and would like to help me gather data that would be very much appreciated. I should have this feature tested and available August 1st. I will also update it to accommodate for Madden NFL 19 (If changes are needed).

Re: Custom Draft Classes Officially in M19

i get why sim players want the feature, my argument is unless you have no bias at all, rookies will be skewed because of personal likes , dislikes of other teams etc. my logic is either take base roster as is, or use PFF and ratings get lower but mean more assuming the engine utilises ratings as they are not plays regardless of ratings.

to those who update rosters i salute you, if you create a draft class that is as representative of a class i applaud. my biggest wish is that the draft classes were more representative and had variance by year out of the box otherwise everyone is doing what EA should do in the base code. how you relate PFF of current players and incoming draft class i have no idea.

apologies if im not sold on this as most of you are i would have preferred something else but the majority wins and thats fine, i just wont be using it. for those of you that will have fun and enjoy its been a longtime wishlist item.

What if I told you this was kind of futile because you don't have all the information you'd need to create Madden 19 players yet?

New ratings confirmed ?🤔

Re: Custom Draft Classes Officially in M19

Anyone have any information on the execution of custom draft classes? Specifically, is there going to be a file that we will be able to edit outside of the console? If we have to edit inside CFM this isn’t going to be fun at all.

We should be able to find out sometime next week, according to the schedule.

That would be amazing if this was enabled similar to the way Teambuilder for NCAA was.

If we had the ability to create these through the EA/ Madden/ CFM, it would take only a couple of days to create real draft classes (with equipment taking the longest)

Yeah, I'm taking some time to analyze past draft classes on PFR to ensure realistically balanced classes, but I'll need to see M19 rosters before I really know how it translates.

The attributes really haven't changed since Madden 15

Other than someone like T4Vert getting a dev to go over a little of the functionality in an interview, I wouldn’t expect too much detail to be revealed until made available for play.

EA Play is not set up to allow anyone to venture outside of Play Now games.
GC’s/Comp Players that do get some alone time are also restricted from venturing outside what EA wants to highlight.

I just really hope and pray that editing one player at a time is still not what editors will be forced to do.
- editing system as a whole is not user friendly

Re: Custom Draft Classes Officially in M19

I am really hoping that few things happen with the Custom Draft Classes.

First: I hope they are shareable. This is essential really. This then leads to the next one.

Second: You make them in the "Main Menu." Now some of you have suggested the possibility of an outside of the game function like the teambuilder. While that would be AWESOME, I simply do not think EA will go that route.

Third: Since draft classes need FULL customization, I want that to provide full roster customization in the Main Menu.

Now I am not really that optimistic, but that is my hope.

I would love to be able to make one of my season rosters and then create a series of draft classes to go with the roster.

I think you may be missing the point of his statement
