Re: What\'s the NFL Draft like in ESPN\'s 2k series???
Since I play a lot of text simulation football games like Front Office Football and Total Pro Football, I was very disappointed with the NFL Draft in 2k4. It felt very unexciting. But my biggest problem with it was the interface for it was VERY cumbersome. If you were scouting players by position you could only see 5 names at a time, and you had to scroll right to even see all the information on them. If that wasn't bad enough, the biggest gripe I had was that once you chose a player to scout, it sent you back to the list of all players instead of letting you stay at the position you were scouting. Hopefully this problem was taken care of this year.
Also, I felt that many incoming rookies were rated far too highly. I saw rookie running backs rated as high as 93. Also, cornerbacks came into the league with pass defense ratings that made them far too effective as rookies. I felt there were too many super quick players as well. And finally, and no offense to anyone, but it seemed that every fifth player that was generated had a Latin name. According to the Franchise Q & A incoming rookie ratings have been reworked for this years game. I am really hoping the draft process is greatly improved this season because it truly is the lifeblood of any franchise mode.
