Future Classic Rosters?

[scitychamps87]

Here's an idea for one. I think a historic roster for a year before a pivotal draft class in NFL history is interesting.

For example, a 2003 roster could be fun because you're right before the 2004 QB class.

If you pair a historic roster with custom historic draft classes, things get fun. Obviously a huge undertaking. But could be fun.

I have also been looking at 1990 and 1992. I have even thought about revisiting 1999. Overall, not sure and not stuck on any of those necessarily.

1988 or 2000

I really struggle to play Madden for very long with modern rosters. I just cannot stay interested over the long haul. I am not sure why that is really, but I just struggle to even play through a single season in franchise with just one team. I am getting M20. After playing the beta, I saw enough improvement in gameplay that I think it is worth it. What I am not sure about is classic rosters. I have already started a couple of other rosters on M19 (though very little done in game at this point) and I might finish those up. I am playing a wait and see with classic rosters on M20. It partly depends on playbook creation.

Great conversations here. I know you said you had started some other classic rosters on M19, the one I really loved that you made for M18 was 1995 - would be great to be able to play a mid-90s roster in M19 with a draft class the year after. I plan on sticking with M19 this year. EA does not care enough about us classic gamers to ever allow import rosters or franchise import/carryover like The Show has, so I am not keen on giving them my $ each year anymore. I would be happy to work with you on a mid-90s roster again like we did a few years back (M17 perhaps?)

We might just do that again! Currently, I have a 1999 roster started where I have most of the players, except the NFC West, renamed and numbered. However, I have done no ratings or equipment on them. I also started a 1990 roster and I have a couple of divisions completed, but have not started the others at all.

I am not sure what direction I want to go yet. My time is limited at the moment, so I do not plan on doing much on Madden 19 right now. Little League Football is getting ready to start up, I am also an assistant with the high school football and we have some scrimmages coming up, plus a youth camp. And to top it all off, my mother-in-law is very ill and been in the hospital since mid-June and just took a severe turn for the worse. Sooo, I am being pulled in several direction currently.

Send me an email and we can more easily discuss plans that way.

Have any draft classes actually been made for any past years yet? Just trying to catch up here.
