Scouting & off-season Draft (stupid question)

[BoltThrower74]

I FINALLY went through and completed my first full season in M16 and had a question on scouting through your season. When you scout, and there's a diamond next to the fully-scouted player that mentions their actual vs projected round, what do the colors signify? Does a green diamond signify a "good" scouted player while "red" is one you shouldn't draft?

I believe green means after scouting they are confirmed to be either their expected value or a higher value (gem). if its red, they are confirmed to be lower value then they were originally projected. (bust)

for example a 3rd round projected player whos scouted and true value becomes a 4th rounder, will have a red diamond. if you scouted him and he turned out to be a 3rd round or better player, it would be green.

thats my understanding of it.

It still can be so far off it really doesn't matter.

Can sumone tell me what ratings a players scouting combine results translate into?..

I did not even realize there were two different colored diamonds until I read your post. Why does Madden have to keep making it hard on red-green color-blind people? Almost 10% of the male population is red-green color blind.

A diamond as a bad symbol doesn't even make any sense. No matter what color the diamond is its always viewed as a positive. Why not have a diamond for a player that is better than originally projected and another symbol, like a Stop sign, for busts?

This is the best thing I could find, sorry page managers for it being from another forum...http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/list/10354056.page

Thanks, for the replies guys. Guess we won’t know for certain until EA decides to tell us. I guess it makes sense for green to be a gem, even if they’re projected before or later than their draft spot. Here’s hoping anyway!

Thanks again.
