Having issues uploading a zip file. Weird. That's never happened before. Anyways I'll get it to you another way. As for my draft. I did an expansion set up so I had the #1 overall pick and went with the #1 ranked player on the board who was a beast of a RE named Cooper who was 82 ovr. Passed on a guy I knew could be my franchise QB (Incognito aka Peyton Manning but faster) and he was 85 Ovr lol. Happy with my DE but damn man.

Re: Madden 18 CFM Scouting Tool

Side note. I think putting in a check that WRs with a UD talent rd should be set to do not draft. That seems to be pretty apparent that if it's UD they are garbage even if their scouted attributes are excellent. But this year some guys who just miss the 40 yard dash or shuttle/3 cone benchmark turn out pretty damn good but come up with a red chip classification and lower rank.

Also the IBK check for G/C doesn't seem to matter anymore. Those are my main observations for my last draft.

So, whats more important: TVR or Red/Blue Chip status? I find a lot of the times a Red Chip player’s TVR is higher than a Blue Chips and their Talent Rd is higher too?

I’m in a 32 User CFM and trying to develop a big board.

Re: Madden 18 CFM Scouting Tool

Thanks guys for the data!

@tdawg yeah that’s a check I’ve got in the new version already. It’s sorted out the vast majority of the problems at WR. RZT wideouts are still iffy though, so only draft green diamonds at that archetype. The new version sorts it all out though.

@mission01, easiest way is to PM a link to Dropbox, onedrive, google drive, wherever.

@gamebreaker I’d say for v5 of the tool, stick with TVR mainly. The current version was released with a fairly limited data set to derive blue and red checks, so there are problem positions currently. But TVR is still sound.

Also, may help, here are screens of the players I drafted:

That’s an awesome haul for a 32 man draft! Glad the tool helped!

None of the rows have the OVR for the player filled in... did you mean to upload this version?

Re: Madden 18 CFM Scouting Tool

I need a little advice. i will have my first draft on sunday (32 user league).

I own the following picks in the first two rounds: 8, 12, 26, 53, 58
Maybe i get pick 29 in a trade today.

I'm HC of the Browns. Did a lot of trades before season start und get some good players in FA.

Main-Needs: OT and OG (maybe a third Oliner), WR, (CB)

I'm not going to pick a CB in the first 2 rounds. I'm going to change my secondary to a more physical playstyle. I found some prototypes/run support guys mid/late rd. i want to develop.

So i have to decide which player i want to pick when.

Info: There were no Draftstories for Heisman and Allstargame

Did you get my link the the draft file in my post? I know I edited it in and it's easy to miss at the bottom. Just want to make sure you got the data.
