Um, the problem is that your competition has information that gives them an advantage when drafting.

In all reality, I didn't think it through... but to be fair the only guys I play online with have our parameters for fairplay set up clearly in advance. It just seemed a foreign concept that cats just randomly play guys they can't trust.

My bad.

First off, the poll question is obviously loaded.

Second off, anyone who actually could pull off over 30 years on current gen Madden franchise would shock me considering the pile of suck that franchise is right now.

I loved NFL Head Coach 09 and part of the fun was that the classes had some character. I think if you do pre-made, the order of which a class appears should be random.

Also, I wouldn't be opposed to random generation if the generations weren't so HORRIBLY flawed like they were in past Maddens. One of the biggest reasons that Head Coach ruled despite a number of flaws was that the Draft was INCREDIBLY fun and probably the most exciting part of a season.

So which is it - you don't have faith in EA's ability to make dynamic engines capable of similar quality as hand made results, or is there something I'm missing about hard coded outcomes which makes it superior?

auto generated for me 100%......Or pre-made but 100% random....Meaning no set draft class (ie The "ENGLISH" stud class)....

What i mean is the players themselves would be Pre-Made, but the classes themselves would be 100% random.

Wow, the guy makes a good point and someone calls him a troll.

It's just a few simple algorithms. The silly part about this all is the fact these predetermined classes were generated anyway. I remember distinctly Ian or another one of the EA reps here mentioning they had an Excel spreadsheet with formulas etc making all these classes. Uhh?? put those formulas into the game.

Nza, your work on madden PC was amazing.
