New Franchise Idea: Create Your Own OVR Formula

[cletusdog]

this is an incredible idea that would affect draft logic, free agency, 3-4/4-3 players, etc.
Team specific philosophies are huge in the NFL.
a few examples of drastic preferences:
-small fast DLinemen for the colts
-tall, possession receivers for the Jags
-Speed for most positions for the Raiders

i think this would be a really fun tool that added a lot to franchise immersion.

I definitely envision this being tied to coaches. And I would love the ability to assign different formulas to the CPU teams so that it will affect the players they look for in the draft and free agency.

I think this could add an amazing amount of customization and immersion to franchise.

Absolutely. When new coaches come into the coaching pool, you should have an option to assign them some preferences. This would be fun especially when the player coaches start rolling in, you could make your own combos, giving every coach their own mark.

NFL Head Coach '09 had basically this exact thing and it was awesome.

I have been a 2yr reader/follower of the forums here(great job guys). I am 34yrs of age, and have been playing Madden for the better part the last 15yrs. I dont usually post a lot, but i have to say to the ideas above = LOVE IT, absolulty love it. I am a franchise guy and if anything like this could be implemented in the near future, it would completely change my mind on the purchasing of Madden in the future.

I can see this being added to CPU logic, but for users, all it does is save time. Waste, in my opinion.
