Madden 12 Imported Rookie Profile Pictures

[Dylan Marshall Swb]

From the screenshots I've seen, it looks like Madden 12 will be using real people in its player picture for generated rookies. What kind of profile picuture will the imported rookies from NCAA have? Is it going to be the computer faces like in Madden 11, or is it going to be a random real person based on skin color, hair style & color, and weight?

Probably the latter I would imagine.

Yeah it's going to use the real faces, it picks the skin color based off the numbers from NCAA. I'm not sure if Madden will remember which faces it has used for that years draft class, so we might see more duplicates than in the premade classes.

Apparently they have unique faces for every player with a Potential over an (85?) in all 30 years of the classes, except for 6 or 7 linemen. They didn't get enough big guys.

Ill probably only import classes from NCAA for the first 2 or 3 years (just to add some of the up and coming college prospects....then Ill switch to Madden generated, which IMO, are alot more enjoyable anyway due to the scouting needed and all.

But one question...if it is true that all prospects with 85 and over potential have pictures....wouldnt it be too simple to tell which players are going to be the better ones?

I hope there is more to it than that.

I thought they said that player names and ratings change each time or something like that? I'm probably wrong.

Still premade players, but I believe names/colleges are randomized. I know for FACT names are, unsure on colleges.

I'd have to believe the colleges are random as well. That just seems like something too ridiculous to forget to change.
