Franchise Scouting - Just sort players by potential

[uncsoulja]

Ok, I know I can't be the first one to notice this? Does EA care at all about this? Nothing like sucking the fun out of scouting when all you have to do is >>scout players>>highlight player potential>>hit x once (sorts with lowest potential at top)>> hit x again (sorts with highest potential at the top). Now you can see every single high potential player that will be a late round sleeper, etc. I know, I know, I just should avoid doing it but kinda kills the fun once you know it is there..

They cant make everything perfect really just set your own house rules that prevent you from doing stuff that ruin the realism/fun for you

Didn't last years game have players that had like A potentials but were drafted as 65 - 70 overalls? Potential just means the player has the ability to improve greatly and become a starter (if they aren't one already).

I get what you are saying as far as how it kind of kills scouting. But in a franchise (if you play more sim style) if a guy is great as far as potential but doesn't fit your system then you don't get him (unless your my boys and draft Tebow... lol). But I know that since my buddy and I run a 3-4 offline coop franchise that if we saw a de that had an A potential but only weighed 242, we probably wouldn't draft him.

Madden is still not smart enough with their moving of players to other positions. I know players have to learn a different system, but in the game there is no way you should have a DE at that weight with A potential and 83 overall fall to like a 70 or 72 when you convert them to outside linebacker.

Anyway, yea this kind of stinks but keep that in mind about potential. You still may have one of those 5th or 6th rounders become a lower overall when they start. They might just have some of the high core attributes. Your current starters still may be better.

Maybe it's just me trying to look around it... either way, the game is still fun in franchise.

Or you could draft him and make him an OLB

He kind of has a point, there's not really much "input" to give. Some people would be annoyed if they couldn't do this, your annoyed you can. I say leave it in and just don't use it if you don't want to.

The option to just turn the game onto rookie difficulty is there as well, but you probably manage to restrain yourself from doing that. Same thing here.

why do i have to work for EA because I am not on the bash EA bandwagon??? i just think that some of the complaints that we are hearing are becoming petty, and this one you have to actually perform this yourself so all I was saying was show some restraint and not hit the sort button twice.
