is there a fix for massive shoulder pads on rookies?

Yes, as far as I know. I only use imported classes.

The most effective way to deal with it my experience is to simply go through the recruits and rename them.

I rename the first 3 rounds according the the current draft ratings - looking for appropriate height and weight for each. I draft the players regardless of their ratings and then change the ratings to match their draft position/assumed skill level.

This process takes a bit, but is well worth it imo as you get a class that looks great and has all the correct players.

Yes. I've yet to come across this issue with default/in game draft classes.

THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED ASAP IT IS RUINING THE GAME. THE NUMBERS EVEN LOOK UNREADABLE BECAUSE THEY ARE SO POINTY.ARE YOU KIDDING ME EA? I FEEL LIKE THEY DONT CARE ABOUT OFFLINE FRANCHISE PEOPLE. EVEN THOUGH WE ARE THE BULK OF THE PEOPLE BUYING THE GAME. MADDEN 11 WAS A MORE ENJOYABLE, COMPLETE PRODUCT. SHAME ON YOU EA. FINISH YOUR GAMES IN THE FUTURE. WE'RE PLAYING A FOOTBALL GAME WE WANT THE PLAYERS ON THE FIELD TO RESEMBLE REAL NFL PLAYERS, NOT TRANSFORMERS MOVIE FIGURES! IF THIS ISNT PATCHED I KNOW MANY PEOPLE THAT WILL RETIRE FROM MADDEN. INCLUDING ME.

I have been searching everywhere online and apparently there's no sure way to fix it. It ruins my franchise because i hate playing against teams with game generated rookies.

Yep, if you want a realistic franchise with real draft classes, you're out of luck. The shoulder pad/body distrubution issue(s) kill it.

Robert Griffin's body literally looked like Manute Bol in one of my classes. LaMichael James had legs the size of a left tackles at 185 pounds.

It kills it and it's hard to look past it.

Hate to say but using fake classes is the way to go this year.

Maybe EA knows by now that they need to seriously spend some time on their draft classes next year.

This is probably caused by bugs in the ncaa 12 draft class files, considering all the roster and editing bugs in that game this year. In NCAA 12 my 232 lb HB has toothpick arms, smaller arms than the kicker, and a 180 lb HB has an offensive lineman's head. Edit roster and on-field faces don't match, and editing cause all kinds of weird things to happen to players.

I'm guessing that most of us trying to import draft classes are using fully edited rosters too?
