Madden Draft Class Database - Operation Sports Forums

Thanks to everyone who’s been jumping in as early users of the OS app! We’ve put together a new user feedback and feature request survey and we’re asking folks on iOS and Android to share their thoughts, ideas and any issues they’ve noticed. The goal is to help guide upcoming improvements and give the community a real say in what comes next.

If you’ve been using it regularly, this is a great chance to let the developers know what feels good and what could use a little work. Your feedback has a real impact on what we prioritize moving forward.

For those of you who haven’t had time to check out the app yet, we’d love for you to give it a try and send over any feedback once you’ve spent some time with it.

Thank you.

Madden Draft Class Database

12-03-2009, 06:04 PM

I wrote a program to extract all the info from

404 Error: Page Not Found - GameFAQs

http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/xbox360/file/958701/57545

404 Error: Page Not Found on GameFAQs

and put it into a database so i could search the players I'm drafting easily.

The problem is that it's only the top few guys from each position in each draft. Also, right now there are no ratings and stuff, just the players name/position/potential/class that they come out.

Would anyone be interested in being able to log in to a site and update the info so we can have a completely searchable database of all the ratings, all the players, all the potentials for all 32 draft classes?

It would take about a day for me to finish the site. And however long it takes for us to put the info in would depend on how many people wanted to help.

Of course, all the info would be public. Just the editing of the info would require a login (which I will provide).

Also, I'm not going to do this unless there is substantial support, cuz what I've got now works quite nicely

Re: Madden Draft Class Database

I must add that the real benefit of us doing this would be to get a peak into how Madden overall ratings are calculated.

I wrote a program that can learn (a neural network for those who care), and i would simply need data to train the network. I don't have time to actually put in all the data.

Basically:

when you draft a ROLB that is a 72 overall, why is he a 90 overall DE? It's pretty obvious why, but I'm talking about being able to figure out exactly what his ratings need to be to make him a 90 overall DE.

The beauty of this is that you would be able to enter any player's ratings on the site, then select a position and it will tell you what his Overall rating would be.

I know there will be some people who say stuff like "ohhhh it's more fun to just guess when you're drafting" and/or "it's better to not switch players positions". Well I say, it's more fun to go 17-0 for 10 straight years in a completely simulated franchise then export the best teams you create and play them against each other.

I've used this before, love it. My two favorite drafts are Cooper Reno and Kris Steven-Baker.

Re: Madden Draft Class Database

Yeah, I'd also like to be able to use the database to be able to figure out which draft class is best for any position.

Basically, you would pick a the draft name of the class for the season your in and be able to see which position is strongest that year and which position is weakest. Then you can make trades/cuts accordingly.

I know you can just look at the link I posted and scroll and figure it all out. But I'm lazy (since that is the first requirement to becoming a developer) and I want the computer to do all the work for me.

Re: Madden Draft Class Database

My gameplan is to stockpile picks for the first draft (Cooper Reno) because everyone I want is in the first 3 rounds.

The second draft (Kris Steven-Baker) I can make all my selections from the 2nd to 7th round.

Here is my gameplan...

Cooper Reno Draft

QB- Darius Pryor (2nd)
FB- J.R. Meyers (3rd)
WR- Jamelle Lucas (2nd)
TE- Karron Cousins (1st)
LG- Trae Harris (3rd)
C- Travis Adams (3rd)
MLB- Dexter Foley (2nd)
ROLB- Wendell Tarver (2nd)
ROLB- Domisa Bomani (1st)
SS- J.J. Collins (1st)

Kris Steven-Baker Draft

TE- Darius Davis (7th)
LG- Mike Franklin (5th)
C- Charles McGriffin (6th)
RG- Anderson Copper (4th)
RT- Kameel Adams (4th)
LE- Vonteego Cross (2nd)
LOLB- Keron Drovin (4th)
MLB- Jahmar Sweeley (3rd)
CB- Quan Henry (2nd) * Complete lockdown corner (favorite rookie)
SS- Moe Biggers (Undrafted) So I draft him in the 7th.

Exactly what my cousin and I do.

Vonteego is a BEAST!!! I love that guy! And Quan is the best CB in all drafts IMO. 99 speed and a freaking stud in every category. And I always draft Moe Biggers...just sucks that hes 24 and I have to dump him after his 7 year contract is up (30 is too old for me except at QB)

Yea Quan is by far my favorite, lockdown corner for 8/9 years. I'm starting to love the QB Darius Pryor and WR Jamelle Lucas combo. Pryor has an 88 trucking as a QB and Lucas has a 90 trucking at WR.

Vonteego I might actually move to DT and see how he does there.

These two classes make me smile

Put Phillip Okafor (RB from the Devin Sarra Draft) with him and you have a 94 SPD/85 STR halfback to dump the ball off to as well

For my 3rd draft class I was debating which draft class I wanted for a HB...

Phillip Okafor

Boar Jackson (kinda leaning towards him)

Jelani Okoye

LeRon James

Ozzie Jones

Boar is injury prone though. Ozzie Jones has that 99 speed, but hes only got a 57 strength. I like guys that can run people over, then outrun everyone else....sorta like Adrian Peterson, but even he can't out run them all.

Here is another pic of A potential RB's organized by speed:

From what it looks like, CC Beachum is a HAUS.

I'm liking the looks of LeMarcus Taylor as well... plus he would come cheap as a 4th/5th rounder.
