Random Fake UNFA's invading Franchise

The only way I'm going to get Andrew Luck is if I create a player in Madden 12 and call him 'Andrew Luck'. I'm pretty sure the guys I drafted in my first draft with the Cardinals were all fake too even though they had "real" faces. I don't see the big deal with the Fake UDFAs. Just sounds to me like people are finding something to complain about. Which is typical of Madden players.

You realize you can still download the actual draft class files from NCAA right? You don't need to play the actual game to get the classes.

The UDFA thing isn't a bad thing, it's just poorly designed. It would be better if NCAA draft classes didn't simply save a handful of players from each position like it does. It should save EVERY player leaving EVERY school. Madden could then generate the UDFA from the save files made up of real players.

Everyone wouldn't have a problem with it then.

How? Not once in 3 years of playing Madden has anyone ever asked me if I've downloaded the NCAA roster class for Madden nor have I seen any one saying they've done so (outside of NCAA players).

No one has provided a link saying "Guys, if you don't want to buy NCAA, here's a link for the official roster class that you can download for Madden."

I'm pretty sure members of this site load their files, all you need is a flash drive to transfer them.

Right. I'll give it a shot.

Yes they would. The problem is that in Madden they would still not sign the higher rated veteran and sign the 40 overall rated undrafted QB from Eastern Michigan. The problem is with the logic as much as the UDFA. I don't think as many people would mind if the UDFA QB was rated 75 and was a legit backup. But not signing a FA 79 overall veteran for a backup and having 2 40 rated UDFA backups is killing the game.

Exactly!

Thats why I think they should patch the game to do this;

What I mean by that is allow the CPU to decide who to cut based on the real OVR rating of a player instead of the "90?" OVR rating. This way when the CPU see's a 40/OVR-D/POT player as "90?" they will know his true OVR is 40 and will cut him instead of real players who are rated higher. Either of these 2 methods would not be difficult to patch in, and would simply be a band-aid fix untill next year. I personally prefer method #2. Any thoughts?

The only thing is Im not sure how to communicate that to EA... or if they are even aware of this thread...

I realize that, but the logic can likely be patched. If the UDFA's in the game were real players from the draft classes not generated ones it would make the game a lot better.

There is a huge difference between "Can Be" and "Will Be" patched. On top of that your scenario only has real players for the first 4 years of NCAA drafts, correct? It would still be a problem.
