About the Development Trait

The new "Potential" rating for Madden 13 is now called "Development." This guide lists all rookies that have slow, fast or star development, and all storyline players separately. If a player in your draft is not listed in this guide, you can generally assume that they are Normal (Avg) development. If you have trouble understanding this guide, your development may be "slow."

Storyline Players

Storyline players will have variable attributes based on the story arc they follow throughout each particular Connected Career. Initially, we only have data for one or two of those possible story arcs for each player, so you may need to scout those players on your own until we receive enough feedback to account for most or all of the possible outcomes for each player. We would appreciate help with this in order to make the guide complete for those particular players.

Draft Class Order

The order of the draft classes this year is always the same. The starting point, however, is random. When you create a new CCM, it will randomly select one of the 30 draft classes to start with and then proceed in the order that we have them listed. For example, if your first draft class is #8 in the guide, your next class will be #9, followed by #10 and so on, until it loops completely around.

Re: ** SPOILERS ** Madden 13 Draft Class Guide

We are posting this guide before being completely finished because people wanted to use what we had. Currently we have more than half of the guide completed but should have most of the storyline players listed. Search the guide for a couple storyline players in your draft to see if its been added. The rest of the guide should be completed in the next few days.

Re: ** SPOILERS ** Madden 13 Draft Class Guide

Seeing as how Madden tried to make it so it was hard to create draft guides this year, I am curious about the method that you used to evaluate the players. For example, what happened if a storyline player dropped out of the draft? Did you restart the current season? Another question is when did you take note of a player's projected draft position (it changes throughout the season for some players)?

**I'm not staying I do or don't support the guide, just curious as to how you went about its creation**

i just came to this realization last night. i thought since the first draft was random they all were.

kinda wish they were all random and the players names were randomized to make drafting a little harder -- if i so wish (yes, sometimes it's nice to "know" who the players are in a draft but once i get my core guys (QB, running back, FS, etc.) i kinda want a bit of a hit and miss challenge.

thanks.

^^^ Slow dev

Really? can you not read? He said in the very beginning that story line players have different out comes based on the Arc f there storyline. right now they may only have one or two but will adjust as more knowledge is gained. he also says for storyline players you should SCOUT them yourself! If you use the guid for all other player you should have enough points to fully scout story line players

Honestly I am sorry from being mean but what is so difficult to understand? Read before you criticis

Re: ** SPOILERS ** Madden 13 Draft Class Guide

Quick question. I currently have the Zach Richmond draft and in the guide it states Jordan Parks is in the same draft. I do not see him on the draft list. Under Zach Richmonds story lines one story stated Zach is better than Parks. Is this a glitch that Parks isnt in the draft? Or is it that he is coming out in the following years draft?

Also great work on the guide your effort is applauded

Re: ** SPOILERS ** Madden 13 Draft Class Guide

I thought I had read that M13 had 900 draft classes, not 30?

Re: ** SPOILERS ** Madden 13 Draft Class Guide

This is awesome, i started my scouting for the draft this morning and am seeing that the development is quick or superstar on the guys i was already targeting.

I have the same draft, but Parks never showed up in any of the stories. i might have missed him in the scouting as i havnt gotten completely into it yet, but i would assume that means he is coming out in the next draft.

Honestly I'm sorry for you that your IQ is so low that you can't understand the intent of my post. How stupid are you? I think that it was pretty clear that I WASNT criticizing their efforts/work but CURIOUS as to how they did the guide/accounted for certain circumstances... Also, if you're going to try to insult my intelligence please prove that you have some intelligence of your own, correct grammar is appreciated

On a side note, has anyone noticed if a storyline player's development trait is subject to change? For example, if they have a bad season does that only affect their ratings or does it affect their development trait as well...
