What overall does player need to get in draft?

How do they correlate to madden ratings? For example, what will my 95 receiver be in Madden? Anyone know?

Hard to say cause it is on Madden's end of things to determine that.

It might not be overall because we don't use overall to determine if a player leaves early. That is based on stats and awards.

I've kind of always felt like it should be based on both. I got tired a couple of years ago of seeing my 78 OVR CB leave just because he won the Thorpe and had 85 tackles and 8 picks with 3 TD's. Then he tries to leave early for the NFL but he doesn't even show up in the draft class because he's not even close to NFL level.

Those stats were pretty much out of my control, which is what I didn't like, since INT's have been at zero for about 80 years of me playing NCAA.

To answer the OP, I'm not sure. I don't think its a direct OVR to OVR. I think there is some randomness involved, and it also has heavier weighting on certain attributes.

Good point. The CPU tends to accumulate far fewer tackles, especially since human tackles in game count both solo and assists as full tackles. I've had some pretty bad players try and leave because of it.

I've only ever did the Draft Class deal once, because I wanted to draft my 96 OVR stud HB form my NCAA Dynasty. I traded for the #1 Pick and drafted my HB. He went from 96 OVR (NCAA) to 84 OVR (Madden). I dont know if this is an average drop in OVR or not but I was pleased.

OMT I am just wondering why going pro or not would be solely based on stats and awards? Like others in this thread have pointed out you could have very low overalls have great statistical years. The factors that should decide whether a player goes or not should be his overall rating, whether that team won a championship or not, what kind of team is returning next year and the team's overall play for that year.

I noticed last yr that as long as my players were 90 or better over all they got in. That's not a given though cause on one occasion I was following a RB out of GT and was planning on picking him up in the draft. His ovr was 91 but he didn't make the draft. There were an abundance of Rb's that were rated higher than him that year though so I figured his ovr wasn't good enough to make the cut.
