2013 Post Draft Roster Update ( Xbox 360 )

[xCAGEx]

Ok so I did a little testing of my own today regarding players Over All Rating and found something very interesting.

I used Joe Flacco for this test and compared a few things vs Madden.

In Making my roster update I ported over everything from Madden 13.

Every attribute from Madden copied over perfectly. Except the players Over All Rating.

In Madden Joe Flacco ended the season with a 93 Overall.
When ported over in to Head Coach he is a 78 over.
Everthing else matches perfectly. Arm Strength, Awareness, Speed ...everything.

So I took and made Joe Flacco with all attributes maxxed to 100.
Loaded him back into Head Coach and what did I find ...
His over all only increased to 81.
I went back and added 5 years to his experience to see if that would have any effect on his over all rating and nothing. Made him a 15 year vet and his over still did not change.

There are certain attributes that can not be adjusted.
Intangibles, Potential, Stamina, Toughness, Injury
I believe Intangibles and Potential play parts in the Over All rating of a player and are built directly into the game and not the roster itself.


So here is my belief. Certain things are Hard programmed into the game that effect the players over all rating. Its probably done to enhance the playing experience and to force you to develop the players more.
I would say in looking at a players rating look more at the physical attributes and not the over all.

I uploaded the Flacco File so if anyone wants to see how little making someone a perfect 100 in attributes effects their over all rating.

Hope this helps in understanding where the over all rating of a player really comes from

Are you talking players from my current roster or players from the game generated draft classes.

I can only adjust those that are from my roster update and not those that come from the draft classes.

There is a feature on the Madden Editor for draft classes but crash everytime I use it. I will continue to work with it but I beileve draft classes are hard programmed into the game.

xCAGEx, I've been playing with the roster editor for a while, so I have a couple questions for you:

1) Were you able to update the LRN attribute? That is the one attribute the editor hasn't allowed me to edit. Every time I do in the raw data, it reverts it back to the default.

2) Did you update the max potential score for each attribute? Again, I tried to do this in the editor, and it won't take.

Same it wont let me change any of those settings... I think that is playing a part in the players over all ratings not matchup with Madden...

I have different editor Im gonna play around with and see if it will let me change those settings.

Let you know what I find

I am lost on how to obtain your roster. I have succesfully got 2 other rosters to work for "Rondo" and "Omega". The file you provide comes up as an "invalid package" when trying to open in Modio. The file must be corrupt, or I am lost. Got the other 2 to work in 5-6 mins from not even having a single program downloaded yet. You seem to be putting the most work in, so I am excited to see your roster. Please Help!?

Ok discovered the issue with certain players disappearing and then re appearing in Preseason -
When the game was created certain players where rookies then ( Joe Flacco , Ray Rice, for example )
It is part of the programming that requires you to negotiate there rookie contracts. No matter what age I make them or years of experience they have, the game is programmed to seek them out and have you negotiate there contract...

It's also a factor in their overall ratings being so low... The game still believes they are rookies

Looking for a work around and may have one but in the mean time keep that in mind when starting a career
