VikingFan4Ever's 360 Draft Classes
 

This is my first attempt at a realistic draft class so this is a rough draft of what I'm working on. Here are the details for the 09 class. They are based off Dkrause's lasted roster file from NCAA. Please keep in mind this is a rough draft as I will look for feedback to improve it before posting a file.

Moved Pat White to WR

Changed numbers for most players. Edited some equipment.

PLAYERS CREATED:
QB
Nathan Brown Central Arkansas (put him on Arkansas State)
Rhett Bomar Sam Houston State (put him on SMU)

RB
Rashad Jennings Liberty (put him on Louisiana Tech)

CB
Domonique Johnson Jackson State (put him on Florida Atlantic)

I'm working on the ratings now in order to eliminate guys coming out too high. The goal is to make the top five picks around 83-84, and all 1st round picks in the 82-80 range. Then on down. This how I'd like the first round to look. Feedback is appreciated.

1 Matthew Stafford Quarterback Georgia
2 Chris Wells Running Back Ohio State
3 Rey Maualuga Linebacker USC
4 Knowshon Moreno Running Back Georgia
5 Andre Smith Offensive Tackle Alabama
6 LeSean McCoy Running Back Pittsburgh
7 George Selvie Defensive End South Florida
8 Michael Oher Offensive Tackle Mississippi
9 Michael Crabtree Wide Receiver Texas Tech
10 James Laurinaitis Linebacker Ohio State
11 Sam Bradford Quarterback Oklahoma
12 Malcolm Jenkins Cornerback Ohio State

15 Jeremy Maclin Wide Receiver Missouri
16 Vontae Davis Cornerback Illinois
17 Se’Derrick Marks Defensive End Auburn

Re: VikingFan4Ever's 360 Draft Classes
 

So this draft class your doing will have all these people in there? Cuz I have classes right now that have some of these players but not guys like Wells and Davis among other... So I just wanna know

Re: VikingFan4Ever's 360 Draft Classes
 

I'll download these now and give you feedback. Your big board seems very accurate. Could you please upload them?

(RB's Moreno/McCoy should drop lower)

Re: VikingFan4Ever's 360 Draft Classes
 

I am still testing but if anyone wants to check out the roster file from NCAA I am using, I uploaded it via EA Locker. Herkyalert is my gamertag and NFL is the file name.

I lowered Moreno and McCoy 1 point overall. They are now 96's in NCAA. Nobody is rated higher than 97, and those are the top 5 picks. I rated the top ten 96's. We shall see how they import.

I also changed all the guys I wanted to go pro to seniors, and will user control the top 12 teams in NCAA while simming so I can try to make guys like Colt McCoy and other juniors to stay in school so they will be in my 2010 draft class.

Re: VikingFan4Ever's 360 Draft Classes

Kickers def need upgrades. I don't even know how Sam Swank didn't make the draft class but I'll make sure he's in.

Re: VikingFan4Ever's 360 Draft Classes
 

thanks for the update and hard work. i'm really looking forward to downloading it. making it accurate would be great, but don't worry if there are some imperfections, it's tough to make a good madden draft class.

also, when do you think you'll post it?

Re: VikingFan4Ever's 360 Draft Classes
 

I'm going to go back into NCAA and lower a bunch of guys so nobody comes out too high. I'll post the draft class late tonight at the earliest and for sure by tomorrow afternoon. I just got Fable 2 so I'm going to play that for a bit and then work on the file and get the ratings closer to this formula.

Top 5 84-83
1st Round 82-80
2nd Round 79-78
3rd Round 78-76
4th Round 76-74
5th Round 74-72
6th Round 71-70
7Th Round 70-68
