One thing I'm really hoping to see is how drafting fullbacks will be this year. In past years drafted fullbacks were useless. Hopefully some fullbacks will appear in the draft classes that can run block like Ovie Mughelli, run like Greg Jones/Leron McClain, and catch like Jacob Hester. I love utilizing fullbacks in my offense and would like to draft a usefull one.

Re: Drafting Fullbacks
good point. I remember drafting a FB that was 84 OVR so you would think he would be good. But I had Mcclain and he was actually better in almost all categories. -

Re: Drafting Fullbacks
I hope if there is a good fullback in college, like Vickers was at Colorado, a guy who excels in multiple aspects of the game, I hope he gets drafted before the 5th round...
Most FB's in Madden 09 went undrafted, even if they were rated 95-99 in NCAA.
I guess that's my first issue- importing draft classes, huh?Comment

Re: Drafting Fullbacks
I always sign undrafted FB's. Last year in 09' I signed a Rookie FB and stashed him under Mike Sellers for three years, and during the season every now and then I would train with him using varies drills, and when Sellers retired three years later, he was ready to go with a 85 rating.....If only my Redskins IRL adopted that moto.Comment

Re: Drafting Fullbacks
Drafting Fullbacks in m09 was broken. Every fullback drafted would drop 5 or 6 points the moment they're signed. The same glitch happened to kickers and punters too.
Test it.Comment

Re: Drafting Fullbacks
I never drafted FBs, but usually signed the undrafted ones.
I always liked to have a good blocking FB with decent hands, so a lot of times I would find late round blocking TEs and make them into FBs. I also always had 3 TEs with different purposes (1 balanced who had decent hands and decent blocking skill-he would be the starter, 1 good hands receiving TE who would be the TE in shotgun sets and sometimes as the FB in shotgun sets, and then a pure blocking TE (usually a converted FB) for goal line and 3 TE sets.
I loved the FB/blocking TE spots because I had very specific wants for those positions, unlike WR where I wanted hands/speed, and it allowed me to give a little more personality to my roster.Comment

Re: Drafting Fullbacks
Well hopefully Josh Looman brings Casey Barone from Head Coach, he was a complete monster at FB and blocked absolutely everything and than some.*˙ǝɟıן ɹnoʎ ɟo spuoɔǝs ǝʌıɟ ʇsoן ʇsnɾ ǝʌɐɥ noʎ ʇɐɥʇ ʎɐs oʇ ʎɹɹos ɯɐ ı sıɥʇ pɐǝɹ noʎ ɟı

Re: Drafting Fullbacks
On the other hand, good FBs SHOULD be rare out of the draft, because so many teams in college ball hardly use one, with the spread and RandS so prevailent.I am a franchise guy. And for me, and many like me, an authentic NFL simulation experience is what we want, not just another video game that happens to be about American football.
