So I am sure I am not alone in saying that the fantasy draft part of connected franchise is one of my favorites. I am already digging into it and was going to put together a excel sheet for dev 2 and 3 players with their schemes, styles, and other aspects we might like as a cheat sheet so to speak. I was asking if there was any interest in this and if so maybe some ideas for info that would be helpful on this sheet. Thanks ahead for any suggestions. I will openly share this sheet once I am completed.

Re: Fantasy Drafting
Actually I have interest. I've been trying some fantasy drafting and haven't really hit a decent team that I liked. I tried different drafting strategies like one draft I went QB first, another draft I went CB first, and a different one I went MLB first. Just didn't really pan out the way I liked.
I was thinking of trying a new strategy and go total defense first like:
Round 1 and 2: Draft a top FS and top SS.
Round 3: MLB
Round 4 and 5: Grab either two DT's or a DT and a CB.
then in Rounds 6+: Go offense, maybe either get Beastmode (marshawn lynch) in the 7th round, grab either Bortles or Bridgewater as a QB in the 6th. Then start getting some WR's, and get my O-line in the 11th+ rounds.
What do you think? -
Re: Fantasy Drafting
I am definitely interested in this. The last draft I did I picked up Sherman in the first. I had the fourth pick. Next round I grabbed Manziel. Then, to my surprise, AP still hadn't been picked up. So I grabbed him. I wonder if they will patch this soon?Comment

Re: Fantasy Drafting
Yea I picked up Sherman in one of my drafts too. The issue is that with good corners on the outside, the cpu QB will exploit the middle and slant you to death and march down the field with slants. LB's with decent pass coverage are better in this game than having the best corner. And great safeties are a must for defending the middle.Last edited by extremeskins04; 09-02-2014, 10:40 AM.Comment

Re: Fantasy Drafting
Great. This is what I have come up with so far. I can attach the xls once I am competed. I have also found some late sleepers with 2s and 3s for devs. They don't show up till later rounds so if anyone finds ones that I don't have listed can you send them to me and I will update the list for us. Thanks.Last edited by BeantowneS; 09-02-2014, 11:27 AM."They are who we thought they were!"Comment

Re: Fantasy Drafting
Probably has to do with age
Why get AP when he does not have that many good years left in him
Best to draft a young guy like Stacy/Ellington/etc so that you can have a good rb for the coming years.
Fantasy drafts are all about creating a dynasty unless you want to just win now and spend the next 5 years playing catch up trying to draft the next big thingPS4 PSN - FlashSithLord

Re: Fantasy Drafting
AP would still go ahead of Ellington and Stacy. That is not a question. However, RB's are not as valuable in the NFL anymore, which is why they aren't taken until the 4th round in Madden fantasy drafts. Teams are more willing to wait on RB's and get a good QB, LT, WR, CB, LB, or DE before getting a RB. Not to mention the fact that on Madden, AP has maybe 3-4 good years left on him, whereas you could use a guy like Stacy or Ellington for 7 and develop them into being just as good as AP. Again, the QB's go high because teams are planning for the future and don't want to miss out on a QB (a scarce position).2k15 MyTeam PS4

Re: Fantasy Drafting
I was just surprised he was still available. Plus I enjoy scouting. I'll have a backup ready whenever he retires. A talent like AP should have definitely been gone in the first round.Comment

Re: Fantasy Drafting
Contracts do not factor in. Each rounds has a default contract. And AP would probably not be a first round pick, look at the Vikings. They have struggled without a decent QB even though they have AP. Good QB's, elite young defensive players, and maybe Calvin Johnson would be 1st round picks.2k15 MyTeam PS4

Re: Fantasy Drafting
Just want to say the way contracts work in fantasy draft is that the people in first get all the same pay the second round less and so on. So if you take a bad player in the first. He's going to get the same money Peyton manning would get if taken with the same pick. All previous contracts wiped clean and new contracts according to where drafted (sorry I can't give specific dollar amounts)
And the people saying not to draft a RB, I've simmed 10 years in my online career (so that implements the new sim stats so qbs play better) and AP still plays til like age 37 or so and is still 90 overall, so if you do take him you can have a good RB for a long time.Comment
