1993 Madden 17 PS4

[Iteachpercussion]

Alright folks, this is the thread for my upcoming 1993 roster. Things are underway on the roster and the first upload will come in a few days. (I hope)

First, let me give a major THANK YOU to artvandeleghe who spent a great deal of time moving players around and renaming them. That is a time consuming process and makes my job MUCH easier. I have been very happy with his work.

So far I have completed the AFC Central and have the Bills and Dolphins finished. Once I am done with the AFC East I will post the roster to Madden Share. Like I said I hope to do that in a couple of days.

The expansion teams will be made up of players from the World League of American Football.

You can expect my normal rating style and detail to equipment. Please us this thread for the 1993 roster only. If you have comments or questions about the 1975 roster, please use that thread.

Re: 1993 Madden 17 PS4

I have uploaded the first version of the 1993 file. The AFC Central and AFC East are finished. I have done a little bit of play testing, but not too much.

Take a look and see what you think so far. Please provide feedback, it helps me make the roster one that is accurate and fun to play.

Re: 1993 Madden 17 PS4

What slider set are you using to game play test?

I played a couple quick games 5 min quarters not for realism but just to get a initial reaction. I played them on spectator so my play style would not influence the game.

I saw a lot of good things visually with player appearences, offensive linemen neck rolls, helmets, etc...

I also saw how HOF Andre Reed was a step above the other receivers on the field but not with game changing speed but rather route running, cuts, and fighting for the ball in traffic. Really enjoyed watching that.

The one negative (again after a super shortened game and only two of them) was there seemed to be a lot of strip fumble sacks to both Jim Kelly and Warren Moon. Also Kelly seemed confused when to break the pocket and just ran into Dolphin lineman causing fumbles.

So it certainly may be the sliders I was playing on, but overall I very much enjoyed watching the games and it felt like it was 1993 again, although if the number of strip fumbles on QBs could be lessened that would make it even better.

After work today and tomorrow I am hoping to go to 15 quarters and see how a whole game feels / looks to add additional comments.

Re: 1993 Madden 17 PS4

I believe you mentioned this already but what will the extra teams like PA there have Texans etc... have as rosters? Will you put any of their first year players on there ( for Carolina a and Jax, since they'd only have to be two years younger) like a Tim Biakbutuka or Kerry Collins at age 20 and 21? Then filling it out with WL or other scrubs?

I will take a look the strip sacks. I may need to bring QB carrying up a bit. I will take a look.

The QB confusion may be a couple of issues, I will take a look when I get to play some more. It also may have been that game, so more testing will help figure it out. Thanks for the feedback!!!

Re: 1993 Madden 17 PS4

Forgot to mention in the last post, slider wise I use All-Pro, nearly default with just QBA adjusted to 25 (I think). Penalties are adjusted a bit too, but I cannot remember exactly what they are and I cannot get to my settings at the moment.

They will be mostly WLAF players from specific teams, unless those players moved to the NFL in 93. I do not intend on using players from the actual NFL teams when they came into the league. I will make some FAs from other WLAF and NFL free agents. But I do not try to change everyone, it is too long of a process. Some guys I change positions so their OVRs drop so low they retire after one season.

Re: 1993 Madden 17 PS4

Idea for Draft Class/Expansion Teams

Since there is no draft class function, and everyone is constantly asking if the rosters are for multi year franchise or "1 year only: Why not put 1994 draftees on those unused teams?

Then we could go ahead and sign them after the season to the respective teams?

Having that seems like a better use of a limited player slot than generics. Even if not done in the initial release, its a cool idea for an add on or update. Just my two cents

Genuinely struggling to find errors with the teams completed so far. Nice work.

Right. will know more after some more test games.

Re: 1993 Madden 17 PS4

The QB fumble issue is just a massive flaw in the game in general. I'm seeing it happen a ton regardless of the roster I'm using.

Re: 1993 Madden 17 PS4

QB's fumbled at a higher rate in 1993 than they do today. So with that in mind, is that really still an issue?

Also, the most recent patch "addressed" this issue by reducing the frequency.
