    Any advice for improving imported draft classes?

    Importing NCAA '09 draft classes into Madden is terrible.

    I import my draft class and random black players have dreadlocks. It's sort of a buzzkill if a player you really like looks completely different. It may sound stupid but it sucks when Jeremy Maclin or Josh Freeman have giant dreadlocks.

    Then the randomness is another crappy thing. I can have a guy with maxed out attributes in NCAA '09, and when he gets imported to Madden he's a slow 5th or 6th round pick. I boost Michael Crabtree (99 overall rating) so he leaves early, and then he's projected as 4th round pick and has 88 speed. It's stupid.

    It's little things like this that just take all the fun out of importing draft classes. I wish EA would just knock it out of the ballpark with a great importing system. And if not, why not give the user control to change things the way they want it? Next Gen doesn't allow enough control of attributes/appearence.

    Any advice or workaround for these annoying issues?

    This is a MAJOR problem I am having. I'm working on a way to fix it but I think it's just random and unavoidable. Maclin doesn't have dreads, madden!

      I've noticed some weird jersey numbers showing up when I did my class. I saw several defensive linemen who were single digit numbers who were the correct number before.

      Plain any simple, the import process with Madden is horrible on next gen.

        Has anyone else had any problem similar to the one Im having with my draft classes where every single play is basically a stick person?

          nope, it's not just you. I drafted BJ Raji as my NT. he's listed at something like 6'0 320 lbs yet he looks like a linebacker AND he has dreads? wtf?

            Ok good. I drafted Tebow and he looked more like a small WR than himself so I was pretty upset. Wonder if they can patch this? (Not that they would)
