Madden NFL 10: Mapping out your Drafts

[Foxtrot2873]

I used to follow these things. But I'm starting to seriously regret learning these players. Because by season 3 or 4, I've got so many A potential players, its ridiculous. I've the best if not close to the best players at every position, and thus its boring.

I play with the broncos pretty much everytime, and i tend to enjoy the first season where I am forced to work with a few good players. A strong WR, but a QB that can't throw farther then 10 yrds. A great LT, but aging interior. A young running back. Every position could be upgraded, aside from maybe Clady, Dawkins, and Bailey.

This is an alright post. It's nice to know exactly who you want to draft. That said, I wouldn't use this because as some people have said it makes things too easy. I do a good enough job scouting and drafting without knowing the overalls before I get the players. I love finding a guy in the late rounds who turns out to be a stud. Back on Madden '08 I found a WR named Eubanks in the 7th who came in with 98 speed. He started out as a return man and became a superstar.

i find that its more talent in the late rounds than in the early rounds.

this might be a noob question since I usually use NCAA rosters, but are the players names always the same in these drafts, or are they randomly generated everytime?

Does anyone know if you can upload a NCAA draft class to an online league in Madden?

Not at all? Even if it's done offline and then uploaded to an online franchise?

This year Madden features 30 pre-made draft classes for franchise mode. The draft class that is assigned to your franchise is randomly generated when advancing from the preseason to the regular season. This means that you can map out your franchise and decide what draft classes you want simply by saving and re-loading before the regular season until you get the desired draft class. Most "sim" players may not prefer this method, but for those of us who pit our franchises against our friends’ franchises, it helps to map out and maximize your roster.

To provide an example, I will go over my preferred top two draft classes, which should really help set up the future of your own franchise. To make things easy, most people sort draft classes by the top-rated QB from each class. These two classes are known as the Cooper Reno draft and the Kris Steven-Baker draft. Complete lists of the best players in all 30 drafts have been made by a few dedicated people and can be found by via the all-powerful Google.

What is that crap?

First you write an article about moving Derrick Brooks to SS, now you have an article advocating reloading draft classes?

Wow. I thought this was a sim-oriented forum.

I could care less really. I like realism but I don't like playing a game with numbered players if you know what I mean.

EDIT: Also I remember in previous years if you imported the class and then exited and imported the class again the ratings and draft order would be different everytime.....as it it were randomized.....

What do you mean? We've got full names every guy named on our rosters....

Names, attributes, everything always the same. The whole draft class (all of the draft classes) are entirely premade. Nothing is random. This is either great or terrible, depending on your bent (I go the "terrible" way).
