    Has ANYONE used any good NCAA draft classes?

    I've went through maybe 4-5 first year draft classes, and I've yet to have one that works.

    Jake Locker 5th round pick, C potential?

    Jaquizz Rogers 84 speed?

    Has anyone had a succesful draft that was imported, and if so what rosters did you use from NCAA? I've tried putting Locker at 99, with 99 awarness and that does nothing.

      I'm not talking about number one overall, of course he's going to be good.

      You're not getting what I'm asking. And it sounds like you used a generic class, not an imported NCAA one.

        Nope, realistic rookie ratings using NCAA draft classes.

          What year was it, and can you give me a basic description of big name players and where they went?

              I had one set where Locker went in the 1st round (15 overall) and had B potential. He was picked up by the Eagles after they ended the Kevin Kolb experiment and Kolb became the starter in Buffalo during FA.

              Landry Jones went in the 2nd, Luck and Mallet each went in the 3rd. Mallet had 95 arm strength but bad accuracy and awareness.

              Royster went 1st overall after leading the NCAA in rushing. Ingram went at 10 and had an 84 overall. Devine was taken at the end of 1st. Rodgers was taken in the 3rd by me, and had 92 speed.

              I don't completely remember but I think Julio Jones went late 1st or early 2nd.

              Overall this draft class went well for me and I was using the 2nd community roster and bumped up the awareness of notable QBs and RBs by 5-10 points. Most of the draft grades seemed to make sense based on the end of year statistics in NCAA. I'm thinking NCAA/Madden uses some combination of ratings, statistics, and randomization to handle the import.

                Yeah I'm the Niners in mine and drafted Julio at 32. He had 83 speed, after me editing him in NCAA to like 93.

                I would love if we could get a community draft class of edited rosters from NCAA that are good talent levels. Potential is random, but I think the ratings are somewhat tied to a specific rate.

                In the first draft class I've done, it ran out of players and the 7th round was just a bunch of fullbacks, so that was lame.

                  Im in my fourth season, and I used Block-O first Roster set for two of the draft classes and i have to say I have some studs at RB,WR and Def.. but no QB to speak of.. I do have J.Locker backing up Eli and he is 71 with a B, but no starting QB from and Draft Class which is a little upseting, but I can live with the Stud RB, like Ingram,Murray, and a few others....

                    I've had 2 classes with pretty good results, but I had to work it that way. I loaded an reloaded until at least one QB was high potential. Year one Locker got picked in the first round by the 49ers. Quiz Rodgers lasted til the 3rd round, when I selected him. He's got 93 speed, 96 accel. He's pretty good. Mike Pouncey went 3rd overall - he's the only top guy I remember cause I really wanted him and was pissed he went so high.

                    In year two, Andrew Luck is a predicted top 10 pick - I've yet to do the draft cause I'm working my way into the top 10 But this 2nd class is a great corner class. Janoris Jenkins ran a 4.29. Quite a few upper echelon corners.

                    All that said, you have to work on it. Sim to the final week of preseason, save before you advance. Then advance, load the class and scout the guys you think should be high. Sometimes QB's will jump up after scouting. If the class isn't up to your liking, keep working on it. If it looks like it will be (during week one), save it there under a new file name and sim to week 6. If it still looks good, just reload the week 1 save. Does that make sense?

                      Not yet... I got Locker to go 7th overall once so far after I've been experimenting with draft classes. He went to the Seattle 7th overall and was 76 overall with B potential.

                      Amukamara went number one overall and was 89 overall with A potential.

                      So far it's the best draft so far but there were a lot of notable players that were missing or went in the late in the draft. Still, the things that bug me the most is the random equipment and player models.
