Above all else, I value realism in the gameplay and franchise mode and I am heading into my first offseason. Is there anybody out there that thinks these issues are minor or will I be pissed off when I see my 2012 crop of rookies? Thanks.

 Imported Player issuesI've been scouring threads about the whole imported player jagged pads/disproportionate body issue. I've yet to see a good example of the jagged shoulder pads - could someone help with this? Also, what is a rough estimate percentage-wise of incoming players that are afflicted with either issue?

 Re: Imported Player issues
 
 A lot.
 
 I wrote down all of my draft picks in each round for all 32 teams rounds 1-6..went back through rounds 1-3 picks and checked skill players only for issues.
 
 In the first round alone
 16 skill players out of 19 drafted in round 1 had a giant shoulder pads issue.*AKA NFC3PO on the Madden Modding Discord*

 Can you still play the games without it bothering you too much, or is it unbearable?Comment

 Re: Imported Player issues
 
 I hated it, so I just scrapped my franchise and started over with default classes. Also had it on 32 team control and deleted all UDFA's...ugh. Annoying, can't believe EA messed up offline franchise so bad this year.PSN: Maserati_Bryan17Comment

 Re: Imported Player issues
 
 I know I'm beating a dead horse at this point but its ridiculous that we have to jump through hoops to get what we want out of the game.
 
 It sounds like EA, inexplicably, is not going to patch this. Why not? Or are they unable to do it for some reason? ThanksComment

 Re: Imported Player issues
 
 Especially since this was "the year" for franchise mode. I'm getting rid of my copy at this point. I have enough fun with NCAA and it's dynasty mode (and god knows that game is far from perfect) that I haven't even bothered with Madden barely since release. Last time I'm buying on release day. Definitely waiting for some of the poor saps on OS to beta test it for me for the first month of release.  Comment

 Re: Imported Player issues
 
 Okay, my worst fears have been realized. Simmed through to draft, chose Andrew Luck and Michael Floyd for the Vikings to build around and those pads are simply AWFUL. Looks like the only work around to this issue is to edit fake rookies to names of real players based on similar appearance. Has this been feasible for anybody?
 
 If not, I'm mailing this worthless game back to EA.Comment

 Re: Imported Player issues
 
 NCAA is worse than Madden this year. At least Madden doesn't freeze up on me. Plus its my opinion that Madden's gameplay is superior this year, NCAA really had an off year this year imo.PSN: Maserati_Bryan17Comment

 This is what I do.
 
 Do you play ps3? or 360?
 
 Im currently working through my preseason ending at the beginning of year 2...went through...fixed all of the big name players to not have messed up pads,made manual cuts for all 32 teams.
 
 (This is a 32 team franchise)
 
 but if you are ps3 and interested, when I am finished with this all, I may upload it if people are interested.
 
 I know some ppl just sim their first season anyway to get draft players for the next year*AKA NFC3PO on the Madden Modding Discord*Comment

 Re: Imported Player issues
 
 Yep I'm playing PS3 and doing the same as you with 32 team control (just working through preseason year 1 now, after franchise restart). When you say you fixed the big name players, do you mean that found a way to make the pads look normal?
 
 Thought it was impossible, but definitely something I'd be interested in. Thanks.Comment

 Re: Imported Player issues
 
 Nope if EA would have included full body sliders we could have curbed some of this perhaps but it seems the fix is most likely going to be Madden 13 which I will not be buying until a least October considering how borked NCAA and Madden were on launch...Comment
