lotusfather's Madden 25 Draft Guide

[lotusfather]

Here is the link to the googledocs page where I am working on it. 30 classes are done. Questions and or comments welcome. I will be updating when I find new info on the storyline guys, also please let me know if I made any mistakes on the non-storyline guys.

The drafts order is at the bottom of this post, the latest update has that order included. The spreadsheet is not in order, so refer to the list in this post if you need the order.

Spoilers of course, so if you don't want to see, don't click the links

I have heard about some issues with the full guide loading up, and have experienced them myself. I don't know what is wrong with it so I uploaded a new file (my most up-to-date guide) and changed the link. If there are still issues I included the full guide in the folder so you should be able to access it there.

Here is the link to the full guide:

Here is a link to a folder with each separate guide I have done so far, load time is much nicer.

Awesome! Followed your guides for a couple years now. Thanks man

[JaymeeAwesome]

These guides always rock. I wish I had some time to help you with formatting it to Microsoft Excel to make it more eye appealing for people to read and a little simpler to find your draft class. Good luck with this!

Hey lotus, what are your impressions of the classes you've ran across so far? In the ones I've scouted and drafted it looks like an abundance of fast but weak DT, slow linebackers (I've yet to encounter a solid all around backer), slow corners, super slow safeties, and slow TE.. just curious what you think in comparison to last years classes

Yeah, I have noticed that. Also it seems like there are fewer Fast and Star Dev guys too. It does make the gems that much more valuable, though there are still some "freaks", like

Spoiler

Daimone Blue a DT with 90 speed and 88 strength with fast dev. As for 'backers, there are a few who stand out, look for one named Graves, another named Merchant and then the Alaska brothers both make great linebackers, oh and Wolverine Justice isn't too shabby either.

Overall though, compared to last year the classes have been very weak.
