stupid madden nfl franchise mode

[SCfuji]

unless i have one of the top 5 draft picks each year the players that i get are bullsh|t. i will scout them and think that im getting a good player that will be able to play at least a back up role but when i sign them to a contract i get a pos douchebag with a 15 stamina rating. if anybody is really good at franchise mode rookie drafting please tell me your secrets.

i know that i shouldnt expect to find ladanian tomlinsons in the draft every year but what about the tom brady's? i have yet to find a great player that is only a couple years of offseason training away from being a contributor to my team.

help, please?

I drafted a QB with the #1 pick and then drafted a QB in the 7th round. The 7th rounder had BETTER passing skills. The only thing he was low in was awareness which was like 30 and his overall was maybe 68. (He was slow too) He won the job in the preseason and never looked back. He's a 95 overall now.

Nothing even remotely close to that has happened any other time. Most of the time they are garbage.

If only the San Diego Chargers front office could play this game....

Oh the fun they would have.....

In my experience these are always flawed. If you find a good center draft, just take all centers with your last 5-6 picks and have them all be 75+. Trade them for anything you need. rinse and repeat.

Or you can just scam your way to owning all the good 2-3rd round picks...

Little known fact-for some reason even if you have a better record than the team you're trading with, the other team will give you good trades of draft picks. You can normally trade your first and second round picks for the first, second, and third round picks of the team with the worst record in the league right before the trade deadline.

They make the generated draft classes unbearable so that people will buy NCAA for the draft classes. Now, those have their own problems unfortunately...

After 5 or 6 games look at the teams with the worst records. Figure out who will have the worst season and trade your entire draft for theirs.

Or, if you're willing to go this far already, save before the draft, draft and sign players, view all the new rookies, then load your saved game and take the good ones.
