I actually adore managing Madden rosters

Apr-28-2017

I actually adore managing Madden rosters and there are a few things that, for abounding years now, that I run into and ambition EA would abode in approaching Madden titles. Here's a few of the things that I accept ahead accounting about on this Madden NFL 18 Coins subreddit.


1,Minimum position requirements. If you attending at any NFL agenda in a accustomed anniversary during the approved season, you will see that a lot of teams sometimes backpack abandoned 3 OGs, or 2 OT, 3 DEs, 1 DT, 3 safeties, or even no fullbacks. However, Madden requires 4 OGs, 4 OTs, 3 DTs, at atomic one FB, and so on. It is aswell account acquainted that you could accept 4 OTs or 4 OLBs but you cannot about-face a LT to RT in adjustment to accumulate in bandage with an NFL team's abyss chart, even if you accept 4 total.


2,Depth charts. If you accept 3 players listed as the LE but you ambition abandoned two to appearance up on the abyss chart, there's no advantage to abolish the third amateur and achieve that aperture empty.


3,Injured players. If you are application an EA Sports agenda and there are currently afflicted players during the season, you cannot toggle their abrasion cachet or absolution them. In the NFL, teams abandon afflicted players with abrasion settlements all the time, abnormally in the preseason.


4,Salaries and contracts. Madden automatically generates the arrangement for all chargeless agents, which can sometimes could could could cause problems with the bacon cap if you are afterlight your rosters. (Editing salaries of players is a affection in the NBA2K series traveling aback several titles.)


5,Retired players. The way I accept handled retired players is to absolution them from their aggregation and afresh alteration their Stamina, Injury, Toughness ratings as far down as they go. There should be a way to "retire" a player.


Maybe add it to the popup interface if signing chargeless agents. All that it would do is blah out the player's name in the account chargeless agents and anticipate users (offline agenda editors, animal and CPU-managed teams in authorization mode) from signing the player.However, if you are alteration rosters, you can "unretire" a amateur and achieve them an accessible chargeless agent.


6,Player administration and chargeless agents. Is there a way to amalgamate these two screens? I abhorrence accepting to jump aback and alternating amid Amateur Administration and Assurance Chargeless Agents every time I absolution a amateur from one aggregation and assurance him to another.


Under Amateur Management, they cover "All NFL" and you can array by position beyond every team, including chargeless agents. Why not add addition bandage next to "All NFL" that is "Free Agents." From this screen, you should be able to either adapt the amateur or assurance him to a team. You could even use the aforementioned popup interface if alteration players on NFL teams that say: "Release Player... Barter Player... Adapt Player." With chargeless agents, it could be, "Sign Player... Retire Player...Edit Player..." (This is, also, a affection in NBA2K alternation traveling aback several titles.)


7,Draft picks. NFL teams generally barter abstract picks years in advance, as we accept apparent with the Los Angeles Rams and Philadelphia Eagles affective up and trading abroad a king's bribe in picks to the Tennessee Titans and Cleveland Browns. There should be addition "position" amid "P" and "All" in the agenda editor that shows abstract picks in the next 3 years. For instance, let's say this is Madden 17 afterwards this summer. Beneath "Draft" tab, it should account anniversary abandoned aces as if it were a amateur that can be traded. This way, in approaching drafts, you are not disadvantaged as a Browns buyer in authorization approach as you would be operating with beneath picks to which you are entitled. It would show:


Browns 2017 1st Round


Eagles 2017 1st Round


...


Browns 2018 1st Round


Browns 2018 2nd Round


Eagles 2018 2nd Round


...


Create amateur upgrades. Why did they anytime yield out the "Years Pro" ambience with created players from years past? Every created amateur appropriate now has to be a rookie. Why not acquiesce us to set their bacon (within a bandage of years/pay depending on their rating)?
