EaglesPeteC Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 If it is just 2 college players per team then I can add those to the Madden sim easily enough. I have a download for the 2021 draft so I can model them in the sim based off those projections 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like the idea of adding college players to this format. I think it adds way too many unknowns and would make judging teams at the end of this even more difficult given there would be even more projection. If EaglesPeteC is going to do a madden sim, it would make that harder as well. Personally, I like the one draft for all. Hopefully not killing the excitement for you... Not sure what others think though. I'd love to do this, but it's always a challenge to get everyone back. 23 minutes ago, TedLavie said: I agree with this entirely Let me try and explain my rationale for this a little bit. I'm 100% ok with removing it, that's why I asked for feedback. I thought it'd just be plain fun to try. I can understand the hesitation in doing it though. The issue in the past that I've had with running these is very few people looked at a team fairly if they didn't have a young star QB (Mahomes, Lamar, etc.) because of the value placed on that position. The teams that built around an older QB, like a Brady, Rodgers, etc. would get judged harshly despite having an elite level QB. My idea of adding the college draft was to help give those teams an opportunity to immediately give a team a plan succession should they choose to strategize that way. The same logic can be applied to other positions as well, but my primary reason for having it was to help create parity at the QB position. Curious to hear anyone else's thoughts before I eliminate it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcb1213 Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 I'd also be for eliminating it, but I'm sure that's no surprised to u 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EaglesPeteC Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 I'm fine either way. I only know like 8 college players right now but I can do my research. I am also fine without it. It also makes my job on the Madden Sim easier...lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious to hear anyone else's thoughts before I eliminate it. I think that can still be done. Like if a team drafts Rodgers, but then also drafts Sam Darnold or something like that... I mean outside of Lawrence and Fields, I mean not a ton of college players would really get a look on roster with only 12 teams in the league you know?

CHOMP_CHOMP Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 I don’t mind either way, maybe have an option that you don’t HAVE to take a player. Like if I don’t want to take the 12th best college player, and would rather fill your roster with NFL guys... than that should be allowed.

Nick Posted June 4, 2020 Author Share Posted June 4, 2020 Rather than complicate it, let's just proceed without it. Nobody seems to love the idea as much as I do, which I'm fine with. I'll post the order and get a draft thread started tonight. We have 12 teams which was my goal. @MikeT14 if I provide you with a list of the 12 names to randomize would you mind being our 3rd party to determine the order for us? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminder of rule #5... these are the teams you're representing for your 'favorite team' player selection, not your team names. You can name the team whatever you want.
