![]() ![]() There is only a 2 point overall difference between them so it would often make more sense to instead draft the lower rated player that has a higher positional grade in an attribute that matters a lot like throw power even though Madden is telling you that he is the worse prospect. One example of this is if you have an early 3rd talent quarterback with “”A” throw power available in the draft and you also have an early 5th talent quarterback with “A+” throw power available in the draft. The best actionable advice for this is to weigh combine grades and positional grades more heavily than the overall grades. That really isn’t much of a difference at all and can easily be made up. Using our Madden 21 progression and XP calculator, for a 64 overall, 22 year old rookie with normal development, it only costs about 4000 XP per skill point (much less if he is star or superstar). One big takeaway from this research is that there really isn’t a huge difference between the lower round grades.įor example, a late 3rd round pick will be a 68 overall while a mid 7th round pick will be a 64 overall.Ī 3rd round pick to a 7th round pick seems like a huge drop off but it really is only 4 points of overall rating. A pattern emerged pretty quickly and the results were pretty straightforward. ![]() The way we did this analysis is we went through a bunch of drafts, scouted the players, and then marked down what their overall ratings were. The table above shows what each “talent” rating corresponds to with a player’s in-game overall rating. Let’s go over this all in more detail below! ![]() A projected early 1st rounder who after he is scouted gets a talent rating of mid 3rd round will be the same overall as a projected late 7th rounder who after he is scouted gets a talent rating of mid 3rd round. red diamonds mean absolutely nothing for overall ratings. Note: Projected round means nothing for overall rating. If you missed the first 3 parts of our Madden 21 franchise scouting guide, you will definitely want to check them out.Basically the talent rating that is revealed to you after you scout all 3 individual ratings will give you an incredibly tight range for what overall a player will be. You can still get a development trait with this but it is far from guaranteed and much less common than before One common draft story that had led to development traits in the past was the guy who won the All-Star Game MVP. This isn’t a guaranteed thing but it heavily increases your odds.Īnother story to look for that often has positive results is when a player “is giving up football.” This is generally a positive story that will lead to a development trait.įor example, “Word is John Bennett has serious business aspirations, so much so that he’s giving up football.” DBs play such a big role in the NFL, he’s GOT to go high in the #NFLDRAFT” It can also appear with a word like “GOT.” Saying something like, “Tony Marshall continues to amaze. Notice how the word, “LOT” is capitalized. Or, “Bryan Whitehead looked awesome against Damien Torrence at the All-Star game. When we looked at the results for every player who had a story written about him, it came out to around a 40% chance that a player would have a development trait. It isn’t guaranteed and you will still draft normal dev players but you are increasing your chances from around 3% to 67%. If an article is written about them, those players have about a 67% chance of getting at least star dev of better. If you are using a custom draft class, these stories won’t appear.īy monitoring these stories, we can get a much higher chance of drafting a rookie with a development trait.Īfter going through 10+ drafts and marking down what each story said and then noting what development trait the player who the story was about got, we found a few things.įirst, in weeks 1-3 (before the scouting process even is available) there will often be stories about players. Note: This only works for computer generated draft classes that haven’t been edited. These tweets and stories will disappear throughout the season and once you miss it, it often doesn’t come back. Check it every week and mark down what you read. Throughout the year and into the offseason, various tweets and stories are available about what is going on in college football.
