Madden: Editing Player Ratings in Franchise - Need Your Thoughts

[bxgoods]

Only I need to be able to edit are the players build, and equipment.

this thread is asking for suggestions on how to implement and to what extent we could edit the ratings; through the use of a specific code, having the option to turn it on or off, etc. So I dont understand these people (in the minority) that come on here and say, "I have no interest in this ability." Thats great, your not contributing to the thread, if you dont like it or are not interested in it, DONT USE IT!!!! (If we do actually get the ability) yes peoples two cents should always be welcome, but understand the purpose of the thread.

If you do nothing else, please allow the ability to completely customize an incoming draft class, imported from NCCA Football.

First, Ian this is a great idea, and if you could give us a sneak peek of it for Madden 11 and fully implement it for Madden 12 and beyond that would be great. From going through all 17 pages, Ian you have been giving some great ideas from everyone here and so if you sum all 17 pages up you'll realize all we want is more user control of things. That's all you need to give us for future Maddens.

Another thing you could do is open that up to editing players before you enter Franchise, and here's what I'm thinking you could do with it if you open up that editing players outside of Franchise Mode, which would actually improve Franchise:

Give Us Bars for every player that we can move between 0-100:

- Willingness to Re-sign: We move the meter from 0 to 100, obviously if it's a high number that player will be re-signed, like Peyton Manning. On the other hand I could go to Vincent Jackson and lower his willingness to re-sign to say 30% where the Chargers let him go and be a Free Agent, similar to real life.

- Franchise Tag: This would just be the percentage that this player may end up Franchised instead of giving a long term deal. This also ties into the above and below with trade. Let's say the willingness to re-sign is low, but also you know that the team won't give them up easily and may want something in return. Example, Vincent Jackson's re-sign % is 30%, but his Franchise Tag is set up to 80% which will guarantee him the Franchise Tag.

- Trade: This is the percentage that a player may end up traded to another team, now this alone could improve the AI's ability to trade with each other and make offers to the user. Keeping with the example, I could adjust VJ's trade percentage to 90% where he'll ultimately get the Franchise Tag & be put on the Trade Block from there.

Retirement: For this, we don't need a bar for percentage a guy will retire, with this we just need to adjust a players retirement year in the game, adjusting your pre-determined Retirements. This would actually allow players to go and change the retirement year to say Year 1(meaning they retire after the 1st season) if they were to retire after the 2010 season. Let's use some players from last year, Walter Jones & Kurt Warner both retired last year but in Madden 10 both stayed for extra years, so if we had this last year we could have went in and adjusted it where Warner & Jones retire after the 1st season.

Let us do what we want. You made the game. We paid for the game so let us do what we want with it. There should be no reason why we shouldn't be able to create a league all to our own. If someone wanted to change TBrady's rating to a 50 overall we should be able to do that.

Sorry to bring them up but, NBA 2k allows us to do what we want so there's a way to do this without causing any bugs or glitches.

Feel free to pass on this info to the NBA Live/Elite team as well.

i just want to edit draft classes and i want draft to be randomized, so that will not be classes. it will be more challenging to draft.
I dont want any prospect coming over 80. The highest overall is a 82.
The ratings should be spread out. Their our alot of short qbs. it is hard to figure out who are power backs without the weights.
There a lot of 85 plus prospects coming in. there should be only around 5 total in the game.

Is this going to be in the 1.05 patch?

[michapop9]

would love to hear some info on this, Im guessing with this last patch being the final one, this feature wont be included in madden 11 even tho it sounded like it might at first. Just would like to hear an update.
