Madden NFL 13 Video - Live Draft in Connected Careers Mode

[jfsolo]

I don't doubt that the Draft A.I. needs work, it always needs work in every sports game every year. If that team has a need for a superstar player at that position then it doesn't bother me if the CPU picks that player.

I know that most people want the game to mimic NFL conventional wisdom/dogma that says that position X can't be drafted here, so they must trade down get some more picks, and pay that player less money.

I don't mind if the game eschews that line of thinking and has other players besides QB's, DE's, and LT's go number one.

Even though the CPU teams don't actually "know" it, it's probably better for them to just take the player who they really, really want no matter what their pick is. Since the other CPU teams aren't going to be following the traditional NFL blueprint, any player may be taken at any time. I bet Users are going to be losing out on players they really want over and over again because they will keep expecting the CPU to behave like NFL zombies.

No. A TE. Ok then, all I know is NFL teams would never let your dumb a$$es anywhere near their board on draft day.

You realize this is a video game right? Does it matter if the guy is white in a video game? Maybe he has better ratings than every other receiver....I don't know....just maybe....lol

And as somebody already said, the Dolphins don't need a LT or QB. You know what they do need? Weapons for Tannehill. Looks to me like they added one in that draft...

Probably not. But crazier things have happened.

I think that's a good thing. In the real world draft nowadays, no-one can truly predict what is going to happen. Look at this years draft. Washington taking Cousins when there was seemingly no need and the Jags taking Anger so early. I don't feel it's such a bad thing. It means we have to be smarter with our scouting and drafting.

Remember dude, it's still a game, in real life someone would have taken the 2nd pick from the Dolphins....but this isn't real life is it?

True, alot of this sh*t isn't what I see on sundays either. What am I thinking!?! haha
