Madden NFL 25 Connected Franchise Q&A with Josh Looman

VSN:*Can draft classes be edited? Are they randomly generated? Josh Looman:*They won’t be randomly generated. All new players. You will be able to go in and edit their names, positions and numbers but you won’t be able to edit ratings.

I like the sound of that.
I bet you'll be able to share them as well, hence the "Madden Share" feature.

Changing schemes should be a lot better now that we can edit positions. So if I decide the packers are gonna be 4-3 team on defense I can move Clay to DE. Hopefully it won't be like it is in the past and most linebackers become 99 rated DE.

I actually really want them to change that. I am very glad change position is in and I expected it to work as it always has, but moving forward they need to be better at translating position to position. Not just any 3-4 OLB can put his hand in the dirt and be a 4-3 DE. I suspect that Clay could be effective in that move and I am not really talking about high end players like Clay Mathews or Ware or Aldon Smith, but not every OLB should jump in OVR by moving them to DE.

I would not mind a sliding scale of AWR/PRC dropping for moving players - IE you move a player from OLB to DE - he loses 5-15 AWR points and PRC points because he now has to learn a new position - experienced players would lose less points and younger players would more likely be at the upper end of the 5-15 scale...

Huh?? Which guys have potential to be sleeper or busts? What about the rest of the players in the draft? Why am I so confused by this? Why can't they just say we have storyline players that have 2-4 different variations of stories and everybody else in the draft is random? Why is that so hard? Can somebody please break this down for me cause I seem to be lost in the sauce lol.

Pissed that player rating edits aren't allowed again. Looman is terrible. He single handedly ruined Madden imo with CCM.

Thank you JP, but if he says exactly what you just said, I still will have no idea what he's talking about lol. I'll check it out anyway to see if what he says clears everything up. Anybody know where archived shows for game Changers radio are or more specifically this particular show with looman?
