** SPOILERS ** Madden 13 Draft Class Guide

[rdm1800]

Welcome to the Madden 13 Draft Class Guide. This guide is the culmination of another team effort by CFraychineaud (Head Coach 09, Madden 10, Madden 12 Draft Guides) and rdm1800 (Madden 11, Madden 12 Draft Guides). We have spent many hours creating this guide from scratch and we hope you all enjoy it.

About the Development Trait

The new "Potential" rating for Madden 13 is now called "Development." This guide lists all rookies that have slow, fast or star development, and all storyline players separately. If a player in your draft is not listed in this guide, you can generally assume that they are Normal (Avg) development. If you have trouble understanding this guide, your development may be "slow."

Storyline Players

Storyline players will have variable attributes based on the story arc they follow throughout each particular Connected Career. Initially, we only have data for one or two of those possible story arcs for each player, so you may need to scout those players on your own until we receive enough feedback to account for most or all of the possible outcomes for each player. We would appreciate help with this in order to make the guide complete for those particular players.

Draft Class Order

The order of the draft classes this year is always the same. The starting point, however, is random. When you create a new CCM, it will randomly select one of the 30 draft classes to start with and then proceed in the order that we have them listed. For example, if your first draft class is #8 in the guide, your next class will be #9, followed by #10 and so on, until it loops completely around.

We are posting this guide before being completely finished because people wanted to use what we had. Currently we have more than half of the guide completed but should have most of the storyline players listed. Search the guide for a couple storyline players in your draft to see if its been added. The rest of the guide should be completed in the next few days.

Seeing as how Madden tried to make it so it was hard to create draft guides this year, I am curious about the method that you used to evaluate the players. For example, what happened if a storyline player dropped out of the draft? Did you restart the current season? Another question is when did you take note of a player's projected draft position (it changes throughout the season for some players)?

**I'm not staying I do or don't support the guide, just curious as to how you went about its creation**

YES!!!! Thank you so much for all the time that went into this; imo this guide is organized perfectly. 1000 internet points for each of you.

i just came to this realization last night. i thought since the first draft was random they all were.

kinda wish they were all random and the players names were randomized to make drafting a little harder -- if i so wish (yes, sometimes it's nice to "know" who the players are in a draft but once i get my core guys (QB, running back, FS, etc.) i kinda want a bit of a hit and miss challenge.

thanks.
