WARNING: Serious draft class glitch (PS3)

[Actinguy1]

Hey all,

I've discovered a serious glitch with draft classes. Yes, I will be posting this in the glitches section, but I also wanted to warn people who "think" they have thirty draft classes ready to roll when Madden comes out...but actually only have one.

If you just play one dynasty, never starting over, etc, then you should be fine.

But if you're like me...simming to 2019 or whatever and then deciding to start over, you may have a serious problem with your draft classes.

Each year, I export my draft classes and name it after the year. So the first draft class file is "2013." Second draft class is "2014." Etc. Easy to do, easy to remember when Madden comes out and I'm trying to figure out which class to import.

But here's the problem: I had draft classes up to 2019. Then I decided to try something different, so I started a new dynasty.

At the end of the year, I discovered a problem. I'd tell it to save over the 2013 draft class...but it would actually say it was saving over 2019. I double checked that I had hit the right draft class. I had. I was able to duplicate it over and over.

Clicking "new file" or "New draft class" or whatever and then naming it "2013" will save over it just fine. But just scrolling down to 2013 and trying to save over it will only save over your most recent draft class.

tl;dr Attempting to save over a draft class does not work properly. It saves over the most recent draft class, NOT the one that you select. Workaround is to type out the name of the draft class again. Then it will save over properly.

Great example of a time when a bug/glitch deserves its own thread! Thanks for sharing this!

I don't really think this is a big deal, I'm not sure it deserves it's own thread

I honestly thought you were being facetious when you posted the first time.

Can't you save each class with a unique name? I only ever played Madden once with imported classes, and it was a few years ago so maybe I'm misremembering, but I think I saved my classes as Team I'm Playing as followed by Year (So like WMU10, WMU11, and so forth. Maybe I'm wrong, this was 3-4 years ago)

I think you should re-read the first post TDenver.. I don't think you're understanding what the glitch is. He did name the draft classes differently.. but the glitch is if you go to overwrite one of the draft classes, it doesn't overwrite the one you pick.. it overwrites the most recent one.


I guess that wouldn't really cost you days of work like I said.. but still its pretty significant of a glitch/bug.

Bleed green has it right. Yes, you can name the classes differently...but if you try to overwrite a class, it overwrites the wrong one.

This could cost someone days of work/play/whatever you want to call it, depending on how they play. It certainly would've cost me, if I hadn't just happened to catch that it was overwriting the wrong class.

Delete old Saved files then save new ones... problem fixed
