Madden 19 classic roster plans and thoughts

[Iteachpercussion]

Alright folks it is time to think about classic rosters for Madden 19. I did not have the beta (very disappointed about that by the way) so no matter what roster I do I will need to do some testing with all of the new ratings.

What I want to do, regardless of the year I create, is then create a few years of draft classes. I will use the real draft classes and create them as accurate as I can, but also completely compatible with my roster.

So, I am currently thinking of either doing 1991 season or 1985 season.

1985 is certainly more iconic with the Chicago Bears. The Dolphins, Patriots, and Raiders were all good in the AFC. The Rams had the big playoff victory over the Cowboys when Dickerson literally ran all over the Cowboys defense.I did a 1985 roster way back on M25 and I think it would be fun to revisit it.

As for 1991, saw the Bills lose the Super Bowl to the Redskins. The Run-N-Shoot was all the rage and the Cowboys were a year away from making the Super Bowl.

I have the majority of the work for both rosters done, at least what I can do now on excel. Adjustments will have to be made once I get the game and check everything.

What is everyone's thoughts? Which year would you like to see, or another year? I am not interested in doing anything in the 2000s.

Those 2 rosters will be great.....also 1982 (Woodstrock Dolphins and The Hogs and The Diesel John Riggins).

1981 was the 49ers first Super Bowl and the legendary 1981 NFC title game. Of course the year of the greatest game I ever saw (and I was there live in person as an 11 year Dolphin fanatic). The infamous double overtime game between the Dolphins and Chargers (The hook and ladder!!!).

Even 1983. Marinos rookie year. Marcus Allen shreds the Redskins in the Super Bowl.

Always love your stuff Percussion. So authentic and lot’s of passion in the creation of your rosters. It oozes nostalgia.

Am I ever so glad to see you making rosters for M19!!! Any year you choose will be gold because all your rosters are legit! Definitely will be using 1991, right before the Cowboys took off and started dominating!

I'm a 70's guy. Any season 76-79 would be great

1991!!! Would be fun to watch that Era unfold

I'll have 1995-1997 up as soon as the PC roster editor is launched. I've already got 2/3 of my 1995 roster done via .csv

.. my dream/fantasy has always been to re-run the 80s, except with no USFL, so Reggie White, Jim Kelly, Steve Young, Gary Zimmerman.. ect all enter the NFL Draft.

I've never found the wherewithal to complete that project.

Is your 85 roster on Madden 25 for PS4? I just bought that game for dirt cheap and would download it if it is available.

No, it is on XBox 360. I did not upgrade to PS4 until Madden 15, and even then it was Christmas when I switched. I did make 1995 and 1989 for M15.
