Drafting for Madden 15

helimachoptor · 17-05-2014 3:07pm #1

inspired by Paullys post... please dont throw any games :pac:

Drafting will be based off results for season 2 and 3 and the season 1 file somehow became corrupt, I'm going to get onto EA to see if we could get them to recover the standings but i would doubt it..

As always there is a minimum threshold of games to play in order to get your place on the draft, as we've had a few guys move onto the XBO, I'm prepared to reduce this from the standard 2 season (32 games) to 1.5 seasons (26 games)

Based just on season 2.. i am picking my team 12th..

Paully D · 17-05-2014 3:28pm

Could you post the current standings if possible mate?

helimachoptor · 17-05-2014 3:48pm

This is just for Season 2, there are 3/4 groups that have the same winning % so the order will definitely move at the end of season 3, I've excluded lads who are on XBO as they wont be coming back i'dimagine

Cheers mate.

Hopefully we'll have the vast majority of that 20 back and be able to recruit a few more players too. It'd be nice to get around 20-25 human players. Tough with the Xbox One transition though.

I'd be picking 15th based on that, probably there or thereabouts with where I will be picking when all is said and done. Good opportunity to land a decent team, one either in win now mode or one I can build.

Whats the story with platform? Xbox One???

helimachoptor · 17-05-2014 4:31pm

not unless you are buying it for everyone...!

I'll be 360 til at least Xmas

adrian522 · 17-05-2014 4:54pm

Don't see myself buying madden on the 360, it'd be xbox one for me if I'm playing it next season

linebacker52 · 17-05-2014 6:03pm

I wont be playing on 360 next year.

Raoul · 18-05-2014 10:45pm

I don't know if I will be back on the 360. Hope that the league doesn't fall apart!

I think there's a good chance that it will, but just for Madden 15. By Madden 16 the vast, vast majority of us will be on Xbox One and the league back to normal.

helimachoptor · 19-05-2014 9:34am

Yep agree, i think 15 will be a challenge and it will be tough to keep it going but if we do we should have a good group for Madden 16

guns4all · 07-07-2014 5:03pm

BUMP

Any update on draft rankings or ya just gonna wait till after the Superbowl?

helimachoptor · 07-07-2014 7:49pm

should get a chance to stick them up tomorrow

madalig12 · 07-07-2014 7:55pm

Ouch. id have the number one pick but i wont be getting this for 360. I made the playoffs in season one but had a disasterous second season. Best of luck. hopefully will be back in 2016.

helimachoptor · 08-07-2014 5:40pm

i have this done but just need to tidy up the data, but Ali you are right you'd have been number 1 if you were coming back.

We have 8 teams on the same win % so i just need to check conf/division games to see whos better, should get that done this evening and will post up the draft order.

Have included rock/adrians play off game

helimachoptor · 08-07-2014 10:06pm

A couple may drop off,

Gary hasnt played much this season due to a live issue.
Berty likely wont be back.

Changes may happen due to play off games etc.

€100 on mike picking the Ravens :pac:

Cheers, only had him down for 2 play off wins when it should be 3...

empacher · 08-07-2014 11:08pm

I'm pretty sure I should be be behind Pauly??

helimachoptor · 08-07-2014 11:32pm

Will check in the morning may be a play off issue

PADRAIC.M · 08-07-2014 11:50pm

Oh how far I've falling... 4th pick last year :-(

Paully D · 09-07-2014 12:28am

Cheers Heli, top work.

Dave loves his TE's - Vernon Davis is one of the best and along with the 49ers being an elite team they are going to prove too tempting to pass up. San Francisco clear favourites to go #1 right now I think.

Ravens are going top 3 without a doubt as if Mike doesn't take them Pudsy will be all over them. If Gatsby doesn't want a change, he'll take the Falcons. I'm unsure what Gary will do but Rock takes the Eagles if they are there at #6, Heli takes the Titans at #7. After that, I haven't got a clue.

I wonder if anyone will surprise us in the first few picks? The Browns with Manziel are likely to be one team that those near the top might consider for a number of reasons. Jaguars will be a nice building project. That's before you even consider teams like the Saints who are in win now mode. Hopefully we can get the 17 players or more anyway as it makes the draft to pick teams and everything else too much more exciting with a lot of human players.

helimachoptor · 09-07-2014 8:42am

Pudsy is now the happiest man in the league as he leaps above Mike and therefore almost certainly gets the Ravens. :pac:

Empacher picking after me so he now gets to follow me into whatever division I go in to and cause me hell for the year! :pac:

helimachoptor · 09-07-2014 12:03pm

Going to be some interesting choices...

Sehawks wont have much cap
Broncos are loaded with talent that could well retire in year one
Texans look to be an awesome D but not much else
Titans will have a good 0-line and a decent D-line
Colts will be great on O but if they lose Mathis their D is useless

some quality teams through out
