Complete Custom Draft Class of College and Pro Legends for Those Interested
HI All,
I spent a considerable amount of time creating a draft class completely full of pro and college legends. There are no CPU generated players whatsoever. All players have correct height, weight, position (as much as possible), numbers and gear (did my best to match face masks, helmets style may be off). I figured I spent enough time on it that it should be open to the community to enjoy should anyone be interested.
A few notes for transparency:
- All looks and numbers are based on the player's college accessories and numbers where possible. Some players played college ball too long ago that I couldn't find any pictures or footage and had to go with their pro numbers and accessories. The reason I chose the numbers from college is a lot of the players played before the NFL loosened it's rules around numbering and maybe didn't have their favorite number in the pros because they weren't allowed to.
- The draft order is based on reputation, not on overall. So some players projected in the 5th may be better than some projected in the 2nd. That way it makes it more like an authentic draft.
- Ratings are based on how the player performed compared to their peers, but could be based off their college skills OR their pro skills. As such, someone who was a complete flop in the pros may still be good in the draft class. You can call it redemption for the guys who didn't make despite excellent college careers. Generally speaking, the class varies from about 82 overall to 99. If this is too high for your liking, feel free to adjust. You have the base there for whatever you want to do with it.
- Madden's profanity filter is really bad so anyone named "Willie" is now William. Apparently Thorpe is also a curse word, so it is now Thorp. Jim Langer is now Langir because apparently Langer is profanity. Manti keeps censored even though it's not flagged for profanity when you enter it. Anyone named "D*ck" is now Richard (i.e. Richard Butkus). Damien Woody is now Damien Woodee.
- I intentionally left some sensational pros out because I plan to do another class. The 2nd class will be complete QB, RB, WR, FB, and K. I don't know how many I'll have at other positions because they're harder to recall players since they're less glorified. So if you like this class, be on the look out for the 2nd to add to it.
- What my friend and I did was sim season 1, then trade for the max pics we could get. We took a pick every 5 picks for up to 6 per round. This led to us getting about half our team full with pros and also filling up the CPU teams with studs to make them much harder to play. Then we took some of the undrafted free agents to make our team two deep with legends.
- Every player is 21 years old to start to ensure they can be enjoyed for many years. You may need to turn salary cap off if you plan on drafting a lot of them.
- There are a few Easter Eggs in there so look out for those.
- If a legendary player is still in the game, I did not create them. As such, someone like Cam Newton or Ndamukong Suh will not be created even though they're legendary worthy.
You can find the class by searching "ProCollege". It is the only one that pops up, but to be sure, it will say it's created by "MikeFromKansas." Any questions (i.e. if someone's name gets censored when you download it and you need to know who it is to correct it) or feedback, let me know. If you enjoy it, also let me know.
