how to pair the right players for boosting ratings

Question

ok so i see plenty of teams in my league with 3 combine players and 2 of them are normally 98s but are 99s with higher ratings on their team. is it because they have 3? i am struggling upgrading my 101 defense. i got porter and waynes as last 2 cbs but they are better thab most (rating wise) other options. if i get 2 combine players to add to go with my von miller will that boost the 2 new ones (buchanon and milliner)? is that how its done?

or is it because he has 1 nfl draft player on defense? is there a strategy guide anywhere for this?

i added a 98 cb who had better stats than waynes in 6 of the 10 visible categories but defense dropped from 101 to 98... im bout to give up

Answer

In addition to what CalgaryGuy said, look for players that boost attributes all players have. Boosts to AWR, speed and strength are great because all players (off/def/sp) have them. Boosts to tackling, jumping, catching, blocking are limited because not all players on your team benefit from those boosts.

Answer

There are some players that boost an attribute of all other players. Flashback, Draft and Game Changers will affect ALL other players in your lineup. For example, if you have a Draft CB with +1 AWR, it will boost the AWR of ALL other players in your active lineup. Game Changers give a +2 boost but also have a -1 for another attribute. If someone has completed the Domination event and earned Domination Richard Sherman that will add +5 AWR to ALL players. The boosts stack, so you can have 2 +1 AWRs for a total +2 AWR but you cannot boost an attribute above 99.

Captains and MVP players will boost only the players on the same real life NFL team (as they were at the beginning of last season). So if you have MVP Jay Cutlet he will boost all other Chicago Bears only.

If you go to this site, http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/list/10332648.page#34905652 , it gives you an idea of which boosts are better than others. Awareness (AWR) is the best. It also links to an EA spreadsheet that shows you how each of the attributes contributes to OVR for each position

If you are looking for general advice on the game I would recommend the EA Madden Mobile Forum (http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/forums/show/3936.page) or MUTHead (http://www.muthead.com/forums/madden-nfl-mobile)
