** SPOILERS ** Madden 13 Draft Class Guide

[Fr8Train]

I thought I had read that M13 had 900 draft classes, not 30?

This is awesome, i started my scouting for the draft this morning and am seeing that the development is quick or superstar on the guys i was already targeting.

Under Zach Richmonds story lines one story stated Zach is better than Parks. Is this a glitch that Parks isnt in the draft? Or is it that he is coming out in the following years draft?

I have the same draft, but Parks never showed up in any of the stories. i might have missed him in the scouting as i havnt gotten completely into it yet, but i would assume that means he is coming out in the next draft.

If you use the guid for all other player you should have enough points to fully scout story line players Honestly I am sorry from being mean but what is so difficult to understand? Read before you criticis

Honestly I'm sorry for you that your IQ is so low that you can't understand the intent of my post. How stupid are you? I think that it was pretty clear that I WASNT criticizing their efforts/work but CURIOUS as to how they did the guide/accounted for certain circumstances... Also, if you're going to try to insult my intelligence please prove that you have some intelligence of your own, correct grammar is appreciated

On a side note, has anyone noticed if a storyline player's development trait is subject to change? For example, if they have a bad season does that only affect their ratings or does it affect their development trait as well...

Sorry to disappoint you Fr8 but you were not cynical enough about EAs lies. There are 30 classes with 900+different scenarios. That is why they state the 900 number. All of the non storyline players will remain the same, the differences in class come in the 7-10 storyline players. Things like injuries, going to broadway, entering another sport and other various twists is where you get the difference.

What it really comes down to with this guide is that you no longer need to scout the non storyline players development and you can just focus on the attributes that you deem important. Based on the twists during the season you should have a good idea of where the storyline players will be as far as development and other skills.

Hope this helps a little.

My question had multiple parts... I never disagreed that part of my post was answered by the intro because my question asked them to explain that in a more in-depth way. It seems like you can't comprehend a paragraph because you didn't realize that I asked multiple questions... Regardless, I don't feel like dealing with a Mets fan and someone that is most likely under the age of 14.

Anyways, I would appreciate it if you guys could answer my questions, or at least the one about projected picks. Thanks.

This is awesome. Can't wait to see draft #4, as that's my current season

For example, what happened if a storyline player dropped out of the draft? Did you restart the current season? Another question is when did you take note of a player's projected draft position (it changes throughout the season for some players)?

Currently, the guide is not complete in regards to storyline players. We are still doing research and in fact are asking for our guide users to assist if possible. We have some theories so far as to when (ie, what point in the CC) the storyline arcs are determined, among other aspects, but will hold off on discussing them until we have some more information.

If a storyline player dropped out of the draft, that did not affect any of the other players in the draft that we're aware of (other than a pick or two difference in projection), so there would be no reason to reload.

We noted the players' projected draft positions in stage 7 of the offseason (right before the draft). Again, only storyline players will change, as stated in the guide, and that info (for storyline players) cannot be relied on to be accurate until we know most or all of the story arcs.

I can't tell you how disappointed this makes me. The last 2 years I made my own draft guides for people at the MSL, that included all the ratings and progressions... I was hoping those days were gone lol....at least I don't have to worry about 3 year progressions
