In my new CC mode he dropped all the way down to the sixth round his new storyline is that he had a brain tumor and bounced back to finish the season. not complaining but just bringing to your attention you missed one. How do you guys determine who are Storyline players?

We check throughout week markers, and so far, this is one of the first ones anyone has said we missed. We might have had a storyline where he dropped out because of the tumor, instead of recovering from it. I don't know for sure. I will put him in and get information for him. As we said earlier, the storyline players will continue to get updated as we and other players find more and more storylines for them. As for our method, Typically we look during week 1, week 8, week 17, and off-season week 7 for storyline players. It is VERY rare that we miss any with checking at each of those markers, but if anyone finds one, let us know. I'm guessing he will most likely be one of the very very few misses.

I think sometimes these guides put too much into 'superstar potential' On my squad Tyrel Pendergrast has slow development and I've got him as a 92 ovr at 6-4 236 with 98 speed. Another guy, Mucci the soccer player is in the low 80's I made him my #4 WR. He's got 99 acc/99 agi and high 80's return. You dont have to get all superstar/quick devs to have really good players. At this point I almost scout attributes that fit my squad more. I took an LDE in the 6th round who had 94 accel in the previous draft. Slow development and I couldnt care less. I dont think I've ever actually checked a guys development in the last 3 drafts. I want good attributes in key areas.

part of the reason the guide uses development for players is that it is automatically one of the most expensive upgrades to get, While, also making it so that players can get experience faster. A Slow player has to be a player that can break records constantly til you get him up in development. His weekly xp gains from goals are less than half of what they could be. So it takes way longer to even get development up to where he could be leveling quickly. Now the only thing that I want to re-emphasize is that WITH the coaches xp upgrade for positions, you only need players to be quick development to get the full xp from weekly goals. However being superstar still makes their season goals more reachable.

I might be making a big deal about one player and I dont mean to but others and I depend on this information but really who cares if you hear a story or not . do you guys have any plans on making a top ten list by position for defense obviously offense would be too much but there only 2 defense's not a big difference in tampa 2 and 4-3 or a dream team list based on scheme ? or at least add scheme to the players you already have listed.I could start a thread myself but as a new member i cant .I know i can scout but I dont.with all the extra time it takes to do basic things its much easier to for me to leave everyone unscouted when drafting. I always save before the draft starts sim it and do my scouting that way by viewing all rookie signings

I started with the Christmas draft in my connected careers and i didn't have Judge as a storyline player. I didn't know that they change. He was never even mentioned once in any of the news feeds. He ended up getting picked 4th overall and still had 95 spd and an 82 overall. But was never mentioned as a storyline player.

I've had draft 27 in two different franchises. The DE from Kentucky Jason Shields in the first draft he had a normal potential and in the second draft he was a star potential. The second draft said that he rebounded in the senior game and left scouts with the mouths open or something like that.Just a little fyi.

The Best I've come across is Rockford Odom. He is in the Leon Jones/Michael Astro draft. Came out with 95 speed, 93 THP, and low 80's for all the accuracy ratings. He's in his second season in my CCM and is already breaking records.

Look at Stacy Knight in draft 15. He has amazing speed with 94 Spd 87 Acc 89 Agi, 96 Throw Power, 80's on almost all throw accuracies. Also comes with many of the 10-20k traits. His is listed on the 2nd tab of the guide. Also that is with the storyline of him being a normal development type, so he probably has better outcomes.

As previously stated; Rockford Odom and Stacy Knight are the two best QB's throughout the classes.

A lot of people talking about Jordan Parks at the start, but in reality you can increase accuracy and THP much more easily than speed/agi/acc. So if you want the best possible QB you want one of the really fast QB's with good THP.

I can use XP and make Knight or Odom a much better QB than Parks after just 1 season.
