From pro-football-reference.com:
Among the league's all-time top 50 rushers:
Rushing Attempts: 10th (ahead of OJ and Earl Campbell)
Rushing yards: 13th (also ahead of OJ and Earl)
Rushing TDs: 5th (ahead of Sanders, OJ and Earl)
Yards from scrimmage: 23th (ahead of OJ and Earl)
Rush/Receive TDs: 9th (Tied with Terrell Owens)
So yea, I'd say Riggins qualifies as a Gold--not a 5-talent gold, but definitely a 3 talent.
Oh and BTW it's your pick too.
i don't think TD should be a gold. He had like 2-3 good years. before that i doubt you heard of the guy. After his good seasons, he went out with an injury. Bo Jackson was unstoppable, cut down by an injury, he's a silver. MOVE TD DOWN!!!!!
also, can we make players that aren't on that list? Like Bill Bates from the cowboys?

I don't know, the dude totally dominated for 4 seasons before getting hurt. He only played in 20 games over the next three seasons after that, so really he dominated for 4 out of what amounted to 5 seasons in his career. If Bo's a gold, so is this guy.
16-game averages - 1500 yards, 12TDs, 4.6 yards per carry

That would screw up everything though in my opinion. Because if the juice was available after your pick I'm sure someone would have went a different direction. So that chain reaction would be crazy. Maybe in this case FMT would consider allowing you to trade with matt if both of you agreed? Eh actually theres not a good way to deal with this situation :lol .

yes, this is going to be on aim. i will restate that:
THE DRAFT FOR ROUNDS 2-11 WILL BE ON AIM IN A ROOM CREATED BY MYSELF! IF YOU DON'T HAVE AIM I SUGGEST YOU DL IT, IT WILL TAKE YOU LITERALLY 5 MINS TO GET ALL SETUP. THEN YOU CAN DELETE IT IF YOU ARE THAT OPPOSED TO HAVING AN AIM ACCOUNT... I DON'T KNOW WHY YOU WOULD BE THOUGH.

Furthermore if you don't have an AIM account I assume at this point its because... Actually I have no idea but here's the direct link to download AIM:

LeBron loves his girlfriend. There is no other woman in the world hed rather have. The problem is, Dwyanes not a woman.
FMT just pick for me since I'm not sure when im getting my 360 back and someone else might have to use the team.
I just want one more player if he's around....WR Ernest Givens!
I also havent had a week to prepare.

Has anyone tried creating a runningback (gold, silver or bronze) with Branching Tackles? I just played 3 games against the different-caliber team defenses and the red circle (where you tap A to break a tackle) appeared just once. Something's seriously wrong with that. I noticed in the career star for the created player it said "Years Pro: 1". Anyone know if that is a factor in attributes? If everyone is going to have to play several offline seasons to get their created players playing at full potential we're gonna be waiting a while to start the season.

I think we should kick Hunter D from the league. You promised that spot to Unomas, FMT. It's only fair.

I'm hoping that there is a hidden easter egg that unlocks a super powerful beast when you name your created player Bo Jackson, so it won't be an issue for me.
Also, I'm not sure if it's fair to have 4 and 5 ability created players just for the idiots like me who will run through the game fairly quickly to unlock all of the achievements, as much as I'd love to give Bo 5....
Do we have a definitive list of the created players that are eligible to be drafted? With the new list, what does that do to our overall list as far as # of golds/silvers/bronzes? Can someone throw that list into an Excel sheet or something (complete with columns) so we'll all have good tools to help us draft our team tonight?
Don't bother creating Bo Jackson matt, the create a player is definitely broken. I created a different Gold running back with stamina, branching tackles and speed burner, and not only did he only break 1 tackle (red circle) during the game I played, but he also could not play more than 6-8 carries in a drive (unlike Earl who can go 14 or more per drive). He also was caught by several non-star linebackers and even a d-lineman on runs to the outside and down the field!
I've played 8 practice games between the two created Golds and they performed miserably compared to any game-roster Gold.
Lonestar, have you tried your created Joe Namath yet? I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't play even close to any other same-tier QB.
If this is how created Gold-tier players perform, forget it. I'm going to change my pick to a game-roster Gold instead (and I'd suggest the other 1st rounders who picked the option of creating Gold-tier players do the same).

looking at the list now, i had the wrong abilities for terrell davis though. i didnt have the ankle breaker ability on, which doesnt apply to him anyway imho :lol
i have created a few players with a stamina ability and they seem to never tire. as far as RB's go and the branching tackle, its all a matter of how you use the rb and what the situation is when you're getting tackled. i get a lot of the red ring things even with scrub rb's for some reason. i've never had a problem with getting caught by other players either, even with a guy who isnt that fast. are you sure you're tapping A for speed burst?

How can we be sure for these created players that they gave them the correct abilities (ie the ones in that list) and not some other ones? Also someone mentioned being able to add more abilities by some unlockable, does that mean someone could get the unlockable and have more features than they normally should?
