Official Madden '16 PS4 Online league thread: DOTA says

Going through my solo league draft to see if any major changes in the actual draft process this year. In this league, the fastest HB ran a 4.46, but a bunch of backs over 7.5 combine grade.
Not a single QB looks even marginal. Best has B+ short accuracy, and mid/deep have to be B- or worse.

When you click on adjust roster this year, it actually says "Moving players to new positions can have permanent penalties. For example, moving a WR to TE will have a permanent speed hit even if moved back to WR".

Eznark would have appreciated the warning last year.

Somnia! I just read that deadspin article on that piece of human garbage, Greg Hardy. You must be so proud to have him on your dumpster of a team.

That article really highlights what I'm sure everyone knew before. Dude should be in prison.

Not sure why they are posting the article now. Will Goodell ban him forever too now? Will we be force fed more commercials of famous people crying into the camera? Edit - I obviously don't support Hardy's actions - I just don't know what deadspin is doing posting this. Anything for more clicks!

Anyway - There are some fucking STUDS throughout the draft, and even the guys that the game says aren't worth first round picks or whatever round, are actually pretty good based on my findings.

Here's what I do, I take all of the ratings I get uncovered and put them all in a spreadsheet. So like I will have all of the MCV or ZCV ratings for corners, I will sort them and highlight the top 5 and bottom 5 MCV guys, those are the true stand outs. I do that for every rating across the board. If I get guys that hit on multiple ratings that I like I put them on a separate list and I begin to sort them. The guys that hit multiple categories as bottom 5 go into the dumpster. The guys that are good I pluck them out and put them into a list for ranking up and down based on need and potential creative use. Like LJ was saying, part of the fun of the late rounds was getting those LBs with like 95 ACC and just shit tackle or whatever that tanks their ratings - they have a use just not an immediate use.

Should we just pretend it didn't happen? Milwaukee paper did a big expose on LeTroy Guion last week, after he returned from suspension. I think it's useful to have that information.

The constant media harassment of Josh Luedke probably is what got him essentially blackballed from baseball. Hopefully the same happens to guys like Hardy and Guion.

I mean you're right, he is a piece of shit, but what do they expect to happen as a result of this post?

Yeah sorry for not responding I just got back to my desk.

Yeah, I would love the trade but there is one guy in particular who would be a perfect fit for me and I don't want to miss out if he is available.

Alright. Well if he gets chosen, don't be afraid to offer it again during the draft.

Wheelin' and dealin', gentlemen!

Anyone early in the second, I'm interested in moving up!

lol deadspin doesn't give a fuck about Greg Hardy past the amount of hits his story generates. Like all "journalists" in 2015.

You think the league didn't see this evidence before? They should just kick these guys out of the league when the evidence is known not after public outrage.

Of course they should, but they're disingenuous, self-righteous pieces of shit. So, it's up to the public to police them because they won't police themselves.

That's my point. The league doesn't care. That's why you post the story. You get the public so pissed off that the league has to do something. That being said, obviously deadspin did it for the clicks

Maybe I scouted the wrong guys, but I'm not finding my specialists like I did in years past. Where' my freak LB with crazy HPW and Speed that I can just put on ST and have him cause fumbles on returns? Or the shitty WR who had some speed and not much else outside of elusiveness/juke. Haven't really spotted those late round guys I would try to snatch up.

I literally don't even know what position I'd have to slot a LB into "make sure he shows up on Punt Coverage"

The game's passed me by

Should have drafted Thursday! I'm now terrified I'm going to get stuck at work and miss the first two rounds. CPU will draft me scrubs.

The only solace is I was planning a long reach in the first round. Maybe that guy will be available if I make it home for the second round.

No such thing as long reaches in Madden league. I remember a projected 7th going in the early 1st round!

I'm not sure about Punt Coverage, but your 2nd String MLB, SS, Rolb, Lolb, FS, along with your 3rd and 4th string CB are all on KR coverage.

So did people need pictures to know Greg Hardy is a piece of garbage? The info has been out there for a long time.

Luke, use your power of persuasion to get me an Overwatch beta invite.
