Thanks for making me spell it out, lol. I don’t think he resigned with the Rams yet, if he did I missed it. He is an upgrade from any of the safeties the Vikings have now.

only done so poorly that it is annoying.

Each player in the draft that you want detailed information about, you have to scout during the regular season. Scouting consists of just looking at a guys numbers and highlighting them for further review.

Then, depending on a COMPLETELY random algorithm, it tells you the players attributes. But it is almost unreliable, sometimes your scouting will turn up 5 specific ratings for a player (Run Blocking – Fully Scouted – 87, Pass Blocking – Fully Scouted – 82 etc) other times it will say the attribute is unscouted yet, but over/under a certain rating, often times “Under 99” or “higher than 0”.

You do find more hidden gems in later rounds, but it is kind of convoluted because when you scout the player you can clearly see he is good and how much potential he has (I’ll explain potential later) before you even scout him, yet other teams won’t take him until later rounds.

They do have players that improve better than others, that is noted as “potential”. Each player is assigned a potential rating of A-F and that rating can be seen as a bar graph when scouting the player. So there is no real mystery to it.

There are scrambling QB’s who are worth scrambling with, and since all the draft classes are pre-programmed instead of random (lame, I know), you see players that are very similar to real people in the NFL.

For example, 3 years into my franchise we came across a guy named “Michael Bolt” who was a lefty, 6Ft tall 215lbs and had 95 speed, 96 agility, 94 acceleration, 97 throw power and 76 throw accuracy. I wonder who he is?

We played about 5 years of a franchise, before restarting a new one and realized that half of the draft classes were repeated. Which leads to more completely dominant players, but less variety in the players.

The names are kinda clever sometimes. The game is sponsored by Snickers, so “Patrick Chewing” shows up as a Safety in the game.
