H2o Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 OK, I'm 30+ and I still play video games. I admit it. I simulated a season with the updated roster on NCAA 09 which had the updated player ratings of all the prospects for the draft. I then exported and saved the draft class. I put in the Madden game a few days later and simulated a season to get to the draft. This is what happened: Marcus Freeman was a top 5 prospect at OLB, that was a surprise. Stafford and Freeman were top 5 prospects with Sanchez coming in as a 2nd. Laraunitis was the highest rated MLB and just a 1st round prospect. Aaron Curry was rated as a 1st-2nd. Maualuga was rated as a 3rd round prospect and he was one of the highest rated players on NCAA 09. Robert Ayers was the highest rated DE in the draft as a top 10 prospect. Everett Brown was a 1st. Orakpo was a 3rd, Maybin was a 3rd, Barwin was a 3rd, English was a 3rd, and so was Shaughnessy. Crabtree was rated a 1st, but not top 10. Same for DHB, Harvin, Maclin, Nicks, and Britt. Oher was the highest rated OT as a top 10 pick. Monroe and Andre Smith were 1st round prospects also. The rest of the guys filled out in the 2nd and beyond. Luigs came in as the highest rated C prospect along with Unger in the 2nd-3rd rating. Caldwell, Wood, and Mack were all 3rd round prospects. Pettigrew and Cook were rated as 2nd-3rd round prospects with the other "most mentioned" coming in between the 3rd and 6th. Raji, Jerry, Hood, Brace, and the rest of the DT's didn't even show up as prospects until the 2nd-3rd. The corners were pretty much rated the same way they are now with the order being Davis, Jenkins, Butler, Macho Harris(exception), and Alphonso Smith all spreading out over the first 2 rounds. Patrick Chung came out the highest rated S, but was only a 3rd prospect. Herman Johnson and Duke Robinson were the highest rated OG's with the 2nd round prospect label. That's about all I can remember. I just found it pretty funny the way the DE's showed up. Most of the others had higher ratings than Ayers except for Barwin and English. I know, I know, but I found it a little interesting.

Shanahan's Horseshoe Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 Married with two kids son. Then that cements your status as the the #1 overall prospect!
H2o Posted March 30, 2009 Author Posted March 30, 2009 Then that cements your status as the the #1 overall prospect! OK, if you say so smart guy

The Big Cat Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 If you're 30+ and playing video games, consider yourself ahead of the curve. By the time people my age (24) are in their 30's, a much higher concentration will still be gaming. By the time people 12 years and younger are in their 30's, video games will be a part of he lives of just about everybody under the age of 60, largely because of how they will have evolved by then. I've Simmed/Super Simmed my way through six post-2009 seasons now, but made FA signings and trades that weren't necessarily fantastical, but definitely some bold moves. Since my squad has made it to the Super Bowl or the AFC Championship in 4 of those 6 years, I usually draft LATE in the first round, which makes first rounders easy to part with in trades. I haven't added T.O. to any of the rosters yet.

2020 Our Year For Sure Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 Check that H20, you may have competition. Please try to keep up. Gaming has already shed the whole 'geeky' stigma.
Hazed and Amuzed Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 Please try to keep up. Gaming has already shed the whole 'geeky' stigma. Yeah man, I'm not a gamer myself but at 31 I know plenty around my age that are.

JPicc2114 Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 Ya I thought by now I wouldnt be playing video games anymore, but here we are in 09 and I Still like to play em.
The Big Cat Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 only gamers say this You mean just how only people who frequent message boards defend message boards?
Shanahan's Horseshoe Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 Please try to keep up. Gaming has already shed the whole 'geeky' stigma. I get it, I play a little. That being said, I'm not going to write up a Madden draft prospectus and post it online.
1billsfan Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 I get it, I play a little. That being said, I'm not going to write up a Madden draft prospectus and post it online. I love this post. It's a reminder to everyone that over half of the first rounders we are all discussing and arguing over are going to be busts in the vein that they'll become average to below average NFLers that should have been never been ranked as first rounders. It's like we're arguing over funny money. It's so weird when a DE prospect like Maybin is being considered as a top fifteen pick when the guy weighed 230 lbs a few months ago. Especially after OU's Gholston flamed out so badly for the Jets. So in conclusion, I agree with the Madden game and think that Ayers is the much better prospect.
dib Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 I'm well over 30 and still play video games, and yes I get laid. I also target shoot, scuba dive, weight lift, and read extensively. In addition I collect lead soldiers and paint my own. I used to play Avalon Hill games but lately I've drifted away from that. What's my point? Bite me if you don't like it.
May Day 10 Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 Im 30 and play video games. On My Madden I played 1 season, drafted, played another season, drafted, then I finished my NCAA 09 season. I uploaded the seniors into Madden, so in my 3rd Madden season which is 2010, I am scouting the current draft class, which I already played on NCAA. My XBox football universe is like the Lost version. All sorts of time paradox. The draft class actually came out pretty realistically. NCAA 09 destroys Madden btw
