Post any draft, rookie scouting, free agent signing, or any other part of your offseason strategies here. As for mine, they go something like this:Rookie Scouting-When scouting, try and steer clear of players with bad interviews, as they're likely to become a virtual burden on your franchise. The better the interview, the more potential they ultimately have.-Decide if you're going to draft a player that's the best available or if you're going for a certain position. Keep in mind that moving a strong safety to play free safety is nothing, but I don't condone moving a quarterback to play on the offensive line...-If there's ever a time where you see a player that's available that is truly too good to pass up, you might as well take him. You might end up kicking yourself in the A** for not pick him up a few years down the line.Free Agency-Look for bargains. Try to look further down the list than just the mid-70's, because there are awesome role players that can be found down in the depths of Madden's ratings. Players such as Maurice Clarett, perhaps... You might not like him, but he's freaking beast on the game, despite his low rating.-Long-term deals are nice and all, but they can hurt you in the long run. A player's contract grows year-by-year, so keep that in mind when signing someone.-Sign as many players as you can to deals without signing bonuses. If you do that, you have the option to release them at any time without having to pay for their bonuses in the next offseason.That's it for me... Post yours and help your fellow Madden-lovers.
I got a question.in this years NCAA 2006 I haven't found a way to upload the rosters so that I can import a draft class onto madden. Does anyone know how to upload the rosters to the hard disk so u can import an NCAA draft class in this? I hate using fake rookies, I like having the actual guys play. Has anyone figured this out for this year's game?
Once I had a great dynasty, got into offseason mode after winning 15 games that season, losing in playoffs, so excited... And then offseason mode killed me, i was crazy over the cap. Started a new dynasty mode, and to be sure that I would keep it, I actually simulated all the way to the offseason and record steps needed to ahve a succeful run. Just simulate to it without saving, find out what you gotta do, and do it.
sign free agents that you don't want/need to 1 year deals with no signing bonus, and then trade them to other teams for draft picks and/or other players you want.
create a player, make him as old as you can be and make all his stats terrible.Then, sign him with no signing bonus and sign him to the lowest amount of money you can. THEN... go in and edit all his stats and make him have ALL 99's. then trade him for WHOEVER you want or WHATEVER you want.He will retire at the season's end and you will have whatever you got. It's like STEALING!

There you go. I hope you understand that.
I finaly figured it out after much trial and errorrrrrr, thanks though manWhen I import the draft, the guys names and #s are the same as they are in NCAA, like Lienart is still QB #11, but my friend has XBOX and NCAA '06 for it like me and when he imports the guys for his draft, the class gets their ACTUAL names. Does it do the same for you? I wish mine did...

You have to have action replay to put it in the xbox though.
this always works, draft a LB who is strong and weights around 260 pound and sign him and convert him to DE, he will own.And also, look for CBs who are tall and around 210 pounds and draft then then after you sign then convert them to FS, money.
