How does the draft class look? Who are the top prospects? How's your spread of picks?

So I've got Cam Newton throwing a 130 QBR with 8 TD's to 1 INT through 3 games and I've just re-signed Canton-bound Haile Anderson to a 6 year, $100+ million contract
What else do I do but draft a backup in the 6th, young Marshyl Levingston, who is already 74 overall and has super star development. Given him the ball 8 times across two games and he's accumulated 66 yards and a long 35 yard TD.
Farewell Toronto's vaunted passing offence

So 16 is boss, proper love the new scouting and combine stuff.
First selection as the London Monarchs with the #1 overall pick was QB Luke Rowland. Was 83 OVR and superstar development but he's struggled through his first season and a half (3900yds 23TD 19INT in his rookie season) as I get used to how different the game is to old gen madden 25
Running is really tough, having to try and break all my habits cos they just don't work, most notably holding down rt at all times to sprint cos it gives you the maneuverability of a small boeing

I always find that once the rb picks up the ball, hit LT to stutter step and then go from there using sprint. The holes usually take a second or two longer than you'd like to open up.

Found that changing the camera angles back to the one I'm used to made a real difference. Rowland struggled again with turnovers in year 2 (3,800-27-21) but the Defense went from 28th in the league last year to 3rd this and I went from 6-10 to 12-4
Made it to the Superbowl against the seahawks. #1 ranked D against the #3 so, naturally, it's the highest scoring SB in history as Luke Rowland goes super saiyan in a 430 yard, 6TD performance as we win 49-45. Just three drives didn't end in points; 1 punt, 1 interception by Wilson and my taking a knee at the end.

just annihilated Arizona to win Toronto their fourth super bowl in ten seasons.
Third time beating Arizona (2020, 21, 24) and their fourth loss on the big stage since I started this game.
Cam Newton at 36 won League and SB MVP, accumulated over 5,800 yards and 50 TDs through out it all. Rewarded with a one year extension (again) of $18mil.
If I could just find a competent understudy.

2025 season drawing to a close and I'm 99% sure Arizona are facing their fourth Super Bowl loss at the Poutine-covered hands of Toronto
Spoke to soon, just lost 27-26. Converted a 56 yard field goal on the cusp of HT to take what I thought would be a 12-6 lead into the third quarter but I managed to give away a 101 yard return from the resulting coffin-cornered kick-off. Devonta Freeman picked it up within the one yard line and by the time he'd hit the 15 he was away from all my Special Team players. Couldn't get anything going until the final two minutes and by that point Teddy B had already gotten them 14 more on two touchdown runs (34 and 55 yards respectively), god damn all-out blitzes when they don't work.
Newton finished 24/34 for 415 yards, 3 TDs and 2 INTs as well as a failed 2-pt conv whilst we were trailing in the third which ended up biting us all the way at the end.
Pretty horrific game in all, always feels like the CPU becomes insanely accurate in the SB, even though Bridgewater is Arizona's third string QB.

In the 2023 season now, Luke Rowland's 7th year in the league and the 3rd of his 6 year, $130m deal. Been an up-and-down investment tbh, turnovers been an issue throughout but an inability to last 16 games has become a worrying trend
2017: 3,849yds (58%), 23-19, 77.1 QBR 2018: 3,869yds (62%), 27-21, 84.6 QBR - SuperBowl winners 2019 (12 games): 2,918yds (64%), 26-8, 101.6 QBR - SuperBowl winners 2020 (14 games): 3,167yds (60%), 26-12, 91.6 QBR 2021 (14 games): 3,519yds (65%), 27-14, 97.2 QBR 2022 (12 games): 2,718yds (60%), 18-13, 87.3 QBR
Missed the playoffs for the first time since 2017 last year at 7-9, fired Andy Reid and implemented a new offense, so far, so good.

Yankees have just done me a massive favour by drafting predicted first round quarterback Fabian Roberts in the first round of the MLB draft.
He went from a top ten pick to potentially undrafted before I snagged him at the beginning of the fourth.
First game of the 2025 season and he throws for 527 yards and 5 touchdowns, as well as running in the game winning touchdown at the end of Over time. Scenes.

I think Madden is broken.
I'm at the start of the third quarter and they're sitting at 19 false start penalties.

Haven't been back to the Super Bowl in nearly 6 seasons now, but in 2031 I probably have some of the most talented individuals but I can't seem to get over the christmas hump (lost the last 5 games of the year, 3 years on the bounce)
Fabian Roberts has 3 years and about $50million left to do something other than turn the ball over 18 times a year, a 37 year old Lakieth Patterson is currently leading my receiving corps with a speed and agility rating of 61 due to injuries and I'm also wasting the two best skill position players in the game-- TE Artez Cross (3,066 yards and 38 TDs in 2 years), and SS Roderick Johnes (DROTY, DPOTY, 6 interceptions and 250+ tackles his first two years).
Need to get into the play offs and stay there because right now I'm averaging about $50mil a year which is going straight back out on contracts and renovations, desperate for that $40mil or so you get from a Super Bowl win
