Favre4Ever+ 4,476 Posted September 1, 2011 (edited) 1.0 Introduction Welcome one and all to the Madden 2012 Gridiron Palace Vindicators team! If you have taken part in the Vindicators before, feel free to skip this section as there is little here you are not aware of. Who are the TGP Vindicators? Why the Vindicators are YOU, of course. Through this thread, we, the members of TGP, will put effort forth to create a brand new team to enter the fire and attempt to contend in this league! Through Madden 2012, I will guide through the process of creating your very own and unique NFL player. All of our players will have very low attributes to start out with... All of our players will be created and then placed on the same team... THE VINDICATORS. 1.1 The Basics 1. Free Agent Signings w/ players of 80 OVR or higher will be reserved for later in the franchise mode as not to take away time from any created players. 2. There will be caps on certain attributes to limit initial success. The point of this is to start weak, build like crazy, and then become an NFL Dynasty. 3. The simming schedule is NOT SET. I could sim numerous games in one night while other nights nothing gets done. Including the unfortunate erasing of our 2011 Teams, last year (Madden 2011)... We finished 7-8 Seasons. I fully intend to get that number up to 10-12 this year. 4. Everyone is permitted ONE player. Think and choose wisely because once these players are created and placed on the Vindicators... There is no turning back. 2.0 Team Settings And Creation This section is all about the actual team itself, and the stadium we will be playing in. I tried going very in depth with this last year, but it received very little interest (team builder, stadium builder, etc)... So I will be taking on the bulk of these responsibilities myself. What I would like from you is to answer a few simple questions. This is not a requirement however, so feel free to skip these questions if you would prefer. Where would you like the team located? (city & state) What color scheme would like to see for the Vindicators? (Primary & Secondary) Which division would you like to enter, and which team in that division would you like to replace? Dome or Open ? Edited September 2, 2011 by Favre4Ever Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Favre4Ever+ 4,476 Posted September 1, 2011 (edited) 3.0 Player Creation The caps are as follows. Long-time Vindicators will notice that I have upped the awareness levels. What this will do is a couple of things. What I noticed last year was even though we were all in the 90's for key attributes.. We still weren't EPIC because awareness levels very very slowly. Also, with a higher awareness level... That means your initial stats in other categories will be LOWER than a year ago in order to fit under the unchanging OVR caps. Thus... We will be VERY VERY bad at first. But in the long term, this team should be even better than our 2 Time Super Bowl Champion team from a year ago. Age 18-21 max AWR 68 MAX OVR 75 Age 22-25 max AWR 72 MAX OVR 77 Age 26-29 max AWR 75 MAX OVR 80 Age 30+ max AWR 77 MAX OVR 83 Age 40+ max AWR 79 MAX OVR 85 3.1 Creating Your Player Aesthetically ***NOTE*** The Vindicators are going back to the 4-3 base defense just to keep things fresh on that side of the ball. Keep that in mind when creating your player. Full Name: Age: College: Jersey Number: Position: Handedness: Height: Weight: Skin: 3.2 Creating Your Player Attributes There are a few ways to do this, all depending on how much control you want over your player. #1. You can give me your position, and tell me which stats or attributes you value MOST and LEAST. I will build your player based on your guideline within the cap restrictions. This option is best for those who do not have Madden 2012. #2. You can grade the attributes relevant to your position A-F. And I will then build your player to your specifications, within the cap guidelines. This is alot like option #1, but slightly more in-depth. #3. The most in-depth way of creating your player is to give me numbers 0-99 to work with for each and every attribute. This will take some time, but it ensures you get 100% full control over your player. This option is best suited with those who have PURCHASED (or rented) Madden 2012 so that they can work with the player builder themselves. WARNING: If you choose this option and are over the caps, I will take the necessary steps to get you UNDER the cap without consulting you first. I will look at which stats you have put the most into and then subtract based on your tendencies. Without further ado.... The entire 2012 Madden Attribute List Strength Agility Speed Acceleration Awareness (check caps) Catching Carrying Throwing Power Kicking Power Kicking Accuracy Tackling Pass Blocking Run Blocking Jumping Kick/Punt Return Trucking Elusiveness BC Vision Stiff Arm Spin Move Juke Move Impact Blocking Run Block Strength Run Block Footwork Pass Block Strength Pass Block Footwork Power Moves Finesse Moves Block Shedding Pursuit Play Recognition Man Coverage Zone Coverage Spectacular Catch Catch In Traffic Route Running Hit Power Release Short Throw Accuracy Medium Throw Accuracy Deep Throw Accuracy Throw on the Run Play Action 3.3 Creating Your Player Traits These are new to Madden Create-A-Player, so it's new to all of us. But they look pretty fail. Some of them are real options... others are just more like.. "Do you suck or not"? With those kinds of questions, I am not even going to list them here and you will be placed on the AVERAGE option. For example.... for QB "Sense Pressure?" with the choices of Oblivious, Paranoid, Ideal, etc etc. Like... Who is going to pick a QB that is Oblivious to pressure? lol There are a few important options down at the bottom (Clutchness, Consistency, Confidence, Motor) but everyone will be placed on an average setting for these. So... in retrospect... You wasted your time reading this and you have nothing further to add to your player. I just wanted to let everyone know that I am not completely skipping this part of creation. Edited September 1, 2011 by Favre4Ever Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Favre4Ever+ 4,476 Posted September 1, 2011 (edited) 4.0 TGP Vindicators Roster REMEMBER: We are a 4-3 Base D Legend Position: Name (TGP User) | Jersey Number QB: Bar Cuda (Cuda) | #8 HB: Caden Daniel (Favre4Ever) | #30 FB: Gabriel Vincent III (Vin) | #36 WR: Deion Miles (Kila) | #80 WR: Anthony Cole (Chia) | #27 TE: Alex Johnson (Badgers) | #85 LT: LG: C: RG: RT: RDE: Jonathan Maverick (Mav) | #94 DT: DT: LDE: GA Eagle (GA) | #92 ROLB: Ramsey Krawnka (Krawnka) | #55 MLB: Matt Majin (Sarge) | #56 LOLB: Zack Graham (ZoS) | #58 CB: Greg Kirbas (Bay) | #22 CB: James Jackson (Arz) | #28 SS: Sam Galea (EightNine) | #21 FS: David Collins (PD) | #36 K: P: KR/PR: 5.0 Other Misc. Notes - If many positions are taken, and you do not feel like being an offensive lineman or Kicker there are a select few other positions who will get a good number of snaps, albeit less than the starters. Slot WR and Nickel CB are also options if you wish. If you pick either of those, you get first dibs on KR duties also (if you want them) - Last year, any spots that didn't get filled, I just created "generic" players to fill the void. This is NOT happening this year. The more empty spots we have, the more pressure there is to draft, pull off trades, scout, etc etc etc. This means that if you want to be a part of the Vindicators, you need to SIGN UP NOW. Because after the team is created and we are on our way.... No new players can be added unless I just rename a current player. Which, while an option, probably isn't a very fun one. - The Vindicators Record Book thread WILL be in use this year... Finally. - I reserve the right to edit any names that are extremely stupid. This doesn't mean you are required to have a real name like "Joe Bob", but there will be no names like "Seymour Buttz" or anything extremely stupid like that.

badgers 380 Posted September 2, 2011 I got run blocking abilities in there. I left Pass blocking out on the assumption that my character would be going out for passes so I wouldn't need it as much. You can put it in there if you think it'll improve it. I didn't want to put too many "most valuable" attributes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
