Alright, folks, let’s talk about finding the best quarterbacks in Madden. I’ve been playing this game for years, and I always spend a good chunk of time figuring out who I want leading my team. So, here’s how I usually go about it.
First, I jump into the game’s roster. I don’t bother with online rankings or anything yet, I want to see the stats for myself. I scroll through all the teams, checking out each quarterback’s ratings.
Key Attributes
I focus on a few key things:
- Throw Power: This is huge. I need a guy who can make those deep throws downfield.
- Accuracy: Short, medium, deep – doesn’t matter, I want the ball to go where it’s supposed to.
- Throw Under Pressure:Because, let’s be real, the defensive line is always coming.
- Speed/Agility: it is also a big plus if they can scramble.
After I check out all ratings, I make a shortlist of maybe five or six guys who look good on paper. I’ll jot down their names and key stats, just to keep track.
Testing Them Out
Then comes the fun part, I take them into practice mode. Stats are one thing, but I need to see how they feel. I run some basic passing plays, some deep bombs, and some plays where I force them to move around in the pocket. I want to see how quickly they release the ball, how accurate they are on the run, and how well they avoid sacks.
After spending a good hour or two just messing around,I usually start to get a feel about * guys who looked great on paper might feel clunky, while others might surprise me with their quick release or unexpected agility.
Making the Final Decision
Finally, I narrow it down to my top two or three. Sometimes it’s a tough call, but I usually have a good idea of who I want leading my team by this point. And hey, if I’m still torn, I might even start a franchise mode with two different quarterbacks and see who performs better over a few games!
That’s pretty much my process. It’s not rocket science, but it works for me. I find it’s always best to get hands-on and see how the players actually feel in the game.
