You might be asking yourself what is a draft generator? It’s a loaded term but the short answer is that they’re the heart of every draft within franchise mode. Each prospect you see while scouting and scouring the draft board is the result of a draft generator. Last year, we added over 30 new generators to “break the mold” and offer fresh and fun new opportunities when scouting and drafting. In Madden NFL 24, we’ve added over 50 new generators to the mix to continue last year’s initiative and provide more fun, dynamic and memorable draft experiences. Some of these prospects include:
In Madden NFL 23 we introduced some of the best prospects to ever appear in Madden via our Generational prospect generators. Heading into Madden 24 we wanted to continue to provide users with the ability to find these gems and cover the gaps that we were unable to fill in Madden NFL 23. This year there will be generational prospects available at every single position with new generational prospects across the offensive line and at fullback, tight end, defensive end, safety and even punter. These prospects will come into the league ready to start immediately with the highest possible DEV trait for their position.
Again building off the foundation of what we introduced in Madden NFL 23, there will be more ‘99 Club’ prospects this year that will enter the league elite in a specific area of their game. Be on the lookout for new running back prospects with top end Break Tackle and Injury, Wide Receivers with 99 Juke Move, Guards with 99 Impact Block or even a perfectly hydrated hitting machine at linebacker with 99 Hit Power.
In reading feedback regarding the types of prospects that you wanted to see, there was a common theme amongst wanting more out-of-position type generators as well as prospects that were more multi-dimensional than we currently offered. Based on that feedback, we added a number of generators this year that go well beyond their assigned position. We have a couple QB generators that will come in with receiver attributes and can be moved to wide receiver or tight end. Some other exciting generators we’ve added include a CB generator based around being a former WR as well as a massive defensive tackle that also possesses some ball carrier skills.
The age old saying is the best ability is availability and that’s something you’ll have to strongly consider this year as we’ve included some elite prospects with one catch – they have incredibly low injury ratings. Pay attention when scouting and drafting as you’ll have to seriously question whether to risk it all on an elite prospect who may spend most of their time watching from the sidelines.
