Good morning, everyone! With the ISFL Pro Bowl kicking off tonight, I’d like to share the rosters and show you how the conversion from DDSPF to Madden 18 has changed our players, and talk about the rosters in general. So, with that small preamble out of the way, let’s look at the teams, starting with the NSFC
NSFC Pro Bowl Roster, represented by the 49ers. 81 OVR
QB
Wolfie McDummy, 91 OVR
Cooter Bigsby, 87 OVR
McDummy’s extra accuracy gets him the nod to start over Cooter. Unfortunately, the 79 speed glitch doesn’t work in Madden, so he won’t be a greek demigod on running plays. He’ll still be decently mobile, at least enough to dodge a pass rusher or two.
RB
Mathias Hanyadi, 94 OVR
Sam Torenson, 94 OVR
Asher Quinn, 84 OVR
Apollo Reed, 59 OVR
Well, Hanyadi and Torenson are very good, at least. A very strong 1-2 punch for the NSFC. Reed though… Yikes. His low intelligence translated extremely badly to stats like awareness, Ball Carrier Vision, basically anything related to INT? He don’t got it. Hell, putting Asher Quinn as a running back, he has a much better rating at 84 OVR. Safe to say, Reed ain’t getting much playing time, unfortunately.
WR
Bender B. Rodriguez, 93 OVR
Sean O’Leary, 92 OVR
Rayne Gordon, 87 OVR
Nacho Varga, 81 OVR
William Lim, 76 OVR
Strong receiving core for the NSFC, stronger than the ASFC (but we’ll get to that later). O’Leary, one of our flex players, will be slotting into the receiving core unlike Quinn. Since the NSFC had two flex players, I decided to put them at different positions just to hopefully get both of them playing time, though this definitely isn’t guaranteed with the weird sub logic of Madden
TE
Avon Blocksdale, 82 OVR
James Angler, 67 OVR
Another case of low INT bringing down player ratings in Madden, at least for Angler. Blocksdale is perfectly fine and should be a good receiving option for McDummy and Bigsby, Angler will be ok.
OL
Simon Tremblay, 82 OVR LT
Laszlo Fourty-Two, 91 OVR C
Byron Dolls, 85 OVR RT
Since both sides don’t get up to 5 O-Lineman, I’m putting them in the most important places on the offensive line. Good tackles are a must, and the NSFC as a whole will have a solid line up front in both pass protection and run blocking.
DE
Immanuel Blackstone, 86 OVR LE
Spike Suzuki, 64 OVR RE
Once again, Suzuki gets absolutely slammed in Madden in terms of overall, due to low Awareness and Play Rec. He’ll still be fine, his strength is high enough, but we’ll see how much it affects him on the field.
DT
Bubba Thumper, 90 OVR
Giannis Kroustis, 87 OVR
Not much else to say here, Krou and Thumper are both strong interior DLinemen that will bring a lot of hurt onto the ASFC’s run game.
LB
Douglas Quaid, 85 OVR LOLB
Mo Berry, 93 OVR MLB
Haha Mango-Panda, 74 OVR ROLB
Berry is undoubtedly the leader of the defense, boasting the highest overall across the entire unit. Quaid and Mango should be solid on the outside, though again, it remains to be seen if Panda’s low-ish awareness will hurt him on the field.
CB
Brandon Booker, 88 OVR
Tyler Oles Jr., 87 OVR
Tyron Shields, 80 OVR
Not a bad CB group for the NSFC, they should be fast enough to keep up with the ASFCs receivers. Shields is another player slightly let down by INT, but since I standarized coverage stats across all the DBs (because I did not feel like making up some frickin’ formula, then applying that to every player, etc etc.), he’s still good.
S
Magnus Valdyr, 79 OVR
Jamie Nkiah, 90 OVR
Matt Cross, 89 OVR
Solid safety group here, with Valdyr once again hurting due to low Awareness and Play Rec. Not much else to say, so let’s move onto the kickers!
K
Silver Banana, 85 OVR
P
Jacob Small, 78 OVR
They’re good at kicking! I really don’t need to say much more than that, do I? Finishing off the NSFC, let’s move over to special teams.
ST
Lousiana Purcahse, 99 OVR KR
Mathias Hanyadi, 99 OVR PR
Really, I could have had these guys at either position, but since Purchase was the best kick returner and Hanyadi was the best punt returner, this just made sense.
And there’s the NSFC! With that roster all set, let’s move over to the ASFC
ASFC Pro Bowl Roster, represented by the Chiefs. 85 OVR
QB
Franklin Armstrong, 91 OVR
Jay Cue, 87 OVR
Unlike Armstrong and McDummy, Cue actually has some amount of mobility, at least in Madden. He won’t be outrunning CBs or anything like that, but scrambling past a linebacker or defensive end? Should be very possible. Armstrong is still the better passer, at least in terms of accuracy.
RB
Marcella Toriki, 94 OVR
Tatsu Nakamura, 85 OVR
Jamar Lackson, 74 OVR
Baby Yoda, 78 OVR
94 overall seems to be the max for running backs transferred from the sim, at least from the way I transfer over stats. Strange. Anyways, Toriki is strong, Nakamura is solid and Lackson has pretty terrible awareness, but 99 speed is the only thing that really matters in Madden, so Lackson is fine. Yoda is also here, since he’s a RB.
WR
Saba Donut, 89 OVR
Net Gaines, 87 OVR
Jed Podolak, 85 OVR
Ed Barker, 82 OVR
Weaker than the NSFC, but still a really strong group overall. With even Barker being 99 speed, one of the non-ISFL corners is going to try and cover him. Which will almost certainly be a disaster.
TE
Austin McCormick, 86 OVR
Jeffrey Phillips, 75 OVR
OL
Bruce Buckley, 90 OVR LT
Givussafare Rubbe, 92 OVR LG
Douglas Quail, 71 OVR C
Edmond Beaver-Dantes, 79 OVR RT
The ASFC has the advantage of one extra OLineman compared to the NSFC, and boy, do they have some strong ones. Buckley and Rubbe make a strong punch on the left side, and Dantes should be fine slotting in at RT. Quail is certainly a question mark, but again, he has the strength and blocking stats.
DE
Ben Tu’inkuafe, 80 OVR LE
Logan Noble Jr., 79 OVR RE
Neither of the ASFC DEs have INT so bad it tanks their overall, so both Tu’inkuafe and Noble Jr. should be strong coming off the edge.
DT
Rapid Eagle, 85 OVR
Big Edd, 75 OVR
Can you guess why Edd’s overall is so much lower? That’s right, Awareness and Play Rec! They’re still strong and fast enough to provide threat to the NSFC’s potent run game, so it’ll be interesting to see who wins up front.
LB
Galf Wilf, 87 OVR LOLB
Quenton Bode, 84 OVR MLB
Ugarth the Dissector, 77 OVR MLB
George Fisher, 77 OVR ROLB
Solid linebacker group all around here, no obvious weaknesses or big drops in overall. Bode and Dissector might struggle in coverage a little, but other than that, they’re well rounded.
CB
Korrin Abernathy, 92 OVR
Dermot Lavelle Jr., 91 OVR
Zamir Kehla, 88 OVR
The veterans the ASFC have at CB compared to the NSFC gives them the edge here. Even Kehla is really, really good. Throwing against these guys is going to be a challenge, for sure.
S
Mason Blaylock, 91 OVR
Prince Vegeta, 93 OVR
Shawn Dawkins, 83 OVR
Arguably even stronger than the cornerbacks, Vegeta and Blaylock are an extremely strong 1-2 punch. Vegeta gets the honor of being the highest rated defensive player for the ASFC, as well.
K
Herbert Prohaska, 78 OVR
P
Venus Powers, 85 OVR
Kinda funny that the kicking overalls are the opposite of the NSFC. But they kick!
ST
Mako Mendonca, 99 OVR KR
Mason Blaylock 99 OVR PR
Mendonca gets to return kicks and Blaylock gets to return punts! Let’s see if Mendonca can get lucky and score a return TD, he got two in the ISFL.
And there are the rosters for both the NSFC and ASFC! Now, let’s talk about how I plan to set Madden up in order to best use everyone on both rosters.
Obviously, we’re playing on All Madden with the simulation game style, to hopefully get a little bit closer to some actual football. The quarter length will be set to 6 minutes, with the game taking place in Super Bowl 52’s stadium. Fatigue is set to 60 with the sub frequency as maxed as I could get it, so hopefully everyone gets at least some playing time. If not, there’s not much else I can do, unfortunately, and I didn’t want player skill to come into the equation. So me playing both teams, which was an idea I tinkered with in the beginning, was out as an option. Everything else is set to defaults, except player speed threshold which has been set to 40. Just so faster players play faster.
So, who's going to come out on top? Will the NSFC's strong run game prevail, or can the ASFC defense shut down Hanyadi and Torenson? We'll find out tonight!
