Add a Depth Chart forum

[meltingprism]

I've already suggested this to you, but i figured i'd make it official in a thread and all.

[Radie]

no doubt. we did talk about this already but for everyone else i will explain my stance on this....

we cant do that now, or at least, i cant. maybe after a few weeks into the season, once all the cuts and such are done and the CAP's are set, then we can do this.

For those who just can't wait until the rosters are cut down, let me suggest a website that provides depth charts, practice squad rosters, injured lists - and does so on a day-to-day basis:

That's so many teams to look through. It doesn't just tell you changes. What's the green mean, rookie?

Here is the explanation at the top of the home page regarding the players listed in GREEN:

"Rosters must be cut to 75 players on August 29. Players shown in GREEN are exempt from roster limitations (currently 80) and do not count against the team's active roster. Exemptions are either NFL Europe or Rookie Bonus Exemptions."

What I do is make a copy of these after the pre-season is over and I take a hi-lighter and pen and go through each team...I yellow highlight the players that are correct on the game and write down those that are missing...I make CAP's for those that I need and do my best to juggle the roster (because Madden has that stupid rule about having so many players at each position - I sometimes change a player's position to make it work but put him in the correct position on the depth charts).

Does this take some time? Yes!! But it's worth it because it makes the game very realistic. I'm not in a hurry to play my dynasty - I use the first month of playing to figure out good sliders and check out all the teams.

That's a lot of work to be looking it up and fixing it. If we had 1 person do each team and just write down the changes it would go much faster.

For sure...I agree with Radie as well when Preseason is over it will be much easier. All the final cuts will be done and in that making it easier to see who you have to add/remove/create onto a team.

Good idea though, just need some time.

i shouldnt be too hard. we have had tons of help so far, i cant imagine that not continuing.

I don't think we need a full blown depth chart, just depth chart changes. It would be way too time consuming (not to mention time wasting) to include the depth chart for every single position when the vast majority of the positions aren't changing anyways.

[Radie]

we'll figure it out. we got time.

[jrodthetitan]

If we do, do this, I will gladly do the depth charts for Tennessee, and Cleveland.

If you plan on doing this i would gladly do the Depth charts for the Vikings, Raiders, Jets, and Steelers. Mainly the vikings though. If no one else wants to do the other teams i mentioed I'll do them. It just might take some time though.

[xtremedb]

well we all kno legendary will wanna do anything pertaining the vikings. i found that out first thing when i got here cuz i was interested in wut vikings CAPs and updates where here and he seemed to do all of them. good job legendary!

[ejw325]

ok. cuz thats my team as well

[broncosrawk]

I'll keep up with the Broncos and Panther depth charts whenever this actually gets under way.
