Getting Madden video game just to play Dak?

[MedDawg]

I never played Madden but played the first few seasons of NCAA football on Xbox. Or was it Playstation? Anyhow, I was thinking of playing Dak on Madden, but I just want to play on easy mode against the computer. Don't need all the other stuff (draft, etc). Might like to build an All-Star team with Dak as QB if that's an option. Right now we have an Xbox One that my son plays, will probably get the new upcoming Xbox for the upgrade and 4k disc player.

My question: Can I get last year's Madden and play Dak or do I need to get the new one because Dak will be rated better and the players more current to this year's team?

he is on last years. ratings are pretty low. but he has beaten every NFL record in 3 years on my franchise. he's quite the underdog story. 4th round pick, 2 years later he passed for 72 touchdowns, rushed for 19 and threw for 31K yards. i think he also nailed Erin Andrews on my bye week. i just know he'll equal or exceed all that in real life.

its pretty fun though. i'm sure his ratings will be much better in this years game

86 for dak. They can update ratings as the year goes so it can climb

When I played NCAA, I downloaded all the rosters then then upped all the ratings for State players. Then cut all the OM player ratings. Played on normal/easy mode against the computer, and as much as I enjoyed beating Vandy 101-3, I really enjoyed seeing the score ticker say UT-Chattanooga 63, OM 12. I won the NC and OM lost every game. Also, my State QB and WR finished 1-2 in the Heisman vote.

If you update the rosters on last years game he should be rated properly

For how long can you update rosters? Could you play a game from 2015 with updated rosters?

 

[MidsouthDawg]

They won't update last year's have once the new game comes out...but I have Dak on my team (fantasy draft, coach mode) on last years, and he gains experience quickly, he's a 97 in year 3, and you can pick up last years for about $20

Pretty sure we hung out in college*

I once scored over 2,000,000 on Galaga.

you can also download other players rosters. with a quick google search, you can find who's to use for the most accurate rosters. i think you can do that at any point, even after the release of the new game. not 100% on that though. they are fun to play, but they need to work it out and come on back with the college game.
