Importing a draft class from March Madness 04

[R-Tistic]

Well first of all, does anybody know when March Madness 04 is coming out?

Second of all, I've never used the import draft class on Madden or any other game, so how does it work? Do you have to complete a season on March Madness then save the class or something? Can you create players on March Madness, then use them in the draft for each year? Can you edit the players already on March Madness, and then draft them? If I can do what I want to, I might buy, or rent, March madness just for that feature.

Also, do you think you'll have to finish each season on MM04 and save according to the year of the season u have on Live? Such as after u finish your 07 dynasty on MM, then you have to finish your 07 on Live, and you use that 07 draft class...u get what I am sayin?

March Madness comes out i believe near the end of this month, and gamecube users are SOL because March Madness is on X-Box and PS2 only And no you can use whatever draft class for whatever year.

I do this in Madden all the time. If it works the same, when you play MM04 you have to complete the year then at the end before offseason it will show you who is leaving and then ask if you want to save them for draft. Then you choose a name or a number for the save. Now when you play Live and choose to import draft it will load from the memory card and the draft will be there. You can save as many as you want as long as you have enough memory and when you choose which draft you want it doesn't have to be in order. So i can pick the 07(I save mine as numbers) from MM04 then the following year choose 05.
A problem i had with Maddens import draft is for Ncca when i had a good junior who wanted to leave I would always use the option to convince them to stay using points. Then they would save with that draft even if I succesfully convinced them to stay another year. Then the following year when they were seniors it would save them with that draft also. So lets say I ended a year in madden and imported draft 01; the player would be in there as a 20 year old. Then the following year I import 02, he would be in that draft also as a 21 year old. Making a long story short, one player would end up in 2 different drafts and took all the fun out of it.
I hope that same problem doesn't occur and I hope I answered your questions.

When you say choose a name and a number for the save...you mean for the save file itself? I ask because in March Madness (and I think NCAA Football), the players have no names. How does the game handle that when you import those players into a draft? Does it randomly assign them a name?

I mean choose a name for the save file. When you import they still have no name. I try not to import until 5 years after I started so everyone who has just a number for a name will have graduated.
