So many people on this site keep asking, "How do I import a draft class?" So I'll make a quick guide for beginners.
You need to have:
A Madden Editor like NZA's Editor V1.3/2.0, Xanathol's Editor, MaddenAMP
A franchise (.fra)
A draft class (.mdc)
Plus you'll need the NET frameworks 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0 too.
Requirements
Your franchise must be in the retirement stage. "What does that mean?" It means that you hit the 'advance' button at the bottom of the screen once you have finished your offseason upgrades for your coaching staff, stadium, and re-location. When you get to the list of offseason things, you are ready to import the draft class. DO NOT advance past retirement until you've imported the draft class.
The draft class has to have exactly 257 players in it, but most draft classes on this website have the correct number of players. Unless you were deleting someone, you shouldn't have to worry about this.
How to do it
1: Open the Madden editor (that's the one I'm using for this guide). Click on the draft class tab.
2: Click the franchise bubble at the bottom, and hit the 'open file' button. Find your franchise and select it.
3: It will load, and if it crashes try again. Nothing should show up in the draft classes boxes. So you need to hit the 'Load from FRA' button.
4: The current draft class will load. (this will crash if you're not in the retirement stage!) Now, to the left, hit the 'import from MDC' button.
5: Find your draft class and select it. The editor should load it, and, ta-da, there's all the players from the draft class. Notice: On the final step, the editor may crash many times. Try importing the draft class again 3-5 times, and it should work.
Yay! You've imported a draft class!!
Pro Tip: Hit the 'export to MDC' to make a draft class file (.mdc). It will save your current players on the draft class.
I hope this will help anyone who needs it.

Draft classes need to have 257 players.
FYI...Draft classes can also be imported using Xanathol's Madden Roster Editor.

Thanks for the fast response. I edited it.
Quick question....how can I "pin" this topic? You know, when it stays at the top of the page, like an announcement?
