Everything to do with rookies lives on one screen: the Teams page, on its Draft & Scouting tab. That is where draft results get posted to Discord, where the incoming rookie class and its scouting prices live, and where your league's Hall of Fame is kept. The draft itself still happens in Madden — this tab is what wraps around it.
Where to find it
On a computer: in the left sidebar, click Teams, then open the Draft & Scouting tab.
On your phone: tap More, open Teams under your league's Hubs, then pick Draft & Scouting from the Choose a section dropdown.
What is on this tab, top to bottom
- Draft Posting Channel — pick the Post channel draft results go to, and an optional Rookie year filter. Saved with Save draft settings.
- Post Draft Results — the button that posts them, one message per team. It appears once a post channel is saved.
- Rookie Mystery — the switch that keeps each rookie's Star, Superstar or X-Factor a surprise until their first season ends. See Hide rookie dev traits.
- The Class Itself — the scouting system: upload a class, switch Enable scouting hub on, pick the Scout channel, set the three scout tier prices, and browse every prospect in a sortable table.
- Hall of Fame — your league's permanent record of its greats, added and removed by hand.
Step by step, for your first draft
- Pick the Post channel and press Save draft settings.
- Upload the rookie class from Discord with
/draft_class_upload— there is no upload button on the website, on purpose. - Under The Class Itself, switch on Enable scouting hub, pick the Scout channel, and run
/scout_postin Discord to publish the scouting post. - Set the three scout tier prices, or leave the defaults alone.
- Run your draft in Madden and export the league.
- Come back and press Post draft results now.
Worth knowing
- This used to be its own Draft page with three tabs. Everything from it now lives here, on this one tab. Old saved links still open, but the only way you are meant to get here is through Teams.
- Posting draft results is part of the Elite plan. Without an active licence the tab says so and offers a See the plans button; saves are refused rather than silently ignored.
Common problems
- I cannot see the Draft & Scouting tab. If you are a helper rather than the owner, you may not have been given the Teams page's Draft & Scouting area — the owner grants it in Front Office → League Access.
- Nothing has any prospects in it. Nothing under The Class Itself exists until a class file has been uploaded from Discord with
/draft_class_upload. It is the command, not a button on this page. - I saved something and it did not stick. Each section here has its own Save button — press the one belonging to the section you edited. And on a server without an Elite licence, draft saves are refused and the page tells you so.
