Madden 08 help

Its not really a detailed question or anything. I'm well into year 2012 and there's a new player (name doesnt matter of course) but there's a little bomb symbol next to his name on the player management screen. I've looked everywhere and I can't figure out what the bomb is supposed to mean. Anyone know?

what position is he?

ive heard that if you draft a player and between 2-4 years after you draft him he dramatically exceeds expectations he gets a gem symbol, and if he doesn't he gets a bomb to represent a bust...

I havent comfirmed that but thats what I read on a madden forum once...


there was another guy that said it was an explosive player, but I doubt that since it doesn't show up until a few years into your franchise...

what position is he?

Running back.

the bomb usually means cannon arm quarter back

The bullet is for cannon arm QB. I've seen both, the bomb goes to the underachiever/bust and the gem goes to the overachiever/producer. I've only had gems come up on late round picks and had a bomb next to Darren McFadden after I kept running Clinton during sims.

I'm pretty sure that it means your guy could be a bust.

I think jdlea is right, the bomb = bust

what am i freakin invisible?? ;)

I was wondering that myself but I just saw a bomb on a QB, number 3 pick in the draft, but he's a rookie, and the leader in the ROY award category.
