FBGRatings Seeks to Recalibrate Madden Ratings, Change Game

[SloeyEZ]

Explain to me the reason for wanting realistic, up-to-the-minute ratings for NFL players? I only play franchise/career modes so after a year of that, my ratings are based on my events, and not the real world, so what type of gamer/game are updated ratings good for?

What about people who want multiple CCMs or who start them later. How about those who want to use them in tournaments or play-now modes? The ratings are updated often because the NFL is constantly changing. Player movement is constant and players are evaluated on a weekly basis by their own teams and opposing scouting departments. To not keep the site updated and update the ratings regularly would not make sense because of those factors.

So perhaps they are important to other people who don't just use them in franchise/CCM as you do.

Can we download these rosters to a flash drive or do we have to manually input them???

Okay, like I said, I was just asking a question because I really didn't know. Didn't mean to insult in any way, sorry. It makes sense for the tournaments and play now modes like you said. Thanks for answering the question.

At this point it is all manual.

Just curious, how come ratesports can create a roster for APF 2k8 that we can download onto a flash drive? Is the same thing possible on Madden?

I am not sure. If we get to the point where we can create rosters quickly and effectively we will make them available for download. I am not sure how that process will work out exactly, but I think it is possible.

This is a real proposition on the part of EA? I almost spit out my apple. Tell me this is a hypothetical situation.
