Well sorry for the novel, but I believe in flushing out how they work for the benefit of the users. Keep the great questions coming!

HA!

I really enjoy the super detailed responses...I appreciate how well thought out your system is...

It's always hard to say how each year's version of the game will treat things like progression / regression, but it's always "off", due to the superstar ratings that come as a result of too highly rated existing players and the recent potential based progression which isn't that well implemented...

Then, of course, there's the lack of pancakes, which seem to be the only thing that gets the OL a bump...

I had low sack totals and high run stats, but my A and B potential 2 and 3 year vets dropped, due to lack of pancakes...

So, there's always THAT issue as well...

So many workarounds (needed), so little time...

And that's a shame. I still recall that I got excited when I heard that Madden 11 would make the acceleration rating relevant, but I also remember my disappointment when I saw the video in the acceleration/agility blog and saw it first hand in the game.

Those will be uploaded and finished in the coming weeks as I am doing about 300 per day or more. That will be followed by the rest of the attributes, new overall ratings, and then the 2011 draft class in time for the 2011 season.

I hadn't noticed But judging from the ratings posted so far in here, I'd say that they appear to be more realistic than Maddens (from a pure scale-based approach). Ratings in the 90's (both overall and individual) should be very rare and reserved for the very best in my opinion.

The only thing I envisage would become a challenge is Madden progression system. After two years of franchise mode the games ratings would be distorted again and you'd be back at status quo.

Yes, that is the biggest disappointment...but because of my link to those who own the game's rights, I am hoping that a bigger change can be implemented at some point. Basically the guy who powers my website is one of the actual John Madden's long-time friends. He also knows John's daughter very well as she is still in charge of the series from a namesake point of view. My goal is to get these things well known enough that they gain the recognition of the dev crew so that they may be implemented.

When you type in the address make sure you include the WWW. at the beginning and the /members at the end. That will allow you to see everything. The proper link is on my post signature.
