Everything I put up on that site as far as a rating or information is backed up by some sort of data. If I couldn't do it that way, I wouldn't do it at all.

Should he be rate higher like 94 the guy has won 2 rings.

Great Question, but I will take it a step further (please dont think I am a biased fan since I usually think most of the patriots are overrated --Merriweather in Madden) but how are the follwoing QBS rated higher than or equal to Brady (89) and even Roethlisberger (84)

• Eli Manning - 89
• Carson Palmer - 90
• Matt Schaub - 90
• Matt Ryan - 90
• Brett Favre - 90
• Philip Rivers - 94 (maybe I can believe this)

First of all (once again), the ratings you see online are from last July. The OVR does incorporate injuries so if your QB had an injury, it will affect his rating such as when you see it in depth chart mode. If you want to know how they all stack up now, it is like this:

Brady: 98
Manning: 97
Brees: 95
Rodgers: 94
Rivers: 93
E. Manning: 91
Vick: 90
Roethlisburger: 90
Schaub: 90
Ryan: 90
Freeman: 89
Sanchez: 86
Flacco: 84
Stafford: 83
Cassell: 82
Palmer: 81
McNabb: 81
Cutler: 80
Fitzpatrick: 80
Orton: 80

These will not be in Madden 12 out of the box. You have to go on the site, look up the players individually, and then change their ratings in the game OR download an FBG roster that already has the ratings.

The only question I have is since a majority of the ratings have been found to have zero impact on the players and the game, then what use does this really have?

Anybody can plug a series of well thought out and well rounded numbers into an empty database, if it makes no difference on the field, then its a waste of time. Year after year...after year....after year its been shown that the majority of the ratings do not have any impact whatsoever.

The goal is to have a set of ratings based off of hard data to be used in correlation with ratings that do work. Now, because some ratings have been shown to be useless, we have to wait for EA to fix those bugs. Once they do, we will already have the data and the attributes computed. This system takes what we know about data distribution and the ratings distribution and makes a series of ratings that spreads out the results in the game. If EA uses the same ratings range (12-99) they will still work. If they change the range, we simply change the correlation based on the hard data which we already have. It's a simple conversion and process should things change.

I'm curious to see how this works, and if it has a dramatic effect on the gameplay style.
