After seeing his top 5 QB's, u can take his rosters and put them in the toilet.

Actually, NFL scouts DO have the ability to break down MORE than 50 categories for NFL players. There are as many as 15 different categories for 8 different position groups and . That's 120 different attributes for any NFL player if you do things the way that Madden does (having all attributes for all players regardless of position). Scouts have that ability. If you want me to list them all, I will, just to prove you wrong. They have been, and likely always will be, able to break down a precise number for any and all players that they grade.

What FBG does is simply interpolate the raw scouting data. Read the FAQ page for more info on that and get educated.

Someone is drinking some Kool-Aid, that is for sure. Some EA Kool-Aid.

First... EA does not use a real system, that is evident.... and why so many people argue against the ratings.... some make no sense whatsoever.
And for decades ? Not even close.

And in the FBG system, Rodgers is by far the best QB.... what is your argument ?

The CFM's are setup to repeat the over-rated base roster....you can NOT Edit that.

Keep playing on that 75-99 rating scale.......
so every player feels and plays the same...

I would love to hear how FBG arrived at the conclusion that Romo is the 16th best QB in the league, behind the likes of Stafford, Kaepernick, Foles and Alex Smith.

First of all, it wasn't me who gave him that grade. This scouting department did.

He is currently on an injury hold of 0.5 (likely because of his back). That has modified his overall grade from an 8.06 to a 6.35. If you remove the injury hold, he jumps up to #4 overall.

This is just a suggestion so feel free to ignore it but whilst I understand the purpose of injury/ suspension factors in real life , I feel for the purposes of madden rosters their inclusion is unnecessary at least in base rosters
Maybe an injury designation and a bracketed suggested
minus figure or similar would better suite to avoid confusion?
Just a suggestion, but I feel this would help those of us who use your site for editing our own rosters

So the game plays like a way to fast arcade game where there is not much difference of teams because EA rates to many players 90 overall or higher and half the league with 90+ speed but, EA has done just fine? Lol Ok.

Plus how are we going to edit online ranked games or an online CFM where we just have to use the current roster available?


How is EA's way of rating players accurate? How do they decide how to rate players?

Also guys to caught up in the overall with EA's and FBG rosters. You really have to look at the actual ratings. The way EA's overall rating works gives too much or to little weight to certain attributes.

Some of the critics of Dan's system I will just never understand. The way the rating system is now, there are only three tiers of players. There are C grade players (70 - 79), there are B grade players (80 -89), and finally the elite A grade players (90-99). Basically, that is it. That is very far from how real scouts grade players as Dan will point out to you. Many of you are comparing Madden ratings to educational grading systems used in the U.S. (I.E. <60 = Failing). FBG ratings are not set up that way though, and 60 is actually a pretty competent starter with ratings. What Dan's system does is compare REAL data form REAL people who make REAL money rating REAL players in the REAL NFL today - meaning they know more about player rating than you, me, Dan, and especially EA Sports.

So what many of you are trying to say is that you know more about player rating than the scouts that do this for a living at the highest level of the sport. That is what really gets me more than anything.
