Madden NFL 10 Blog: Player Ratings - A New Philosophy, A New Era

[ch46647]

^^^ In my opinion NHL 09 did a great job with players acceleration. You can really tell the difference between an Alexander Ovechkin and an average player.

I agree with this. The 3-4 doesn't really work like it should in Madden/NCAA and it's easy to take a 4-3 team with small quick linebackers and linemen run the 3-4 without skipping a beat. And with so many 3-4 teams in the teams in the league now, it would be nice to actually see it work for a change.

Will these rating effects be taking effect in NCAA '10?

Very good point. It's amazing that we're discussing this in February. I feel like the game is coming out next month.

Which is wierd because they did this exact same thing in NFL Headcoach'09; and it worked out wonderfully in my opinion. If it's anything like what they did in HeadCoach, I'm going to be happy with this in Madden'10.

How often will a 2nd or 3rd reciever drop the ball? I hated when the WR was wide open no one around him, only to drop it and theres nothing i can do about it lol. I'm not saying catch it everytime but if he's wide open, catch it majority of the time. Not including taking a shot right after he catches it.

That's what I'm talking about!!! No more backup QB's who put up Brady-like stats in their debut game!
