The ratings may be researched and hard data used in their implementation but are ultimately no more than an opinion , even speed isn't calculated from strictly hard data bu using 40 times and then adjusting for 'game speed'. A fairly arbitary and subjective concept
This is not to criticize donny moore just to point out that ratings in madden are calculated more as an art form than by hard science and thus peoples opinions will always vary
And all this before we get unto the subject of how individual attributes are massaged to fit in with a pre- conceived idea of the value of a particular players overall rating

Well it'd be great to see his process. This is the exact type of thing that would benefit from peer review. My problem is that some players just are clearly not researched, and other ratings are arbitrarily increased to bring up a player's overall or brought down for nonsense reasons (why would a player's ratings drop because a team released them? or why would Russel Okung drop in ratings and down to a B potential just because he got a torn pec from a dead ball cheap shot by Trent Cole?)

I just don't get that there's a method to this madness, just madness outright.

Why is it that EA always does something to limit the experience!? Why not leave everything open so we can customize the game to our individual liking!? Another thing that bugs me about this CC is, when I play with a legend, I want to play in the years that they actually played, with the players they played with! Yes, you should have the option to play ur legend in any era but leave it open! By the time they get this thing right there will be a new console out, lol!! And then they will start the process all over and it will take 7-8 more Maddens b4 they get it close, lol! How is it possible in 2012 that we dont have a playable football game? How can you make 7-8 Maddens in a row that are almost complete garbage! Not trying to offend anyone but Im not getting any younger and I dont want to wait anymore! Ya, almost every year I buy the game but I am just praying that it will have something magical but 15mins later, I return the game and salvage what I can. I like this board, most of you guys know what I am talking about, thanks guys, later!

Can anyone with experience playing M13 tell me what sort of ratings we're looking at, broad spectrum.

Is it similar to the last few titles with several players over 95 and many over 90 or is there some sort of scaling back going on here?

I refuse to believe that barry sanders, randy moss, primetime, jerry rice will be 99 [granted they are LEGENDS] but on the flip side so will AP, Calvin Johnson, Revis etc.

These current players should not even sniff 99 at this stage in their careers, this essentially nullifies the Legend status, they are just another super good player....not a legend.

randy moss, 99 speed, 99 catch, sophmore year with some XP boosts i could probably get calvin Johnson up there too.
