Wow, you are on a roll today!! I might as well not post, because I agree with everything you say and you state it much better than I would!! Totally agree about some universal rating. People aren't having a big to-do because it's a 1 pt difference between fastest to 2nd fastest players, it's just the tools to get there, which is the fans voting. It's the actuality of letting fans vote rather than the actual significance that the vote will cause.

I don't know. They did the same thing a couple years ago during the draft with the rookies. It was even worse then because they allowed you to vote and bump certain ratings either plus or minus five.

This is going to be strange now that we can't edit players before starting a CCM...

wow...

Wait a second, fans are deciding player ratings but we can't even edit players on the game to fix this obvious blunder?? What is Madden doing?! Have these guys lost their freaking minds?

This is the most disturbing thing yet, the cover was one thing but this fan vote thing has gotten out of hand what is this the slam dunk contest. No way would NBA 2k or the Show do some thing of this nature, this feels like a Jump the shark moment smh.

If we can't individually change ratings on our own consoles for Career Modes, they shouldn't let any ratings be reliant on the general public's biased opinion before release.

C'mon EA.

This voting is pointless. How can you debate on who is the fastest quarterback in the NFL?

It has nothing to do with that, it's simply marketing and a way to stir up Madden in people's conversation leading up to the release. That's all.

And really, I don't see the issue here. Realistically, the three choices speed ratings would likely be no more than 2 rating points apart regardless of if Donny chose it or if it was left up to vote. Since so many people on this site have a problem with Donny's ratings in the first place, I don't see why this makes things any worse...
