In the second chart we will also notice the stock of EA prior to the exclusive licensing deal and afterwards in this 10 year chart.
Sorry PGaither....I am kinda confused with this one...what point are you trying to make here? Can you explain a little more?

Sorry man. LOL.

On topic: There is nothing I've read in the blogs for Madden 10 that doesn't make me feel very positive about the future of the game.
Finally, we may actually have some Madden fans at the helm.

There's no point bashing Ian and his posse for the previous next-gen Maddens. It's like blaming Madonna for Lady Gaga.

Re: Madden NFL 10 Blog: Franchise Mode Improvements

For the guys arguing against player ratings decreasing as they get older....

Do yall think that if you have a good season with a guy their ratings should stay the same or get better? So if you keep having good years they can play forever? Age is the number one factor that determines regression and the example in the blog about the running backs is right on and I'm excited to read that they are finally doing something like this.

I want to say that was INCREDIBLY stupid of you to say. That doesn't even make sense at all.

It's not really the decrease when they are 30. It's the warp speed, as in up to 10 points off of overall rating that was explain in the blog.

If a player has a good season and decrease by a point or two cool. But to decrease by 10 points, that's insane. Every player is different. Age, stats, contract, team success, team talent, potential rating, number of hits/collision and overall wear and tear should be the deciding factor in whether a players rating increase/decrease or retire. Not age.

Don't get me wrong, for most players when they reach the age cap (that have obvious been add to the progression system) they should fall off. But for the players that is still putting up big numbers and winning mvp awards and making pro bowls, their rating shouldn't go drop "at warp speed" and they shouldn't retire either. Just my opinion.

As far as LT goes, I see him probably still being borderline elite, low 90s, his first season. Even if he regresses really harshly (10 points overall) that still makes him low 80s which with the spread out ratings should still be good enough to be effective in a lot of situations. Especially in the case of LT and guys like westbrook their catching ability, their vision, and their leadership and awareness abilities should really allow them to maintain a role on the team for a couple more years.

Sure, when he drops down to an 82, hopefully with lower endurance/stamina/injury type ratings, you will want to start looking to use him less. Maybe lowering his carries more and more, getting a replacement ready, and trying to protect him from taking the beating of trying to run 20 or 25 times a game. This forces you to play more to their strengths once they start to decline if they want to still make the proper impact, somewhat like how bettis was used primarly in short yardage situations at the end of his career.
See the thing about that is, in Madden when a player has a lower overall rating than the second stringer the second stringer becomes the starter which means LT would be cut out of the picture completely. I wonder What happens when a Team drafts a QB 2th overall but his rating is still lower than the Vet QB? does he have to wait until the Vet contract is over or is he going to start sometime in the year?

This is a major problem to me hope they have seen this. When a player is drafted in the top 15 they think of him as a starter sometime in the near future. Not sit on the bench for two or three years waiting for something to happen to the starter ahead of him.
