I agree what your saying, and I do kinda just wish Donny would have full control -- but its clear they are not taking the fans advice and making it into what we all totally want.

I believe if Donny gets us in the ballpark of where the rating is going to be, its ok to have some debate over little attributes like Throw Power, Accuracy, etc with a +/- 5 increase/decrease of attribute rating (or w/e they decide). If they were giving us a +/- 5 increase/decrease of Overall Rating, yeah that might be a little much, but since its only gonna influence the attributes, i think its ok, because even if some categories get cranked up the entire 5 extra points, the Overall rating may go up a point.

And the other thing to note here guys is that this may not even be a +/- 5. We're going to release more information in the coming weeks, so stay tuned.

That sounds get...the less power us fans have over the rating, the better -- thats just the sad truth.

i like the idea if regulated. please filter the people who are doing there ratings in fantasy land. i can imagine what a group of Notre Dame fans could do to Jimmy Clauson's rating if there 100 on everything is added, or if a ***** puts 0 on everything.

I think it'll be fun as well as absurd.

What Peter Moore is attempting to do, of course, is dictate the parameters of "taking fan feedback seriously" while implying that it is a general rule.

According to Moore, they take fan feedback seriously, so hey, YOU get to vote for the coverboy.

YOU get vote for the demo teams.

YOU get to vote on ratings.

What I have yet to see Mr. Moore do is translate fan feedback into such areas as a robust franchise mode, effective quality assurance, or any number of things listed on these forums.

Mr. Moore, voting on a cover athlete is NOT "taking fan feedback seriously". Please stop insulting our intelligence.
