Madden NFL 11 "Swagger" Rating Explained (MyMaddenPad)

[Valdarez]

I'd bet you money the rating has been there for years. They just decided to display it to get some of that Old Spice $$$.

I think it would be better if swagger has a stronger influence on composure rather than cockiness.

If done right, ...this is a awesome feature!!

Barry Sanders will actually not spike the ball now! SWEET

I dont understand why people wouldnt like this. Its actually what you see on Sunday. Some guys celebrate, some dont...some are crazy celebraters. I love this feature.


Nice job guys, this kind of little stuff, all adds up to make a much more complete game.

It's good news to me that it's only going to affect celebrations - I was worried that it might be more of a confidence attribute-boosting thing (like clutch in baseball/basketball games) that I wouldn't particularly care for. It won't really have any noticeable effect on the way the game plays unless the 99 swagger guy gets hit and fumbles while high-stepping to the endzone.

I'm guessing we'll see the low swagger guys just kneel in the endzone, and it'll be nice to see that contrast in player emotions show up in the game.

The only thing I would like better then this, is custom celebrations with different buttons doing different celebrations.....and having a celebration of just nicely handing the ball to the ref(like B sanders) or not doing anything, so that you ONLY celebrated when you wanted to.

Seems like a one-sided rating, swagger aka celebration or lack-there-of. Actually having the top players have their own gestures and mannerisms would be much better than a rating for the level of show-boating a player does.

I'm McLoving it! <= this comment brought to you by McDonalds and the movie Superbad.

I like the idea in theory. I just hope that the players with a 90 or higher swagger rating aren't celebrating after every play. On the way to the end zone or after a big play, great... all for it. Love to see more character in the game. I just hope that the rating is tamed a little and we all don't get sick of players celebrating after a 5yd run or 9yd pass reception.
