He was on IR last season. IR will bring most players down to a 40. However, when he is updated to the offseason rating he will be around an 80.

I was assuming that you had a good reason. However he was not on the IR last year. Maualuga did end up on the IR at the end of the season.

Oh that's right...he was out 3 games with a calf injury late in the season.

Will these ratings apply for online play as well?

I do not think so...but I never play online so I don't know for sure. But I do know that we will be producing roster files at some point as well as launching an NCAA site that rates NCAA players as well.

However, some rookies with these last names have also not been completed. Also, these ratings are from March ie: the offseason rating pre-draft. They will be updated again during training camp and the preseason with weekly updates to follow. Keep in mind that injuries also affect the OVR rating. And since you asked, Porter is now an 86, Gay an 80, and Greer an 82 as of today. They just have to be updated and will be throughout the rest of the summer.

Just like the previous poster I just clicked to see ratings, guess I should have read a little more into it. Even though I love Porter(his big plays left us to party with the lombardi), Jabari Greer is our best Corner without a doubt. Look forward to seeing what you guys come up with this season.

DCEBB...

I'd actually like to hear more about how you come up with the ratings. You said it's basically a one person job (meaning, I assume, that you are updating all of the ratings yourself?)...that's quite a task, but I noticed that you have overalls, but no attributes in yet...do you have those stored away to input later, or how does that work?

And I can only imagine the pain in the neck an NCAA site would be...having to update the site regarding rosters with people transferring, redshirting, etc...

The ratings are formula based on several criteria involving raw attributes (SPD, ACC, AGI, JMP, STR) and dimensional attributes (AWR, CTH, CAR, etc...). The OVR rating correlates 99.9% of the time with the attributes that are assigned to a player, meaning that the calculations are pretty much accurate for every player.

FBG has always, and will always be a one man job. It is not hard for one person to do it considering that we have all the scouting data from one source.

The attributes will be added in as the season goes along. The goal is to have them set in stone for 2011. The reason being is you now have to do 50 attributes for every player...17000 of them. Its a tall order. However, we will do attributes for the guys currently in the league first as opposed to going in alphabetical order like we are now. We had to do it this way to start because there was a TON of data missing left over from 2007.

The attributes are presently recorded offline, but will be entered once I find out how Madden 11 will rate the players. These will have to then be adjusted.

The NCAA site will also be a one man job, but that will be up to a colleague of mine.
