Great catch Jmurphy, I have been wanting an actual manual for years. Hopefully it's in depth and goes into not only the new features but a complete breakdown of how ratings work too.

I can't say he had a single bad game last year: 284 yards 2 TD vs. Detroit 291 yards 3 TD 1 rushing TD vs. Jacksonville 218 yards 1 TD 1 rushing TD plus 74 yards rushing vs. Indianapolis 333 yards 4 TD 2 rushing TD plus 80 yards rushing vs. Washington 258 yards 1 rushing TD vs. New York Giants 333 yards 2 TD 1 INT vs. Chicago 302 yards 2 TD 1 rushing TD 1 INT vs. Houston 270 yards 2 TD 1 rushing TD 2 INT vs. Dallas 242 yards 3 TD 1 rushing TD 1 INT plus 130 yards rushing vs. New York Giants 263 yards 1 TD 1 rushing TD 1 INT vs. Minnesota 292 yards 1 TD 1 rushing TD 1 INT vs. Green Bay in playoffs Did Vick even have a single bad game? No. He was good to stellar every time he took the field. What? 258 yards a rushing TD against the Giants was bad? That was his least productive day all last season! In Madden terms, Vick never dipped below, I'd say, an 85 all year.

What was his completion percentage in these game? I know in the Vikings game he should had atleast three more picks (The Vikings dropped) plus he a game changing fumble..

Completion % followed by QB rating:

DET: 61.8% 108.0
JAX: 54.8% 119.2
IND: 58.6% 93.7
WAS: 71.4% 150.7
NYG: 63.2% 83.0
CHI: 65.9% 94.2
HOU: 66.7% 103.3
DAL: 61.5% 90.2
NYG: 60.0% 97.6
MIN: 58.1% 74.1

However, he had 9 rushing TD's which aren't a factor in his QB rating so he should get some more credit for those.

Still, only 1 game with a QB rating in the 80's and only 1 game with it in the 70's.

That's still very good

That lowest QB rating from the Minnesota game of 74.1 is between Hasselbeck's average for last year (73.2) and Mark Sanchez last year (75.3)

So, at his worst last year, Vick was Sanchez's or Hasselbeck's average.

But let's get off this threadjack lol

Mike Vick's ratings will probably be fine.

Don't get your hopes up to much, EA is moving away from manuals like Ubisoft, so I don't expect something any more in-depth than what we've been getting. I believe its just going to be like the old paper manual being in the game.

Instead of a paper manual,can't EA make a section on there site with all the stuff you need to know for the game?

Umm no, if they did that, nobody would buy the $20 strategy guide.

Imagine taking a run at (in this case Eli) at the beginning of a game, taking the 15 yard Roughing the Passer penalty, but completely rattling him for the remainder of the game... imagine the possibilites ... Awesome.
