No. I do not. There are better measures for STR. The bench is a test of muscular endurance, more that overall upper body strength. You would also have to quantify lower body strength into the STR equation, which the bench test does not do. I have other measures for STR.

Another update.

Basic data has been completed for all players. That means that they all have Ht, Wt, DOB, positions, draft year, experience, colleges, and draft data.

Next up is to link the players to the scouting data which should only take a day or so. Then its on to putting in all the ratings for the season. That will be the most complex part, but shouldn't be too bad. I will be on vacation next week so nothing will be happening, but after that I will be right back at it getting these ratings in for opening day.

Are Madden team using you or not?
Will there be a spread sheet or an easier way of getting lots of stats rather than clicking on an individual? Your stats are awesome dude and i would like to use them.

STR could then be a formula using bench press for upper body and broad jump for lower body.
Formula using them both to spit out an overall "strength" rating.

Vertical jumping is probably 'the' drill to measure the "jumping" attribute.

No, I am independent from the Madden team. If you would like them to know about my work, feel free to email them and let them know.

And yet, the JMP rating in Madden also affects diving forward, not just upward. If diving for a pylon for example.

The broad is not always an indicator of lower body STR and leg drive though. Variances in technique and launch could affect the distance attained, especially because players do the drill at different weights.

No updates as of yet. I am on vacation until the 25th so no work is being done all this week. But once I get back I will continue to process data including position-specific attributes. Stay tuned.
