The more I read the more excited I became at the possibility of using these ratings in the next edition of Madden. I will probably try to work out a system for giving new ratings to the rookies as well to make them fit with your system. I have to say, I am really impressed that you have ratings for a guy like Andy Fantuz, who has never played a single down of professional American football. Ever year I create the Toronto Argonauts, and your website is going to make it so much easier, since you have ratings for half the Argos roster already! I for one would be fully in favor of a campaign to replace Donny Moore with Dan Berens as the new Ratings Czar

I have had great success with his physical ratings for some of these players in NCAA Football for Classic rosters

I didn't realize he was now inputting skill ratings for most players so i will give those a try aswell and see how they translate to EA's college game.

gameplay is off the hook from what i've seen using this as a base formula for myself....players are truly seperated in abilities and tendencies more now.

Let me know how that gameplay goes. I would appreciate an in-depth analysis of how it goes so I can make further adjustments if necessary.

Why does Carlos Rogers have a 52 catch rating while DeAngelo Hall's is only 44. Rogers can't catch anything to save his life, but Hall catches everything possible.

It has more to do with CTH ability. Just because Hall has more INT's does not always mean he has better hands. Hall has played in more games as a starter and has had more opportunities, thus more INTs.

I'm having a blast reading through your ratings. They look great! I must admit, I think you may have underrated Adrian Peterson a bit. I agree that he's overrated in the madden franchise, but, for example, I think hes stronger than a 65. I realize you get that number from his combine and pro days, but still. It just feels wrong, the man is huge!

I also think his vision, stiff arm, and trucking should be at least equal to jones-drew.

Either way, I'm just nit picking for the fun of it and to bring up conversation. The ratings are great!

Is he HUGE compared to an OL that is 6-6, 350? Probably not. He is still only 6-1 220ish and is strong FOR HIS SIZE AND BODY FRAME. He doesn't squat 700+ like some OL/DL so he will not have an STR rating that warrants such a high STR rating. If he was 6-5, 330, then I would up his STR, but since he isn't, he seems about right for this system.
