FBGRatings Seeks to Recalibrate Madden Ratings, Change Game

[Argooos]

I think people are too used to ratings where the ratings scale is self-contained with in each position. Like the guy who thought Vick should be a 99 speed because he is the fastest QB. It's so refreshing to have ratings that are actually realistic, but it's going to take some people some time to get used to.

Will you have ratings for old players?

I agree with that completely. I wasn't comparing peterson to an offensive lineman. My comparison, for comparison's sake that is, was to jones-drew mainly. At the very least, I would think Peterson is one of the physically stronger RBs in the league, and seeing Jones-drew have more str than him seemed odd thats all.

Same goes for his stiff arm and trucking. Both, to me as a casual fan, would seem to me that peterson would have the edge. But to each his own!

No, really Carlos Rogers is known for his startling ability to drop balls. See: Colts game last year... or nearly any game he's ever played. Hall has good hands, which is why he has more picks.

Terrell Thomas is a far better player than Aaron Ross, yet Thomas is a 76 while Ross is a 77. What's up with that?

No sorry this is for current players only.

I guess all you need to see is this vid for that Jones-Drew vs. Peterson STR issue.

He's 5-07 and 208 and is far more compact and is built like a brick. Peterson is strong, but a bit more strung out. Drew is like a human wrecking ball.

You are going to have to back that statement up with some evidence before buy it. Do you have video that shows all of his dropped INTs? Or stats for it?

Getting picks is more than just having good hands. It's also about being in position to outplay a WR and get to the ball. Could be a factor in this case.
