haha im just going off what it says on his site. also i was noticing why does almost every receiver have route running and release in the 90s yet their spectacular catch rating and catch in traffic rating are in the 60s or 70s? is every receiver that great of a route runner but not so great at the other attributes? just asking for some clarification! thanks

Individual ratings do not always lead to performance. Ratings in Madden are based on individual attributes, not team attributes. And as well all know, individuals do not make success in the NFL because it is the ultimate team sport. Therefore, do not rely on numbers or stats, but rather, how the player grades out according to scouts. That is the philosophy used here.

No, these are set as of right now. They will change week to week though and keep in mind that injuries affect the OVR rating.

WRs run the most routes of any player on the field. Therefore, most of them are very good, technical route runners as it is imperative to get open in the NFL. However, not every WR is great at catching under duress. In fact, I would argue that TEs, who are often going over the middle facing LBs and S's are some of the best receivers at making a catch while under duress.

so how does on-field performance factor in these ratings? no way nate washington should be a 90. games aren't played in college scouting reports.

TO higher OVR and SPC than Larry Fitz?

AD rated lower than 3 other RBs?

1. On-field performance plays a very large role. Look at Aaron Rodgers for an example.

2. These are not based on college scouting data. Only pro scouting data is used except for incoming rookies.

3. The attributes that add up to an overall rating are based on factors that are measurable in a game, and some that are not. Hence, you have to rely on factors from on the field directly and some that cannot be qualified or quantified during a game.

4. The OVR rating is a combination of all factors for each attribute, so as for Nate Washington's rating we will simply have to agree to disagree.

Not everyone is going to agree with how I rate players, but to me, the system works. You can choose to use them, or disregard them if you wish...or you can just edit all the players on your own.

Well I want your system to work, but if AD is as good of a RB as Nate Washington the receiver... well...
