The individual attributes have not been finalized so those will change before the attributes are finally made to equate to the OVR rating.

And yes, I have Peterson lower than 3 other RBs. Once again, we will have to agree to disagree.

Well what? Feel free to elaborate and do as you wish with the ratings I provide.

well it'd help the people that follow the threads if you'd ever give a reason for such things as those. understood on the individual attributes.

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.

Excellent point. And while I may have some disagreements with a few ratings, the bottom line is that my judgements, and apparently Donny Moore's judgements, are based on perceptions and statistics/production. You've taken the time to do the work, and none of these ratings are baseless, which is why I'm choosing to use them.

While all you have to do is quote stats and beg for your player to get a boost from Donny (or make the highlight reel), these ratings take no favoritism and are purely data based. Which is better than any other rating system can say

The simple answer is that there are 3 RBs who graded out better on a whole (remember as an individual, so factors such as OL are thrown out). As you can see, Peterson struggles protecting the ball, catching, and having overall game awareness.

And that is why I chose to do it all this way. Stats, in many team sports, lie because an individual's performance often hinges on the performance of other players. If the QB doesn't get the right pre-snap read, then the OL can't determine which defenders to block. If the OL can't block, the QB can't get off the throw. If the QB can't get off the throw, the WR can't get an opportunity to catch it. If the WR can't get open, then it's possible all previous steps are moot anyway.

As you can see, using INDIVIDUAL scouting data, eliminates the dependency on other players when making ratings.

makes sense. i totally agree. but would u mind explaining larry fitzgerald, calvin johnson, and brandon lloyd having 77, 77, and 68 spectacular catch ratings respectively when they are considered to be 3 of the best in the NFL at making spectacular, acrobatic catches? thanks!

Will you be doing these ratings for Madden 12 as well? If so, when do you expect to be done?
