Considered by who, exactly, is what I would ask. The data that I have shows that these 3 WRs may not be as elite as some would suppose. HOWEVER, you must also remember that the CTH and SPC, CIT ratings work symbiotically. That is, the CTH rating affects the other two ratings. Now, Fitz has a CTH of 90, Lloyd an 86, and Johnson an 83 which measures the pure, mundane use of their hands. This rating will, in the game, affect the other 2. So in reality, all three still have very good hands.

Aren't these for Madden 12 already? Please read the thread for a timetable.

I read about half the thread, sorry for the stupid question I saw the very first post said Madden 11.

You had just about convinced me that Vick still deserved elite speed, and then you decided to drop him down a bit. What made you decide this?

I ended up getting multiple requests to lower it.

Is he slower than the data you have suggests or is it because of the way this game handles mobile QBs?

The data suggests that he is about 92 AGI, 93 SPD, and 96 ACC. However, his overall athleticism has decreased, so I had to adjust for that. Anyone who feels that some attributes are off were invited to submit changes they would make with significant evidence for those changes. Not just opinion. Several posters did do just that with Vick's raw attributes, so I decided to lower them.

Excuse my ignorance if this has already been posted/asked, but I can't seem to find a list of sliders you spoke of in an earlier post, post #43.
Is there somewhere to find those and the threshold?

I am loving the resurgence of this site. I remember when it was up in '04 and used it then too. Thanks!
