According to the data I have that can correlate to a Madden rating, then yes, his INDIVIDUAL attributes would verify that statement. Keep in mind that injuries also affect the OVR rating for some of those players you listed.

so how do you factor injuries into the overall rating? just lower their individual attributes if they have been injured a lot? if so why not leave their individual attributes alone and lower the injury attribute. just because a player has an injury history doesn't diminish their talent. if this has already been addressed my apologies.

I share your sentiment for the "injuries don't diminish talent" statement. However, I keep the raw individual attributes the same, but lower the OVR by means of other attributes. Injury history and proneness to injury is also included in all of this data.

The thread was regarding the interview about the site and to peak interest and answer questions. What causes an inconvenience is when many, many questions have already been answered and keep coming up. I feel like I have been good enough to answer them when they come up, but it gets old to keep hearing the same old thing.

I hate to say it but you're going to continue to get "stupid questions" until you make a FAQ page somewhere - whether it be on your website, on the first page of this thread (by editing your first post in the thread), or by making a totally new thread. It is very unreasonable, based on the size of this thread, to expect every person to read it in its entirety.

I have no desire whatsoever to create a FAQ page. I don't know about anyone else here, but when I see a topic that I find interesting in these forums, I read the forum in it's entirety first to get some idea on the discourse of the topic. Does that make me unreasonable?

Anyway, let's get back on topic please.

Hey Dan,

I know this may sound crazy, but I am new to the Madden gaming world.. I haven't played Madden since 2004.. I am a huge basketball guy both gaming and real life... I also watch football, but never got in to Madden. That is until this year!

Anyway, I wanted to ask you a few questions and I hope I'm not bothering you...

1. I Love the way you put together your data for the ratings.. Will there be a roster download for the Xbox 360 or are we inputting them on our own in Madden 12?

2. On Your website I see that the players are updated ratings wise.. Are the current as of this off season or are they based on last years numbers? how are the rookies rated data wise?

3. Will the Depth Charts on your website be updated before the season?


Thanks Dan, Like I said Great Job on the ratings...

Why is Osi Umenyiora's overall so low? Even lower than Jason Pierre-Paul's.
