FBGRatings Seeks to Recalibrate Madden Ratings, Change Game

[garret2]

overalls dont matter to this point, dan will update those as the season draws closer. position specific skills are what matter and they are all backed up by his detailed scouting data.

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...

1. For this year you will have to put them in on your own. I am still sorting some things out, so it will be another year.

2. First of all, I don't use statistics. I use scouting data only, which is updated weekly. The OVR rating includes injuries like you see in the game. So, all ratings are updated as of late June, 2011.

3. I am hoping to get to depth charts prior to week one of the regular season.

His OVR is low because of his hip surgery during the offseason. Should be back up if he reports to camp. And yes, holding out does also affect the OVR because a player is not getting his work in.

Right now injuries are what is affecting the OVR rating the most. Like you say, look at the position-specific skills to get the best idea on how your players will be rated at this point.

It would be nice if someone else could implement the ratings and then upload a roster here on OS. I would, but I don't know how.

One thing I noticed while looking at the top players by positions on your website...Jon Beason plays the mike position. He has played the WLB position in the past because of Thomas Davis' injuries but he is now back inside where he excels....

He said the positions are what the players were coming out of college. He will change it when the team depth charts become available/before week 1.

The main thing holding it back from full-on rosters is some legal stuff I am dealing with regarding copyrights for the site and ratings...just to make you all aware of that.
