All players are currently listed at their draft positions. These will be changed this week.

Anxiously awaiting seeing the position changes, as I follow your ratings and if it is OK with you, I would like to start a thread when Madden 12 is released, so we here at OS, may team together and get your ratings in to a roster update for the XBOX 360? I figure it would save you the time, in having to do it, and with 3-4 dedicated members maybe we can have this knocked out in a 1-2 weeks...

Just let me know if I can help at all and if this would be OK,

The only issue I foresee is the copyright battle I am going through right now. I will have to check if I can allow a mass file to be downloaded without the copyright protection I am seeking. If fact, until I get that stuff signed off on, I may even have to lock the site again. I'll keep you all posted on what happens with that.

I wouldn't have an issue if not for the mass distribution being done OUTSIDE of my site. THAT, I know, will cause some issues for me.

Well hopefully the copyright issue is resolved as I would hate for the site to be locked as just looking over it the past few days and seeing the Madden 12 initial ratings, there is a huge advantage to using your ratings as I know it will enhance game play.

Please keep us posted on what's going on with the site, and I will continue to offer any help you need in continuing the rating info if you need it.

I will call my atty this week and let you know for sure. I don't see why it would be an issue, especially if you all offer it for free. I just have to cover my bases here. I will give you an answer when I find out.

Ok Thanks... Keep up the great work on your end as well, everything I have seen so far is so cool and will definitely help revive madden gamers once/if we are able to implement the ratings.

OK guys another update here.

The recent news of the change to the calculation formula for the OVR rating is going to set me back a bit. Because the game is released so close to the start of the season, I will have no time to get the OVR ratings calculated in time for week 1. I guess EA just can't keep things status quo over there, so it ends up hurting the progress and the process. It will be even worse if I come to find that the range for attributes has increased from 12-99 to 0-99 or 0-100 as many calculations will have to be re-figured.

[pjt8405]

Well that is a bummer, but hopefully they didn't change it too much as far as calculating the overall rating, and they kept the scale the same.. It's not the end of the world as it will be well worth the wait in the end.

If you need any help at all, just let me know....
