The OVRs might not be perfect, but at least the individual players would be rated as they really are, right?

Incorrect. The OVR actually plays a huge part in determining some of the other data. I'm not going to get into why and how, but it is very important that they add up. So I must have the OVR ratings match up. This will delay things significantly.

Oh, well that's a shame. I had hoped to use your ratings in this year's game. Maybe at some point later in the development cycle you'll be done, then I can use them for my 2nd or 3rd franchise.

Yeah, it's a major bummer to learn that they changed the formulas. I guess if I can get the game early somehow I can calculate all the OVR formulas and plug away for a week straight and get them done by opening weekend. But its a long shot.

Would you say you'll have them done maybe by mid-season?

If they have changed the range, then they won't be done until 2012. If the range is the same, then they should be up and running mid-season at the latest.

Thanks for the response, feels like I'm talking to a dev (that's supposed to be a compliment)

LOL! I have already had a few requests to add me to the DEV team. Write EA an email and let them know!
