I guess I used my eyes watching the GB games. You have the misfortune of not being able to watch EVERY game of EVERY team. So you do the best you can. That's very true. I encourage you to do that. And others are free to respond to them. But your Shields picking nose comment was ridiculous.

Bush is more agile and gets up to top-end a bit quicker, but he is lacking the SPD and Jumping ability compared to Shields. I have Bush 6 points higher in AWR, mostly due to his greater experience in the league, and 9 points higher in play recognition for the same reason.

1. All the scouting data you see is PRELIMINARY and is not finalized. Read the FBGratings thread for more detail.

2. The scouting data is as of the end of last season, as well as the OVR ratings. That is to say, directly after the SB was played.

3. Shields had been upwards of a 71 before the SB was played.

4. Keep in mind that this system of ratings is designed to stretch out the ratings. Your "average" player that is a 75 in Madden according to EAs ratings is more like a 70 in mine.

5. Experience and injuries affect the OVR rating significantly, and they are often overcome by physical skills in the ratings system.

The point of the nose picking statement was to show how asinine it would be to not consider Bush's efforts that day in coverage.

Indeed. Check out the FBG thread for more info or questions.

What he was listed and what he played in the SB were 2 different things. After Woodson and Shields left the game, Bush and Lee came in and played CB and Nickel CB. Did you watch the game and where they played?

Of course he did! And sometimes Brad Smith played QB for the Jets last year. Does that mean that he is listed as a QB on the depth chart? Just because a guy plays a position in the game doesn't mean that is his listed spot. And in Madden, they assign positions so we have to list one. I choose to list the official position that a player is listed under on the depth chart. If your #2 FS also serves as a Dime CB, you don't list him as a CB.

And yes, I watched the game and where everyone was playing. Don't insult my viewership.

Going by the couple of Packer examples you've given in this thread, and your rational, I don't have much confidence in your rating system, so I'll just stay clear of them. Hey if others enjoy them, great. Seems like you put a lot of time into this.

I just LOL at the couple of Packer examples you gave in this thread.

Fine by me. To each his own.
