FBGRatings Seeks to Recalibrate Madden Ratings, Change Game

[DCEBB2001]

OK guys I posted another update late last night. Players have new attributes. The OVR ratings are the same, but those will be changing after the draft when I get about 2000 more rookies added to the site. In addition, there will be some content changes to the site to update some information. Before March 13th, all teams will have updated rosters and player movement in time for free agency. OVR ratings will also be calculated in the time leading to the draft. Enjoy!

Looks like a great resource. Very impressive!
I'm excited to dive in under the hood.

Thanks. All of the attributes do not add up to the OVR ratings yet, but they will soon. Right now I am just updating some of the player movements since the last update. We have some 17000 players and will be getting 2000 more after the draft.

Howdy Dan!

Are you still planning on a downloadable PS3 version for M13?

M12 turned out to be a LOT better then expected, would have been even better still with these rosters implemented...

Thanks!

I am not sure yet. I have to figure out how I can effectively get the rosters created and distributed. I am thinking about just posting the updates every month in the download section once I have some files. The issue right now is that so much time is dedicated to maintaining the database, that creating the rosters by myself is not going to be a possibility. I am thinking about bringing someone in to actually create the rosters. It used to be so much easier on the PC because of all the external editors. It would only take about an hour per team...but now I can imagine it takes much, much, longer in-game. Once i get it all squared away I will let you all know. So thanks for the question.

So far, yes. My webmaster will be making some significant changes to the site, hopefully, this weekend. In addition, the depth charts, player positions, and rookies will all be added and ready to go. Once Training camps open, you can expect current OVR and attribute ratings. The next significant update will have ALL PLAYERS (except rookies) with attributes that correctly add up to the OVR ratings. So, big things are happening and the site will be fully ready to go for this season. It took a ton of hard work and patience, but it will offer some things that are rarely seen in the world of rating Madden players.

Well guys the updates are up. You will see that now ALL players (but rookies) have attributes that add up to the OVR ratings, appropriately. All of the rosters are updated as well with player movement through today. All jersey numbers are updated as well. Some players have not yet been assigned numbers, so those will be added during training camps. All rookies also have their raw attributes. Some are missing some attributes, however those will be posted during training camp as well. Enjoy!
