OS Mock Draft With Madden NFL 13 Ratings Projections

[Pandetta]

The individual player ratings are so incredibly inaccurate that it is impossible to enjoy the article/mock.

um... the colts already told andrew luck he was going to be 1st pick

Mock draft guys! Wow, ease up. I think that many of the picks make a lot of sense especially with the rationale right ups that Dustin and TD analyzed

Justin Blackmon at 95 speed? What? Stephen Hill at 95 speed? What? Stephen Hill was the fastest WR at the draft, and Blackmon is not a speedy WR. Richardson is faster than an 86. Ratings are pretty out of whack.

These all just seem like eyeball ratings. And not of, or based on any scale(which is how I sometimes feel about the way Donny has done ratings, but that's for another discussion). Robert Griffin would probably outrun Justin Blackmon in a footrace, but he's an 86 because that sounds good for a QB.

Luck is going #1. Colts GM has already made this official. https://twitter.com/#!/AdamSchefter/...38004546809856

The problem is that for some players they look like eyeball ratings made by people who haven't even seen them play. The Speed ratings just don't make sense about the board, Richardson at 86 sounds like someone going "Oh yes he's the next RB from Bama, so he'll be a slow power back like Ingram right?", Richardson plays massively faster than Ingram. That's why he's such a great prospect, he got Speed AND Power.

this is the problem with madden ratings....a player who has never played in the nfl before has an awareness rating of 85.....yea get out of town!! that means over a 15 year career he can only improve awareness 14 points???


madden ratings need to realize that players are physically gifted but dont always know the ins and outs of the nfl ....

awareness prior to week 1 of the nfl season for any madden rookie should never be higher than 70....

you can still give them solid physical attributes...

but lowering the awareness really makes them play like rookies and also helps keep the ratings spread out.

smh!!

wow looking over the rest of this list....all these players are rated waaaay too high.

we gotta take a stand at rookies being rated soo high!! this takes away the challenge of franchise mode!!!!!!!

ugh!!

make some trades. sign some players. sim 1 year....do your draft. go through free agency...and you can make the colts a superbowl contender....

all because ratings and progression ratings are way to high and realistic!! this is the 1 thing that could really keep me from considering madden 13
