To those who try the ratings out in-game, use them, and like them...great! To those who don't...that's alright too. I continue to stick to my guns on the player ratings and, as I have stated before, do not think it would do the correct amount of justice in my mind if I were to use some of the rating habits exhibited by EA and the guys at Tiburon. This site is my personal effort to do things using the information I have at my disposal and interpolate that data to the best of my ability...no more, no less.

my bad for not being specific....

i meant for M12 and what can I do personally with the generated draft classes to keep them on par with your re-rated rosters. i ask all this because im assuming that your doing all this because you believe that your rosters significantly improve upon the gameplay experience. at this moment i dont know if im going to purchase M13, so unless that changes, im going to purchase M12 and roll from there.

There are ways to get the Madden 12 ratings for rookies to beter replicate the FBG system. I have not posted the directions for doing so and wasn't going to for Madden 12. However, since CC came out without the ability to edit, I may have to dedicate a page to this on the site for Madden 12 users. Let me see if I can get a guide posted sometime soon. If, however, the guys at EA once again change the formulas for determining the OVR again, most of my work will be toward changing the OVR rating calculations again to equate with that of Madden 13. If I do post that guide I will post it here on OS so everyone will know.

In the meantime, I encourage you to try the ratings out in Madden 12 to see if you get the results you want. I don't have a slider set though because so many people play so many different ways. You will have to mess with those. Keep the SPD threshold high, however. That will yield the most realistic results.

Hey, anyone tested a franchise with these rosters? What about the stats of the others teams?

Umm I'm sorry but your assessment of Brandon Carr. He's well know for his exceptional Press Man coverage yet you have him rated poorly in both categories? Same with Claiborne

To start, Claiborne is a rookie. Becoming a press/man CB in the NFL is one of the hardest things to do in the game. If those ratings are going to rise, he will have to prove he can be outstanding in both, consistently, in the NFL. College production means nothing unless you are able to take your game to the next level. If he does, then those ratings will rise.

As for Carr, the consistency is the other thing he needs more of. He is a very good MCV CB coming off of a decent contract season, but still needs to be more consistent. He can play lock down at times but will still bite on some double moves as well. 80 is very good MCV for a CB in this league. The highest so far is only a 98 and there are only 15 players with a MCV rating over 90, regardless of position. Carr is great at getting an initial 'pop' on a receiver but can lose them at times as well when they get back on top of the route. His high STR (62) for a CB reflects that, but his lower PRS rating reflects the latter. Once again, if he can show in Dallas that he can consistently do this (I live in Dallas and listen to 105.3 and 103.3 all day while at work and have heard that he has been having some coverage issues this offseason) then his ratings will also rise in these categories.

The cool thing is that they will be updated monthly during the season, so you will be able to track the progress.

I see that injured players had a drop to the ratings... I will start a franchise with your "rosters" but Phil Taylor is a 40Ovr rating, what I have to change for players injured have real ratings?

Sorry for my english, I'm from Brazil.

I guess you can raise his attributes a bit, but you won't be able to see the actual new ratings until he recovers and his OVR goes up again.
