FBGRatings Seeks to Recalibrate Madden Ratings, Change Game

[StanleyStutters]

I was checking out the site and it looks really interesting. I just have a couple of questions:

1. Is there any way to download these rosters for use on the 360 or do they have to be updated manually?

2. Is there a date set for the next update? I'd like to try these out in M12, but I don't want to edit all the players only to find out a new update is about to be released.

1. No.

2. Early August. Players will typically be updated the beginning of each month.

Hey man, let me start off by saying thanks, these ratings saved Madden for me. They play some great games, I just have one question...how do you determine the SPC and CIT of receivers? Specifically AJ Green...granted I'm a little biased being a Bengals fan and Georgia fan, but his seem a little low imo...I'd appreciate it if you could enlighten me..

The great thing about these ratings is they are completely UNBIASED. Everything you see is the culmination of both raw scouting data and measurable data. For WRs, the scouts use two ratings that are pretty close to one another, but may differ widely. These are qualified as the "Catch under duress" and "Hands in tight spaces" categories. Both are independent of one another, but many players are either good or bad at both. These correlate to the SPC and CIT ratings you see in Madden. Catch under duress is the same as saying how well a receiver can adjust to and make a difficult catch while the hands in tight spaces attribute is a bit more obvious.

All of these ratings require skill AND consistency. The averages for a WR are around 66 for each category, but it differs for other positions. A.J. Green is above the average for a WR completing one season. He had some really nice grabs last year and will only improve. In fact, I would expect those two attributes to receive increases next as he is already a solid route runner. His consistent performances will determine it, however.

First off Dan---love the rosters and the effect it has on gameplay. I am curious about why you have never posted updated 360 and PS3 rosters with your edits included. Is that not the purpose of this project? I mean no disrespect but it would seem to me that you would create more of a following if they could actually try your rosters out----without having to input all this data. I only did 3 teams and it is a pretty monumental task. Also, no mention of how to update incoming players while in franchise mode so the fit your ratings scheme Again, thanks for your efforts and insight.
