TSX does not provide my NFL scouting material. They merely power my site, offer web assistance, and provide me with rookie scouting information, all of which is available for free online.

Since they do not have any games in the NFL under their belts we have to rely more on college scouting info and attempt to project how he will grade out in the NFL. For Griffin, I believe the expectation will be that he will grade out very well as a runner but will struggle as a passer. The good thing is that the ratings are so dynamic and change so often that he will most likely see that rating and others that are way up there drop, while the ratings on the lower end will rise. This will eventually place him near the positional mean. However, until that information against NFL competition is compiled, we have to rate players off of that projection.

Nice! Damn...how come you weren't chosen as a Game Changer?

I was not chosen because I did not apply to be one. I don't know the process or what you have to do. I am not even really sure what one is or what they do with EA. Odds are that things are so messed up there anyway that my ideas would simply be bounced. I have also heard that EA is very adept at pumping people for information then using such information to change the game without actually hiring anyone. That kind of turns me off to such endeavors.

Even though I have lobbied hard for you to apply, I understand that you wouldn't want your hard work usurped for free. Hopefully something can be worked out between you and EA/Tiburon because your perspective would be an asset to Madden.

Actually, EA has hired three people, that I know of, from OS.

AJ, Chase and Christian McCloud.

Well they didn't make me an offer. They have my number and know how to get a hold of me. I am sure if they were sincerely interested they would have acted upon that interest accordingly.

do you anticipate there being anyway to get these rating into the rosters when m13 drops, aside from manually entering them one by one? thanks!

As of right now there is no plan in place to create a roster for download.

There will be a new ratings update coming after week 3 of the preseason.
