I was basing it off the eye test, my eyes to be specific lol. My eyes that watched most of Barry Sanders and Jerry Rice's career and all of everyone that came after.

Now Jerry Rice isn't as untouchable ratings wise, IMO, as Barry Sanders because Rice wasn't necessarily the biggest or the fastest, or anything like that. He just knew how to run the hell out of a route and was just overall very smart on the field. I honestly feel that players like Calvin Johnson and Larry Fitzgerald definitely deserve to be right up there with Rice.

Barry Sanders tho, was simply the most amazing player I've ever seen play in my lifetime(I'm 33). He was not some modern day player, playing in a different time because I haven't seen ANY modern day player do what he did on a consistent basis. He had 5 yd runs that were better than any run most RB's have in their whole career. When you put players like him into the game, you have to have a definite separation between him and modern day players. He was the epitome of a 99 OVR player. You don't do him justice to put MJD 2 points below him.

Overall tho, my point was that it's ok to have the scale rated among today's player as long as all you got are today's players in the game. Once you added the legends into the game tho, the rating scale has to be skewed to show the difference between a player that's considered a "legend" and a player that's good now. Jamaal Charles is nowhere near a legend at this point in his career, so why is his rating near one?
you have to remember that ovr stops at 99. but you can still increase the ratings that have increase ovr even when ovr is at 99. so just because mjd is a 97 doesnt mean that he is really 2 points behind barry or any other legend compared to the guys today.

i remember a few years back when Ray Lewis was on the cover. he had a 99 ovr and another LB(cant remember who) was rated a 97. someone took a look at the individual ratings that effected the ovr for lbs and pointed out that Ray actually would have been i think 6 or 7 ovr points better than the other LB based on the individual ratings.

Well, I guess you're right on that note. The OVR really should go the way of the Dodo bird.

madden should just go with a general grade rating for players like A+, A, A-, B+, B, B-, etc, etc because people put too much stock in numbers

I like the way the backs react when hit by a defender, when they are hit by a defender the ball carrier body reacts to it, by stumbling. Now imagine how good running would look if they had foot-planting.

I disagree that 95-99 rating should be reserved for Hall of Fame type players. I think ratings should be based of the season the player had last season.
