He has very good AWR for a one year pro (82) as well as very good physical skills. Even his RBK (70) and PBK (66) is high. The same hold for his IBL (80). In a system where 70 is a universal average, he is rated quite well. However, his abilities as a ball carrier are what is holding his OVR rating down. The low ability to muscle through tackles, see holes, and employ special moves in the open field are holding him back. Once adequate and CONSISTENT evidence of this is provided for, they will be adjusted.

I can agree with that. I suppose the FB position is gear towards giving a higher rating based off of RB type skills, at least in madden. Miller, in particular, has his skill set almost entirely towards being quick, getting to the block point, and dominating the defender he makes contact with. I wouldn't expect his RB skills like elusiveness, break tackle and the sort to be high, but, as you put it, his run block and IBL, even his speed a little higher than average.

I'm trying hard to be objective about him, but I feel he was a little snubbed by the madden creators themselves, not you in particular.

If the data has been collected by the scouts to determine an attribute, it is accordingly rated in the FBG system. I don't like to deal in biased speculation, but rather prefer to utilize real information from informed sources.

DO you think you might could try to contact however you spoke with before about working for EA/Tiburon, in reference to them utilizing your ratings/FBG for a separate ratings update? What I mean is, during the season I think Moore releases a roster/ratings update very week, so seeing as thee is no editing in CCM, I wonder could EA/Tiburon release a separate player ratings for based on FBG.

If not, I am hoping someone figures out a way to replace Moore's file with one edited outside of CCM. Doubtful though.

I was contacted last year by Adambroski who referred my site to his boss. I tried to contact him earlier this month but he said he had no idea on what was going on with Madden as he may be moving to another game. Maybe we need a petition LOL!

OK guys all of the players have been updated as of the 19th. There will be a new set of updates each Friday/Saturday from here on out through the end of the season starting this upcoming week. Changes will reflect player movement, transactions, designations, and ratings/attributes changes. I know it sucks that we can't use them in CC this year but this season will prove to be a dry run for upcoming seasons when we CAN use FBG Ratings in CC. Feel free to report any errors via PM.

I will also be looking into adding player equipment and updated player profile pics this season so be on the lookout for that as well. Enjoy!

i noticed that peyton manning's throwing power fell from about 85 down to 75. do physical ability ratings like throwing power,speed,etc. reflect current injuries and then go back up to 'full potential' after they've healed?

Yes they do. Once Manning shows that his arm is back to his full THP, it will go back up. Right now, however, it is at 75. I understand this is a big drop for him, but I guess that is what the scouting consensus is for the moment. Even after his nice game the other night, it seems like he is only able to chuck it about 40-50 yards or so at the moment. He completed one pass for 38 in his most recent game. He even admitted that his arm is not as strong as it was. The thing here is that he has to PROVE that he is capable of making deeper throws on a consistant basis.
