Just looking over the rosters/ratings etc...either I'm missing something or I just do not agree with how slow all the players seem to be...then Steve Smith on CAR 94 trk, 99stf, and a couple other 99's in the moves category....

He's my favorite player and I watch every game but even I wouldn't take it that far as a homer. 60"s spec catch/cit, 89 spd???

Again I'm not picking they just seem very unusual...

Edit-Ted Ginn Jr. w/ 84 trucking at 5'11 180...what exactly do you use to determine trucking, it seems really high. I could see it being higher for Smith as hes one of the more physical receivers, but Ginn has never been that kind of physical player...

Your site seems popular enough, youd' wrather tinker around on a site instead of actually having the masses play with these adjusted ratinngs when we finally have roster share to see if they improve gameplay or not...?

Seems a little strange you wouldnt be excited and want to submit your work, but you'll fluff it online???

All of the ratings currently posted were last updated in December using an old system. The new ratings, once posted, will be even more foreign to you, I'm sure.

For Smith, take his split times, create a cubic function, differentiate, and then compare it to the rest of the population. His new speed will be around 86 with an ACC of 85. So yes, these are very different from what Madden has been feeding us for years (players in the 90s in just about every category).

Ted Ginn - his R-value (given by the scouts to determine the number of tackles "broken or slammed") was 2.3 out of a maximum 3.4 for any WR. His new TRK rating will be around 67 with an ELU of 80 and a SFA of 63. Once again, a bit different from what Madden publishes.

The site was never designed to provide rosters. It was designed to incorporate real NFL scouting data into Madden NFL Football. So long as nobody is using the information to SELL roster files with the ratings published on the site, I'm fine with it. I already had to have the legal system shut down a few operations attempting to make a buck off of my hard work. So long as you don't sell it, I'm OK with you reproducing what I have for your own purposes.

Do that many people actually use them? I'm kind of skeptical in my thinking that people would actually take the time to manually update it themselves. Perhaps a coder could be hired cheaply (or for free) which could create a program that would simply dump the data into a roster file? I agree, doing it by hand, even without running the site would simply be too much.

Well, I entertain about a couple dozen emails a week with people asking about the site including roster production, so I guess there are enough people that want the rosters. I just don't have the time to produce them.
