Reading on, since you asked to report any rating mistake/overview: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dXze0cQwD-8 Btw, if you check the vids on the same page, you find why Kerry Rhodes is still unemployed Just ran some testing with M25. Mangold (he was at 14THP, I gave him FBG's 13THP and 8/8/8 THA) reached around 40 yards so it's good enough. Somehow, Rhodes with 62THP only reached around 50 (assuming the vid is real, he reached about 55 yards on the throw). FBG has him at 21THP http://www.fbgratings.com/members/pr...php?pyid=54816

The error reporting applies more to the basic data like name, DOB, height, weight, etc.

lol then there's nothing to report!

Rhodes needs about 72 THP with base sliders in M25 to be realistic.

Doing some 40 yard & 100m testing with a few players, including Teddy Williams (fastest NFLer? ran a 100m dash under 10 sec wind aided), edited to 99SPD 85ACC he was too slow -you got him at 95SPD 88ACC

Do what you want with your ratings, but I will tell you that messing with the SPD and ACC attributes will go against what the site is meant to do...rate all players equally using the same measures. Too much editing will get you away from what the ratings are intended to do.

Dan said that he redid the rankings...So does that mean we need to redo the whole roster now?

Is anyone working on this already by any chance?

Bolded parts.


DISCLAIMER to people who think I might be trolling. I've known about and used FBG since Madden 2003, followed this thread, read all its post and support Dan's project. I've ALREADY played games on ps3 using Blazelore's roster.

And blazelore efforts make a huge difference Im just unsure if the ratings are as accurate to 2013 as they were to 2012 I mean MOST fantasy leagues USED 2012 stats and not projected 2013 pre season(who uses pre season anyway unless your baseball!) but in general they play a much better game with them without

From Ft. Lauderdale, FL:

Like I said before in this thread, I follow the data. The data drives the results. If I edit the results and deviate, then players are no longer uniformly rated. If I do that, then why use it. My ratings system is merely one way of rating players. You can use your imagination to make your own if you like, but my methodology is staying as is. Besides, it sounds like people are really enjoying the gameplay with them. Why mess with something that works?

OK guys i gotta bounce...ship leaves port at noon. I will keep up as much as I can with the thread, but no guarantees. Later!
