FBGRatings Seeks to Recalibrate Madden Ratings, Change Game

[steamboat2302]

Can anyone tell me they have had success with simming with these type of rosters? I'm getting every QB outside of brady, manning and Brees getting 50% comp% with more pics then TD's.

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!

Not satisfied with the answer (I'm not trying to have you redo the methodology... nor did I say I was dissatisfied with the "new" gameplay) but enjoy your vacation bud!

not sure if in this thread but someone posted low AWR= bad sim stats for QB, try raising it 10pts or so see how the top QBs fare?

Sorry, but I do not have another answer for you so my initial response will have to suffice.

raising the awareness of the QB's helps, but not enough. And it has a drastic effect on defensive sack/INT stats going in the toilet. A team with 0 interceptions, another with 0 sacks.

So DCEBB, I understand you will be re-rating all players with a new formulary. If this is the case, what is the timeline for completion of that project? How different will the ratings be in comparison with the current ratings? Will you be giving us notification on the status of the project? As you know, there are a few rosters out there that have been or are close to completion. Many hours went in to completing them. Will these new ratings make these old ratings obsolete?

Thanks for your time?

Well, here is the deal with that.

Now that I have all of the OVR formulas cracked, I have already input them into the database. That means that I can now tweak each attribute within a certain allowable range to get the OVR to match better. Since I was out for a week, the first thing I will do is update all of the rosters and new OVR ratings. Then, I will go position by position through the database. I really want to continue to "audit" some of my other players in the database, however. These are the players with information that is incomplete. I think I currently have about 500 K/Ps left to audit, so I may start with that small position group.

The other option is that I start with all of the players that have already been fully audited. Those are the players that make up all of those currently on rosters. The drawback to starting with those players is that it will change all of the attributes for just about everyone currently in the NFL. For your purposes as roster creators, this will mean you will have to re-edit everyone currently on a team or in your FA pool.

Either way, it has to get done. It is just a matter of when.

If I can get around to it this year. Like I said in the post above, I still have to audit about 2/3 of the players in the database. It takes time. Plus having to do weekly updates takes away from that time. Don't expect anything soon.
