FBGRatings Seeks to Recalibrate Madden Ratings, Change Game

Which makes sense, because if the scouting data says that Player A with a RET of 0.2 is twice as good at returning kicks and punts than Player B with a RET of 0.1, then that comes out to be a RET rating of 4 for Player A and 2 for Player B. The problem is that people totally freak out when they see how low the OVR ratings are....starters in the 60s. The version currently on the website is more traditional-FBG, which is closer to current Madden, but utilizes old FBG metrics. I personally love the equal interval method, but once again, when I did it last year, people freaked out a bit too much.

Is there a way to see the players rated in this system?

If you heave a 360 I can upload the roster I have with those ratings. It's from last season Madden 25

Not unless I completely re-do every player in the database. Charter04 has a roster with the ratings for last season, so you can ask him. Otherwise, there is no way to toggle back and forth between systems.

Along the lines of the right "ratings system", I am wondering if someone would be willing to test all three systems and give me some direct feedback as to which one they prefer and list the pros and cons to each while playing with them in M25.

Let me know if you are interested either by replying in the thread or via PM. Would be a cool weekend project. All you would have to do is rate the players accordingly (I will get you the ratings for each method), play a few games, be a keen observer, and take some notes. Then, give me a short writeup regarding the gameplay for each version.

Anyone interested?

Do the ratings matter more in M-25 than the last couple of Maddens?
A shame You don't do classic teams...

If you mean if ratings in general matter more, IDK. I'm sure you can find some opinions/reviews here on OS about it though.

As for the FBG ratings making a difference, there are some threads around here by roster makers who fully believe that they do make the gameplay better. Check the roster forum.

I'm looking forward to seeing how much these ratings effect Madden 15's match up stick they're implementing from the NCAA games. I feel that it has a chance to take that pre-play tool to the next level, as well as showing off where an individual athlete shines in the FBG rating system.
