"Consider this my last communication to you in this regard, as attempting to explain anything further will only prove to be a waste of my time."

Hey man, just read what he is saying and who he is saying it about. Then think what might be ironic about it. That is all I will say about that on a public forum. Off the record, I would explain it. In print, I just can't do it.

How does that make it funny? Any scout who thinks Derek Cox is better than Joe Haden has no clue what he's talking about. A corner who struggled to cover WRs is better at man coverage than one of the best cover corners in the league. You act like this scouting department knows everything, and dismiss anyone else's opinions on a player. If you asked every single coach in the NFL who he'd want as a cover corner, all 32 would say Haden.

Okay guys, it's clear there's an irreconcilable disagreement here. Drop it and move on from this discussion.

Thanks.

Ok that's fine with me, sorry I got the thread off base

Here's my biggest issue and please let me know if I'm completely off for saying this but if anyone can remember back in the Sega days when we played with Barry Sanders who is arguably one of the greatest position players in NFL history we totally believed that he was worth a 95 rating. This goes the same for Jerry Rice and other superstar players of that time.

Does it not seem like we are boosting ratings at an astronomical rate. Marshawn Lynch is 95? You can't be serious. Russel Wilson at 93 is better then Vick in Atlanta in 2006? Can we all sit here and say that Clowney at 83 overall is better as a rookie then Posluszny, Dansby, Hawk, and Dameco Ryans in Madden 25?

If Manziel was in that Top 10 rookie class I was going to throw up. At least they got that right.

Who agrees?

I agree with that. That is one of the points of FBG Ratings - to get rid of that over-inflation. We don't give out 99 OVR ratings unless a player is truly worthy of it. Right now, not one player is rated 99. However, we must also work with in the box that is Madden's ratings system and OVR rating calculation.

I would actually prefer to rate players based on an equal-interval approach, this way there are only about 6 players rated 90+, 30 about 80+ and about 400 that are 70+. This is actually the most realistic way to mimic the data source.

You can determine what attributes affect the OVR in your game by simply raising/lowering each until the OVR goes up/down.
