That just doesn't make sense

Your wrong. You haven't played a game with these so again your basing your opinion on assumption. The gameplay is better than any roster I have tried. Key word tried. I for one am glad Dan won't listen to you because your just saying things with zero actual test results.

So what ever "help" you think your giving is not any help. Get some real test results and prove your right.

Most FBs aren't fast, aren't good at catching, and aren't good at blocking compared to the players at positions that specialize in those things. They are just a small combination of everything. There is no rating that really reflects blocking the right man other than AWR

Since there are no players rated lower than 45 in these rosters other than a long snapper or FB so it's pointless to even use hypotheticals as an argument.

Actually I have made players 40 overall by putting awareness, agility, and other ratings at 0 and the players still played as good as much higher rated players. So you really don't even know what ratings do what in madden

I give up on this Troll. This back and forth is a waist of time. Dan, me and many others love what your doing here. Keep up the good work man.

You claim things with no proof. Still haven't answered my question about what you want out of this so you just proving my point that your just arguing to argue.

If you think better gameplay is one with Larry Fitzgerald being a more effective juker than LeSean McCoy, or Clowney being better at regular catching than Steve Smith, then that's your opinion. To most people, that's not better gameplay.

Someone else made the 40 OVR/65 OVR brainwashing comment. I don't understand why you are putting that on me. And you say no testing, I don't need testing to know Steve Smith should be better at catching than Clowney. And agility at 0 not making an impact? One of Dan's reasons for having Clowneys so high was his low agility canceling it out.

Last thing I'm saying. Yes I'm saying that. You clearing don't know how ratings play in a game because you haven't tried it yet. Fitzgerald played just fine. He wasn't juking and jiving everywhere. McCoy plays just as good as he should. You might know these things if you tried and tested actual gameplay instead of just assuming you know.

How? He won't play different from the ratings. A guy with 78 agility and 99 juke will be better at juking than a guy with 81 agility and 92 juke. Ignore names, and think about that.

The guy should be the same OVR at every position no matter what. However, this is not the case. The player is no better at any one thing, yet he has different OVR ratings. The OVR rating for MLB is even different from OLB. Therefore, you can't compare OVR of players at different positions in the game.

SMH. You totally missed the point on #3. The point is that an ILB rated an 80 OVR is theoretically the same caliber of a player as a OLB rated at 80 OVR. The difference in the formulas while changing positions does not matter. You already have qualified one player as being ILB and another as OLB. If they are both an 80, then they should be the same caliber of player despite that their attributes may differ and their formulas for obtaining the OVR differ.
