Keep in mind that even if he jumps up 10 points once the medical holds are removed, that will put him back in the top 15. Just 2 weeks ago he was at a 55 OVR, so in two weeks he has already jumped up 8 points. Based on what he has done this far in camp, he should only go up higher as his situation improves (if it improves). You must be patient. Changes like this don't happen overnight, even if the website is updated that quickly. It is a gradual progression.

I can dig bro. Im bout to download these ratings tonight and give'em a spin

This is all fact. This is why when I saw it I felt like FBG was just another bunch of salty Packer/Patriot fans tweaking Madden ratings to their liking.

That's still quite an assumption, insinuating fraudulent work. I still think it's best for you to at least try. I'll admit I was a skeptic. I tried them in play now, and I think it's great.

Also what about your data made McBride so lowly rated? Schwartz isn't in a battle with Brewer either. Brewer is in a battle to even make the roster. I mean look him up on PFF it might help, Schwartz' ranked highly there. I just don't see how you're really taking into consideration actual talent. Eli Manning is definitely not hurt either. I'd be willing to be a trip to Monte Carlo that Brewer doesn't starts over Schwartz or much less even makes the roster.

According to the data, he doesn't. Pro Bowls are glorified popularity contests largely based on uneducated perception, conjecture, and statistics...not real data. The data made me rate McBride "so low". He hasn't done anything except get buried at 5th on the depth chart at RCB. In fact, that would put him at the 9th or 10th best CB on the team according to the depth chart. He is also coming off of a season marred by a pretty nagging groin injury. Consider the fact that he is rated as the 5th best CB on his team knowing that he is buried so far down to be a blessing for now...until he doesn't make the team.

And don't get me started on PFF. They don't rate traits and abilities like Madden uses in the game. They simply rate the net outcome of every play and grade what happened. They state this in their FAQ section. Schwartz didn't do much last year. He had 7 starts. In fact, the Chiefs weren't even willing to pay him starter money, which is why he signed with the Giants, who are pretty desperate for OL at this point. Nothing about this really screams "starter quality", especially when his competition is a year younger and more athletic.

As for his competition with Brewer, we have to see what happens. Ratings go up when consistent change has occurred at the scouts' discretion. I control none of this, I only interpret and report the data. Like I said in my earlier post, if he proves to have beaten out a higher rated player and does consistently better than his current rating, he will go up. Until that happens, however, I cannot justify bumping anyone up, especially at the request of a self-admitted Giants fan who is most likely upset that his favorite players are rated so low.

I'll give them a try it looks so interesting and believe me I actually appreciate the attempt to tone the game down some but seriously I see some conflicting data. If you're taking injury into consideration why would Rueban Randle who is healthy be rated lower than Manningham who is hurt and fighting just to make a roster. You guys should consult me in regards to the Giants lol. The depth chart is wrong and I know some of these ratings need a little tweaking.

I sure hope you have some proof to back your incorrect assumption that the site is run by salty Packer/Patriot fans. If I wanted to tweak this stuff to my liking, don't you think I would have more players rated in the 80s and 90s than just 3? Wouldn't Aaron Rodgers be a 99? Come on man, get that crap outta here and use some critical thinking skills.

Read our FAQ section that I linked earlier. Fans are the LAST people we would ever consider consultation from. I even stress to the roster creators/testers to be as unbiased as possible, and I only trust their input because I can trust their honest opinions based on what they produce on the forums.

Lol I was joking as far as the consulting thing goes. I wouldn't. I am being unbiased when I tell you that your ratings are warped. The proof in this will be when YOU have to update them...
