Come on man, get that crap outta here and use some critical thinking skills.

Like I initially said when I first saw it I FELT it was run by salty fans and that's a feeling doesn't require tangible proof. I FELT that way because I seen 55 QBs rated better than Eli Manning. Wasn't taking his injury into consideration because he no longer injured. I've gotten use to "anti-Eli-ism" and I say that I jokingly, but I highly doubt there are 55 QBs rated higher than he is legitimately. Seriously Pat Devlin? I like what you guys are trying to do but I just felt like it's not taking into consideration intangibles, talent levels and what is asked of a player. For a video game that is rating based it tilts the game in favor to Pat Devlin starting over him if they end up on the same team. That's my issue with the roster ratings logic you're using. It's not good for CFM.

^ When a player is a 10 year vet, leads the league in Interceptions, and finishes with the second worst passer rating among all starting QBs, I am inclined to believe that there very well could be 55 QBs better than that player. Maybe more.

I only update players when the source data changes. Consider that any updates will be because the scouts feel an update to a player is necessary and not because a Giants homer is complaining about his teams ratings.

The logic is sound. If you are hurt, your attributes are affected. If your attributes are affected negatively, your OVR (linked directly to the attribute values) is also affected negatively. I believe that is the "Transitive Property". Once Eli is back to 100%, his ratings will reflect that. No sooner, no later.

if someone disagrees with the ratings of certain players, they can always change them to their liking.

Ding, ding, ding! We have a winner! Lol I can't understand why guys act like ratings are set in stone.

Y'all still talking about me huh... No homer sugar honey ice tea at all I just pointed out a flaw in the rating system using a team I'm familiar with... From that assessment I predict that there are other flaws within the other 31 teams too. Basing your ratings off practice is also a flawed theory. Where you get different levels of effort from players who are on the bubble versus someone who knows they are a starter. Like I said before I like what you're attempting I just see flaws in it. Maybe it's only good for play now mode. I think about it from a CFM when all the incoming rookies are going to be rated higher than the vets. Anyway when you see Brewer and you're tweaking his ratings just think of how right "the homer" was.

I think the elephant in the room is how much do attributes actually matter.

How much differential in attributes is needed to really make a Madden player preform to any noticeable difference than another. Does a player with 75 blockshed really preform better than an 80 blockshed? What ratings actually even matter and to what positions?

Does the minutia of ratings really matter in Madden?
