FBGRatings Seeks to Recalibrate Madden Ratings, Change Game

[dragonmonkeyface]

I decided to use these rosters and so far I enjoy them quite a bit ( I've completed two teams so far ) but I feel like something is missing. Does anyone have a good slider set recommendation to use with these ratings I've searched the sliders forum but I've had no luck

i was going to give it a chance...then I looked at the site and randomly viewed 2 players. So arian foster's strength is a 70 but rob gronkowski's strength is a 63 huh? Scurrrrrrrrrr!!


Nosir...I don't like it

Depends how strength is used by each position, but in each player's combine, they both benched 23 reps...so If anything, they should have equal strength...

You do realize that Foster squats and cleans more than Gronk too, don't you? Every ratings is data driven. I do not pull numbers out of thin air.

The STR rating is based upon the 1RM for all players' bench, squat, and clean.

Data driven is good, but do you know for sure how Madden calculates the numbers, and is it even possible to get a true strength in madden, represented?

I believe it's already impossible for madden to represent Speed and acceleration accurately to real life numbers?

Actually 2 of my main concerns is "Awareness" and "Play Recognition." From what I understand the offense uses Awareness more, and defense uses play recognition...I am wondering if there is a cut off where it is just too low for any player in madden to the point that they are messing up the most basic of plays; such as just blocking the nearest defender?

It doesn't really matter how EA determines a player's STR in Madden. What we do at FBG is rate players' attributes the same way scouts would rate them in real life. The only difference is that we then convert the scouting data into Madden numbers.

Madden does not accurately represent Speed and Acceleration in the game (see my thread). However, FBG Ratings still rates players as if Madden did.

Think of FBG Ratings as the real-world way of rating Madden players assuming that the game functions as it would in the real world. All we care about is the data and the numbers, not necessarily how they perform in game. That is up to EA to fix, not us.

There is a huge difference between weight room and football field...do you really think foster plays with more strength than gronk? I understand the premise for this roster, as it is why I was intrigued, but football is not a math equation where A=B. Your system is like the old BCS system lol
