They don't take the time to actually see how the game plays with these ratings and how much better and more realistic the game becomes. I honestly think that if Dan's system was in place, while it would be met with a lot of criticism from people like this at first, once they actually play the game and get used to it, everyone will be happy. And after a few years of the improved rating system, people will look back and laugh at the "old days" when there were tons of players rated in the 90s. As you said, what's the point of having a 0-100 scale if you only use 80-100? Come on, EA...do the right thing!

You know the real funny thing about this is that I am just interpolating the scouting data. I am NOT rating these players. An NFL front office has scouts who are rating the players with this much of a gap. My bias is not included. If people understood that professional scouts who work for an NFL front office are saying that this is how players should be rated, would that change their minds?

If I am brought in to do these ratings, I would simply ignore people who are ignorant to the facts.

It is really, really, really hard to take something like this seriously when you end a sentence with...

This notion that anyone can accurately decrypt 2000 players into 50 ratings categories is ridiculous. An NFL scout couldn't give a breakdown to the precise number. The madden Ratings scale has been in existence for decades. Also a 99 is just a 99 for this particular title, it doesn't mean they are supposing that Aaron Rodgers is the GOAT. He certainly is however the best QB today, probably the best player in the NFL, hence his rating. We do not need Dan, EA has done just fine. And lastly, if u don't like EA's ratings, they allow u to EDIT!!! But if u think these FGB ratings are more accurate than EA, clearly u are just drinking the kool-aid. After seeing his top 5 QB's, u can take his rosters and put them in the toilet.

I can never understand the Tony Romo hate. The guy is one of the best QB's in the league but for years had the misfortune of playing with some of the worst defenses in the NFL. I used to always laugh when the Cowboys would lose 54-48 (or whatever it was) and all the blame would be on Romo for throwing a late game INT. No one would even mention the defense giving up 50. The guy has averaged almost 4000 yards and 28 TD's a season for his career (when adjusting for him only playing 6 games in 2010). Not many guys in the NFL can say that. I don't think he is a top 5 QB but I respect the hell out of the guy and think he is a lot better than people give him credit for.

His ratings allow for the game to play more accurately to the real NFL. You should actually try them before you talk crap about them. And JJ Watt is the best player in the NFL.

No one's debating if EA can do it accurately, it just gets boring having the numbers for all these guys not mean anything at the end of the day. The actual on product gameplay is what matters, and it's quite clear that for people who want a simulation experience while having and enjoyable one as well are huge fans of the FGB ratings. It's this kind of thinking that EA doesn't need help that leads to micro-changes through a whole year's cycle.

Yeah, except it's not. Aaron Rodgers had 3 bad regular season games, Romo only had 2. Romo statistically had a better playoff season as well: higher completion percentage, better QB rating, no INT's.

Aaron Rodgers wasn't even the best player in football to begin with. JJ Watt was, and had the Texans made the playoffs Watt would've been the NFL MVP.

Add that to Romo's case.
