I can say it because I don't place my own bias into it and go strictly off of the data. THAT in itself gives me the right to be fair and objective. I have eliminated as many flaws as me and my team can think of by making everything data driven.

Based on the data, I am sitting here and saying that today, Brandon Marshall is a better overall player. Until the data says otherwise, I will stand by it.

And this is why going simply off data is 100% the wrong way to do it. You have to factor in the obvious common sense at times, and the eye test. Honestly your ratings are much more realistic, and a better way of doing it than Madden, but clearly its not close to being perfect either.

I trust the scouts' eyes more than my own.

So whats your suggestion? The way he does it is better than anything thats come out. How would you improve it based on something other than opinion? Bring criticism with a solution.

Play nice guys....



I can't wait to turn L Green into a monster in my Chargers franchise. Should be one of the faster TEs! This got me excited.

If you're going to have anything to do with this video game in the future, I sincerely hope you don't believe this.

Do you really not see the flaw in "making everything data driven"? We're talking about the sport with the most moving parts and variables in the world. Each player is impacted by the other 21 players on the field. The ultimate test is the eyeball, and any scout would tell you that. So if you can't even explain your ratings with anything more than data, they shouldn't be taken seriously.

Well, you're clearly just ignoring me now. I tried to understand your system at first so that I could support it, and now I'm trying to offer some constructive criticism and you're just being short and rude. I love your ideas about how to separate the weak, from the average, from the great, but you're actual ratings simply don't match what happens on the field. If you want to take your ideas to the next level, and have them used by "professionals" you should be able to stand by them and explain them without getting defensive.

I officially won't be signing your petition, and will be hoping someone with a bit more football knowledge takes some of the great idea's you seem unwilling improve upon, and does just that.

Not every player is a hardcore madden player like on this forum. There has to be a compromise.

But if Gronk is the highest rated TE in the game, at 82, and the bottom of the top 5 is a 68... He's not rated low. Lol. Plus, the community conforms to the game, not the other way around.

If Madden reimagined ratings, and followed the same fbg rating for the next 10 years, it would be forgotten.

Well what if my favorite player is Terrell Pryor, we should bump him 20 overall to make him appeal to me more? Again, causals aren't gawking to find overalls. They grab the game because football sounds fun, not because Big Ben is a 94 overall or whatever.

Again, don't market the ratings, market the games
