Only thing that went up on Randle was his spectacular catch (for that effortless one hander he had).

Yea I was thinking about when his speed was 83 or 84 in the original rosters. I was mistaken

That had to have been an oversight in the first place. IMO Randle is an 87 speed, 89 agility, 88 Acceleration. Not nearly as fast as McFadden at top speed or getting there.

I dont like it either....one week ratings just isnt a large enough sample size. Its idiotic to raise a guy one week and lower him the next just to give him the same rating he had to begin with. (and knowing EA's infamous attention to detail undeserving guys will get incorrect ratings and it wont ever be fixed)

rating every 4 weeks is a much better idea. Then its based on actual trends and a much better window of production/performance. Thats 4 during the regular season..update rosters with equipment/depth chart changes, and new players weekly (and take players on IR off the roster entirely)...but weekly ratings changes are too knee-jerk IMO.

Pretty much nailed it.

I wish EA would take an authentic approach to player development and regression, but sadly I understand that Madden's market isn't always concerned with absolute realism. People like this stuff.

My sentiments exactly. I'm not a fan of the weekly update and think it's based way too much on NFL Red Zone, ESPN highlights, social media, etc. I had hoped these weekly knee-jerk reactions would come to an end since Donny Moore has departed, but that was probably foolish (wishful) thinking on my part.

A couple years back I read a blog by Madden Manniac where he tracked the weekly roster updates throughout the year. The link is below, should anyone be interested in reading it.

I'd like needed ratings adjustments made on a weekly basis (example: Joe Randle made an effortless one handed catch yet had a 40 something spectacular catch).

Also injuries and transactions.

Annoying that injuries aren't enforced online....
