When will Madden get the ratings right?

IMO their ratings are horrible and after reading this http://tinyurl.com/9mqyfv9 and this http://tinyurl.com/74xvdqn i'm ready for a consistent, stats oriented rating system with a team instead of one person. Donnie Moore has screwed up the ratings for too long its time for change in the next gen.

Funny thread where a lot of OS posters lost credibility defending Peyton Hillis 91 in M12. http://www.operationsports.com/forum...aste-test.html

I'm a Giants fan but to me the only guys rated 90 on the squad should be Eli and Snee. too many players rated 90+ in Madden nowadays who had one good year.

Thank you for joining the 'ratings army'.

We are here to bang the drum for scaled ratings until we actually see them!

With Madden Share this year it would be easier than ever to get community made ratings. I'm all for helping to contribute to the cause but it would need to be a group effort of at least 8 people, theres simply too many players and ratings for one guy (*cough*) to do.

glad to hear about you guys doing ratings. Do you know if we'll be able to use them online in our communities?

Getting ratings right is ALL an opinion, thus to answer your question never. Madden will never be able to put out a roster full of ratings that everybody approves of.

People will ALWAYS complain about something.

It's not that easy to provide extremely accurate ratings for every single player in the NFL. To do that, you need to consistently watch every single team in the league, unless you have a team or something but even then to get 32 individuals who aren't homers and religiously follow each team is not easy to find.

+1 to accurate and consistent ratings.

Donnie Moore might be the #1 reason I dont play Madden anymore. Too many knee-jerk ratings based on silly stuff like one play/one big year or Jerome Simpson flipping over a guy for a TD and all of a sudden getting a 99 Jump rating...what? Rate what guys consistently do, not what they've done ONCE. The result good players too good and players rated less than 80 are horrible. Why use a 0-99 scale if only players rated 85+ can contribute?

Krisxsong, EA has the resources for a team like you mention but refuses to do it.

Ratings for active players should not exceed 96, and it should take consistently elite play to get a 90. AP isnt a 90 because he had a good couple of games, its because he gives you 1400+ yards every year an ACL doesn't stop him....and even when it does, he comes back and rushes for 2,000.

Exactly no way all users will agree with anything they do. The only answer is to let us edit them at all times and give us an option to turn off any systme hindering that ie XP, but it is impossible for them to get it 'right' out of the box as described here.
