MLB Bobby Wagner's solo tackle total is 67 for the season. MLB Buchanan of Cards has 93 solo tackles. So who has the higher tackle rating? Wagner with 92 and Buchanan with 82. HP is another interesting statistic between the two, Wagner rated 95 and Buchanan 92. However, Buchanan has more FF 3-2. Sacks: Wagner 0.5 and Buchanan 3. Interceptions: Wagner 0 and Buchanan 1. Yet, Buchanan is rated a low 78 OVL. I fail to see a point of roster updates when players are not updated correctly.

Updates have literally nothing to do with stats, especially at this point in the season, the updates after the season ends are just to pump up the playoff teams. The first update of the season is usually the best as teams aren't all pumped up to generate a good record.

Using stats to rate players is ridiculous. Especially when comparing two players that perform nothing alike. And stats that aren't that far off either, one more FF/INT? Come on.

Tackles, solo tackles is quite a difference--and they are both MLBs.

How else are you going to compare tackle rating? Buchanan has 93 solo tackles to Wagner's 67. Wagner has a tackle rating of 92 and Buchanan has 82.

by doing what the current guy does and using sites like PFF in conjunction with personal film study to rate player performance. And the tackle rating is more for the surety of the tackle than getting to the ball carrier, if Buchanan makes 93 tackles but missed 20 then he doesn't deserve a high rating in tackle.

We are talking about ratings for this game? 93 solo tackles says more than 67 solo tackles for how they rate any game.

One thing I have noticed over the last few weeks is that there has been dramatic changes to the player ratings that looks like a rebalancing of the rosters. However, there is never a mention of the rebalancing for the existing free agent pool so that when you create a new CFM there are certain positions with more highly rated free agents, e.g. FB or P especially!
