FBGRatings Seeks to Recalibrate Madden Ratings, Change Game

02:46 PM - January 24, 2011 by RaychelSnr

I recentely sat down for a talk with FBGRatings.com's Dan Berens to discuss his site's vision and what's going on over there today. The site is currently working on getting accurate ratings for every player using real hard data converted into the Madden ratings universe. Dan claims that when these numbers are plugged into the game, it plays much better and much closer to real life. Check out the interview below and also check out Dan's website to see what he's got going on!

The only way I can think of is swapping the file using USB. I'm not sure of any other option..

Not as of yet. Just doing calculations and getting the rosters all updated. Takes time. No major changes until week 8.

sounds like around week 8 now and probably not week 1-2 anymore for the new scouting data? i understand, take your time. i can only imagine the time commitment this takes...

I said all along that week 8 was the target unless all of the OVR calculations did not change. If they did not change they would have been up yesterday. However, since EA changed the OVR calcs, I have to wait until I get all of them figured out. I am not buying the game so I am doing it while renting. It's a slow process.

Unless you rate all of the players like they are rated in FBG, the ones you change won't be comparable to the ones that EA provides.

Because I rate players differently from EA. So if you use players with my ratings and then get the draft classes, the players from the draft classes will be rated differently.

I don't have one from this year. Those are very old sheets from a different system.

I used yours for caps and tweaked somethings if they were ridiculous

I have used them and mine and they sit fine in the pack OVR wise and their abilities are similar.

many players I have done comparing stock to your work and your work is brilliant but I swear Donny copy's you. People like Greg Jones, Cory Greenwood ? I believe Ive spent atleast 2-5 hours a day since 9/3 getting these rosters worked out , many TE's & RB's have close range in attributes.

He does. I know that he does. Back when the site was membership only, he was a member. It has been like this since around Madden 04 or so. What we used to find is that many of the new players would have the EXACT attributes except for like to or 3 out of the 25 on the old gen. Seems like this is still the case.

When I update the site, it goes down. I was updating this morning, so it was down. It is back up with significant updates. Players are now on IR/PUP/SUS and Practice Squads.
