Interesting read...
Hopefully, they take a long hard look at AWR and not only tighten the range, but make it possible for rookies to get significanly "smarter" as their career progresses...
Same thing for STR on the OL and DL...
Too wide a range leads to difficulty balancing the pancakes vs. the block shedding...
Thanks for posting this!

I don't know why, but I have this strange feeling of contempt for Donny Moore. Just reading his words irks me.
Like comparing Ingram to Ricky Williams and then tweaking that template? That seems like a shortcut way of doing ratings.
But, maybe I just hate him because I'm a Redskins fan and we've been terrible for a while

They should re-do the ratings system ala AP2K8. Mark Ingram is actually an Emmitt Smith type and his speed is pretty deceptive. The way that is incorporated into the game should be shown as such. Some RBs like Mendenhal don't run fast from the start like CJ2K, but rather get a head of steam going and turn on the burners....either way it should be interesting to see what they come up with.

When I saw that pic I thought the interview was going to be about M12 adding scouting combine.

Hopefully the 'new ratings' is a hint hopefully. im sick of the computer playing god!
Outside of rookies having ridiculously low awareness that never improves, the ratings in Madden are pretty well done.
The problem in Madden is that there are too many rating categories (40+) when only 5 or 6 of them really matter.

Well, we know this area is not going to change.
It also sounds like the Open Editor discussion by Ian was something to generate conversation about the game and not a serious attempt to include.
I know there's little they can do to this game because the Engine is Maxed Out. So nothing major is going to happen to M12, that's just foolish wishing.
How about a In-Game Global Editor?
The first thing people do is adjust ratings, because Donny's perception of what a players rating should be is different from gamer to gamer.
Editing one player at a time for 32 Teams plus FA is very consuming.
And it's all in an effort to make the current Ratings System mean something on the field.
Outside of Speed, for the 4th year, there is little difference between a 12 rating and a 99 rating.
This is what so many have been complaining about, and to hear that the same format of slapping a rating on a guy verifies it is, what it is.
So now what's left is Visual, Presentation and Animation Upgrades.
What harm would Threshold Sliders for main ratings do at this stage of the game for the Madden Series?
What good is Scouting if the only rating that has an impact during gameplay is Speed?
Sorry to be so sour, but I'm one of those looking for ways to Hex Edit the roster file becuause what we are given is just garbage.

i agree they should only have certain ratings for certain players qb's dont need ol blocking etc same goes for other players.
"To quickly walk through the process: I’ll take a guy like Mark Ingram or Blaine Gabbert and I’ll find what everyone perceives is his best NFL comparison. Just to throw an example out there let's say Mark Ingram’s baseline equivalent is Ricky Williams. I’ll take Ricky Williams and utilize him as a template. I’ll know right away that the Mark Ingram player I’m creating is in a similar mold as a Ricky Williams. From there, obviously, I’m tweaking each individual rating to how Ingram plays. It’s just a starting point to give me a template for a player and how he plays."
This right here is why the ratings system presented by the folks at EA is broken. They are using templates that may or may not correlate to new players in draft classes. Why not just make a player like Mark Ingram a MARK INGRAM instead of a modified Ricky Williams. Was DJ Shockley based off of Michael Vick because he was a scrambling QB with size? Of course not! What they need to be doing is making these players total individuals who are independent from one another. If I can do it in my spare time for my site, then I would think that some guys who are professionally paid to do this could do it as well. Sheesh...

. Still, as someone who never really used scouting in Madden for years, the system needs a revamp. The only problem would be with the large draft classes in Madden, not many would want to sit through each players workout. If you got a summary of each position, like 40 times, Throwing drills, etc. Then that would be kind of cool to use for the draft. Like DCEBB2001 mentioned above, you have no real connection to these drafted players, they have no personality. Maybe have an Extra Point like bit talking about who impressed at the Combine. I have to reel in my imagination when it comes to Madden

Good post bro. Every player has their own style. I sure don't want a player like Polamalu getting a template from whoever, because there is no one that plays quite like him.
Madden needs Tendencies. Almost every sports game has a type of tendencies. Ratings only take you so far. It is the only thing that differenciates players. I understand starting people off with similar player's template. But if that is the only thing that makes play different, then tendencies are needed.

On a side note, I really really wish they'd put the pertinent category info relevant to the player first so I don't have to scroll through all the non-pertinent info. If I want to see a kickers accuracy and power, why should I have to scroll through all the other categories that don't matter? Please just copy Madden 08 for the pc.
Let's see...
'06, then '07, then '08, then '09, then '10, then '11, now '12.
I was reading gamer replies, and then I had this thought of feeling like a "Sucka"!!!
We know they can't/won't change their Rating System because it's built on a Maxed Out Game Engine, yet here we are doing it for a 6th year.
Stirring up their Marketing Soup knowing that after 6 years of addressing this same flawed system, nothing will change.
Ratings produce the single most complaints post than any other issues about the game. Yet, here we are Again!!!
We call it "Stirring the Soup".
As long as they are talking about the product, even if negative, it will stir up their curiosity to "Purchase" to see if what they complained about has changed any.
Notice the things that are put out to the community.
It's not things that will make you say "OMG or Wow", finally.
But, stuff that make you say "What and/or This"!!!
They know the Hot Buttons of the community to get us to talk.
Including Surprise Onside-Kick with so many issues still unaddressed. Anything dealing with Ratings will elevate the blood pressure to talk/rant.
Why do an interview about the same exact system you've been using since the '06 realease? What is the communication purpose of this?
It will still function the same during gameplay in M12 as it did then in M06.
But it's not "Too Early" to talk about this piece of the game that has nothing new about it.
Remember "What and/or This"?

I too, will co sign to this...

Also rating specific moves. I shouldn't be able to move a punter to LT and have him perform techinques that take years to learn. Likewise a 2nd string LT shouldn't have the same techinque as a future HOF'er.
