I don't understand why players ratings would go down if they have been injured. Jamaal Charles has been out most of the year and his ratings were decreased.

Still no Tracy Porter update , F This

Plus Crom has been one of the worst DBs this year but he gets a boost over Tracy Porter whose been one of the best cover corners this season .

No way Winston is a 90 that's way to high for him.. 90 and above should be considered elite status..Winston to me is about a solid 79...

# 5 B_T_33 @ 12/11/15 01:32 AM

I don't know how you come up with 79..... you must be oblivious to how he's been performing this season. And if you think he is a solid 79.. then that would make came newton around the same overall rating. Especially when you can draft a rookie qb in the off season in the mid 80s with super star dev trait. It's kinda bs..

They need to make up their mind on Talib. It's like every week hes down or up

# 7 Mogglez @ 12/11/15 04:05 AM

-5 to Revis....for having a concussion?

According to this game the Jets are worse than a 3 win Titan team. Well then.

I must be the only one having a weird issue with the download, it saves as a mut roster and not only that no one is on IR, what the heck.

The real issue with these rosters is that in cfm the alot of players consistancey drops from 65 to as low as 5 in cfm, it's a joke if you ask me.

They having a issue with the IR in cfm seems like its been that way past few maddens .. That's why they took everybody off IR.. If u have more then 8 guys injuried if another gets injuried he stays in the game and it doesn't register him as being injuried.

Now as far as these updates I still say they need to be monthly not weekly this going up one point only to drop a point next week makes no sense.

Also i don't get how or why players who are injuried and not playing get points taken away? Same can be said with players who sign with other teams I've seen them take point decreases as well... Never new a player losing points just because of this.l

The 15th ranked QB in the league is a 97? I guess Mariota and Hoyer are waiting on their 100 ratings.

# 12 JohnnyCash2015 @ 12/11/15 07:54 PM

These ratings are ridiculous, Aaron Donald a 99? He's a 2nd year player. Then Beckham should get a 99 too. This is silly.

Newton a 97? These overly high overalls are laughable

See: Mark Sanchez.

P.S. You cant let a partial season determine anything

I agree with that, but that's what ea is doing every week with roster updates.

Brock's play fake is really good. He gets the camera guy every week on play action, his PA rating deserves a big bump

# 16 ggsimmonds @ 12/14/15 10:34 PM

Looks like we will not see a change in the ratings philosophy anytime soon.

# 17 Sheba2011 @ 12/15/15 11:23 AM

They are making Cam Newton into something he is not, a great QB. Don't get me wrong he is one of the most dangerous weapons in the game and is a frontrunner for the MVP, but that is because of what he does to extend a play. 16th in the NFL in passing yards and 28th in completion % is not a 97 OVR QB with 88 accuracy.

His arm strength deserves to go down though. One of the biggest myths in football is the "Big QB, Big arm" assumption.

Obviously yards have nothing to do with his performance - he's in a run heavy offense. As far as accuracy, you can't cite completion percentage, there's an obvious bias in the stat for short passers and conservative offenses in general, which Cam is not in. Also he's probably been in the top 5 for best players for the past 6 weeks now. 97 is fair, especially with how well he's been grading in PFF's system (which madden uses to some extent) and the MVP likely coming his way

I am not sure who determines this top 5 for best players as each week you could pick one of about a dozen guys to receive that honor. You can't cite completion percentage for accuracy?? That is the whole point of completion percentage, it is a measure of a QB's accuracy. The only bias it has, is towards QB's who can complete passes. Let's compare him to the other 4 QB's from the top 5 rushing teams in the NFL, all teams that run a gameplan very similar to Carolina:

1. R. Wilson - 68.8%
2. T. Birdgewater - 65.3%
3. T. Taylor - 63.5%
4. J. Winston - 58.4%

Cam is a tremendous all around a weapon, but as an actual QB he is middle of the pack.
