Thank God for being able to edit players, so at least it's fixable to the levels one would like.

Maybe we see a huge difference In-game with play recognition, awareness.

Problem is, when talking about Madden, that bar could be reduced almost by half and we'd still have way too many 90+ players :/

That's good to hear. I guess I shouldn't jump to far ahead since I haven't seen all the ratings yet. Lol. I like how this causes debate and discussion.

There are plenty of exceptional players in the NFL that are worth being 90+. Numerous elite players at each position which would quickly balloon the number to what I suppose would be considered "too much."

It's about protection where the QB can't see. Most QBs are right-handed in the NFL. In this case, LT is most important of the two. It's not about where the better rushers are coming from.

He could be a 77... lowest overall is 78 in the top 10. Which would seem, correct. I'm a fellow bucs fan too!

Agreed, and not just because we landed him. Yeah I expect him to have terrible speed, but other than that, everyone knows he's lights out.

# 28 T4VERTS @ 07/20/16 05:57 PM

Remember this is too tiny a sample size to draw any conclusions from. It is 10 guys out of a couple thousand in game. Really, even after all the top 10 position group releases it isn't enough to draw strong conclusions from because your only looking at the top percentage and not the full spread. I get that people are searching for something to talk about, but lets slow down with the freaking out.

That's why I asked about the weight chart.
It will help a lot.

The main thing will be seeing how AWR (modifier) is weighted against ratings.

Sorry, but NO.
Pass blocking is equally important for both positions; it may be the case that you'd always put the best of the two at left tackle to protect the blind side, but that is not the issue here; the issue is: pass blocking is currently a more important trait for a right tackle than run blocking.

I'm glad none of the top 10 are quarterbacks

Plenty of great players in the league, yes. Lots of differences between some or even most of those great players too. And in Madden, once you are 90 there is too small of a difference in gameplay whether you are a 91 or a 97.

Anyways, better to wait it out but not a good first impression of the spread out ratings imo

For those who are about "Gameplay", this is so important in understanding.

Spreading out to the lowest threshold levels along the 0-99 scale to achieve the greatest player difference.

At least why I chimed in on the discussion.

Ayyyeee Hunter Henry and Bosa are top rated. Day 1 Franchise should be fun.

Bosa, Perryman, Verrett, Ingram

Allen, Henry, Gordon (?)

We winning superbowl!!!!! In Madden at least.

H. Henry is gonna be a super beast in this game

# 36 The JareBear @ 07/20/16 06:43 PM

Only rating they show of Paxton is 79 speed. Really curious what they gave his arm strength

# 37 Cowboy008 @ 07/20/16 07:06 PM

The screenshots look pretty good

Not true. Left tackles get paid way more for a reason. It's not an accident they're protecting what the QB can't see. Your best pass blocking OT will be on the left side with a right handed QB. RT and RG are generally the "power side" with increased run blocking.

Sorry but you are living in the past, there is a reason why teams are starting to draft RT higher and higher in the 1st round. Ereck Flowers (before Beatty injury), D.J. Fluker, and most recently Jack Conklin.

And again, you are missing the point, nobody is discussing which is more important between left and right tackle. The point is what is the most valuable attribute for a right tackle in the current NFL, and that is clearly pass blocking. The decrease in running throughout the NFL and the rise in elite rushers from the line's right side dictate so.

And what does money have to do with OVR rating calculation?

# 40 bspring3 @ 07/20/16 07:55 PM

Everyone needs to remember that you can go in and set your own positional schemes so that overall is calculated how you want for that position I.e. Pass blocker, run blocker, balanced, etc

Unless they took that out this year
