Extra QB Attributes? Opinions

[Zastrin]

In Madden 10, Donny added extra QB attributes like Short Pass Accuracy, Medium Pass Accuracy, Deep Pass Accuracy, Throw on the Run.

I think we need more attributes for the QB Position:

Throw Power (velocity of the pass)
Arm Strength (distance of the pass)
Consistency (can he keep playing the way he does)
Read Coverage (ability to read defenses)
Composure (scrap Awareness and add this)

Throw Power and Arm Strength are basically the same thing, throw power is already in the game anyway. I do agree with adding read coverage to the list and maybe Composure.

Not consistency, because Peyton Manning would be unstoppable. Yeah he's arguably the best QB in the NFL, but even the best sometimes make mistakes and I for one think if this was put into the game, he would play perfect.

I am about to check it again.
I think they are using 5 stars ratings. So I guess 4 out of 5 stars would mean they will scramble 80% of the time

yeah i think composure or something like throw under pressure should be added.

No, not until they make the current ratings work properly!

I'd rather they stripped Madden 13 to the bare minimum number of ratings needed for the game to run and made sure they all worked as intended and could coexist with the locomotion system, collision system etc.

Then you can think about to ways to add complexity. One being additional ratings, another begin tendencies and attributes. I personally would prefer tendencies and attributes with, say, 20 universal ratings rather than 65+ universal ratings that makes it almost near impossible to really distinguish between the players.

NB! I call them universal ratings, because they have to be assigned to all players in Madden regardless of position. In Madden 11 there are approximately 1,500+ spectacular catch ratings (one for each player), but only a small percentage of the players have spectacular catch animations (the ones rated 90+). Wouldn't it have been easier just to assign spectacular catch attributes to the players who deserve it?

Rather than add new attributes for users, they need to add cpu attributes or make individual player tendancies more prevailent.
