[Steve_OS]

Voting has begun to determine which QB deserves the highest awareness rating in Madden NFL 13. Tomorrow, we'll see the ratings for the rest of the quarterbacks.

This campaign allows fans to vote on attributes like speed, elusiveness, hit power and more. The winner of each vote will be the highest-rated player for that attribute at their position in Madden NFL 13.

Upcoming weeks will focus on running backs, wide receivers and defenders, with the winners in each category announced every Friday. Here is the voting schedule breakdown:

• July 30 – Aug 3: Quarterbacks – Speed, Throw Power, Throw Accuracy, Awareness
• Aug 6 – 10: Running Backs – Speed, Acceleration, Trucking, Elusiveness
• Aug 13 – 17: Wide Receivers & Tight Ends – Speed, Spectacular Catch, Route Running, Agility
• Aug 20 – 24: Defense – Speed, Hit Power, Tackling, Man Coverage
• Aug 24: Offensive Line, Special Teams and Overall Team Ratings

Not only will each winner receive a boost in their attributes in Madden NFL 13, but they’ll also be immortalized with a special card in Madden Ultimate Team. Fans who collect the cards of every winning player will be able to add them to a collection which will unlock a special Madden Ultimate Team reward in Madden NFL 13.

45 TDs
6 Interceptions

There is no one else in all of football who is more "aware" than that

Tom Brady, the man with the greatest pocket awareness of all times says otherwise.

[CaptianBackwoods]

Tom Brady.

Just to add to the discussion -- I'm not sure how EA calculates it, but I would think that awareness for a QB would be a combination of pocket presence, ability to diagnose and beat pressure, and protecting the football.

PFF has the pressure state broken down by categories, then by an overall grade for 2011:

TOP 3 QBs Avoiding Sacks
Eli Manning
Michael Vick
Drew Brees

TD to INT ratio under pressure
Aaron Rodgers 4:0
Andy Dalton 4:0
Sam Bradford 2:0

^now this one is kind of a funny result, but I can see how they got there because int's are so weighted. These three graded out highest because they they zero INTs. Here's the next three on that list.

Tom Brady - 8:2
Drew Brees - 10:3
Ben Roethlisberger - 6:2

Completion % Under Pressure
Drew Brees
Tony Romo
Jay Cutler

Highest Overall Grade Against Pressure
Eli Manning
Drew Brees
Cam Newton

next two were
Aaron Rodgers
Tom Brady

Now I'm surprised to see Cam graded out so high, but it had more to do with him seeing more overall pressure than Rodgers and Brady. Both best Cam in TD/INT ratio, but Cam did have a higher comp % under pressure than Rodgers and was sacked less than either, which ties into the forumla. Not sure I totally buy it, but it's something to think about. Maybe EA should tick up Cam's awareness a bit.
