I doubt there is anyone high up who believes anything is wrong, it still sells.

Thus the cycle we are in with this series. I'm waiting for it to get the attention and respect it deserves.

Revolutionize? SMH. Any data collected from something like this would be unreliable due to different playing conditions, injuries, etc.

The best part is how EA is already in marketing mode, even though they aren't even using yet, lol. Are they really that desperate?

im still expecting the nfl to phase out ea sooner before later anyway. why share the profits when the folks you hired are only doing adquate work? This may be the beginning.

Who cares where they got the values from, as long as a punter is blocking a DT with no problem?

I have little problems with Madden's rating scale. The only thing I can think of is there are too many 90+ players. I would be grateful if Donny Moore was the new 2k Insider. At least he changes stats for all teams and notifies what he changed EVERY WEEK.

Sounds cool, also sounds like reasons for them to add more useless ratings.

You forget the number one reason this data will be useless to Madden....the game relies on animation driven outcomes that's it. There are other reasons this won't help Madden like the poor AI and synchronized quadruple player animations but the numbers the NFL gives Madden will be negated in other ways as well.
