They most likely tuned it to so 95 dac is last years 80

I'll believe it when I play it

Glad ratings are lower, the problem is where will they be after the first 2 roster updates? In the past everyone that's having ONE good season has shot up to the 90s

I'll put this here because it's relevant.

Diego Miranda ‏@DiegoMB27 @Equipment_Guru See, now we're talking with these OVR! But why has TAD been bumped up to the 90's again? Thought it was lowered since M16

Quote:

Shooter McGavin ‏@Equipment_Guru @DiegoMB27 we made it properly match our other accuracy ratings

Quote:

Diego Miranda ‏@DiegoMB27 @Equipment_Guru So it will not result in 90+% laser-accurate deep throws all the time, or how does this adjustment work in game?

Quote:

Shooter McGavin ‏@Equipment_Guru @DiegoMB27 we gameplay adjusted and scaled it to the rating increase, it will still basically be the same as last year

So there it is, but of course the proof is in the pudding.

Yeah, I popped all their numbers into M16 and all three were a 99. Makes me wonder what it would take for a QB to be a 99 in M17 because these guys numbers are jacked and they're not too close. If I had to take a guess, I'd say that all the passing attributes are weighted fairly evenly so anything they don't do as well (Brady Throw On Run) dips the overall. And maybe to be a 99 you basically have to be 99 in all of them or something.

SS, did you listen to this interview about a week ago or so?

Start listening at the 10:30 mark.

Brady is the best quarterback in the league in the way that Peyton Manning was the best QB in the league last year: reputation and past accomplishments. Brady is still a great QB, but he's not the best. Aaron Rodgers has been the best for years now. Russell Wilson, Ben Roethlisberger and Cam Newton all belong in Brady's air space in terms of being in the upper echelon of great QBs along with Drew Brees and Philip Rivers.

Rivers is a great player but Dalton was putting up MVP type numbers last year before he was injured.

I'm lost on your Brady comparison. He was an elite QB last year based on performance, not reputation. Manning was straight garbage last year and wasn't ever thought of as "great" during any stretch.

Cam had a great year but I don't get all the love he's getting. He played a soft schedule and folded in the Super Bowl when he faced his first adversity of the year. Until he can come up in clutch moments, I think you have to put him below Brady, Ben and Rodgers.

With that said, Cam should be the most dominant QB to play with in Madden.
