Brandon Marshall should be the second rated WR.

No he shouldn't.

I'm not sure if Andre Johnson is still worthy of a 97 ovr. Maybe a 95.

Seeing Megatron and Adrian Peterson as the only 99ovrs on offense is refreshing since those are the only two that deserve that rating this year.

Seems plausible.

I remember when one of my QBs went down (I think it was Schumacher, 99 THP) and I went with Colt McCoy.

If I threw a deep out with McCoy, the defender had much more time to react and make a play than when I had Schumacher in (the ball was like a rocket).

So, to me, it plays out. As far as weather - I don't get a lot of weather in my Oakland CCM, but rain I know has always done weird stuff to games (sometimes fumble fests, etc).

Yeah fumbles, bad throws and drops go way up in the rain/snow. Vets used a lower wr catch slider than default and playing league games in the rain was just brutal at times.

I did not know short was anything under 20 yards; I thought it was more like 10 or 15. And the threshold for deep is 40 yards? Well damn

# 29 Rezzo503 @ 08/15/13 09:27 PM

Yea, I wonder if it means 40 yards as in from the line of scrimmage ...

Or from where the QB Throws from. Because from Shotgun, After The Drop Back... A First Down is About 20 Yards.

So I wonder. lol

Thriller Spiller with the top elusiveness rating! Much deserved!! Pro Football Focus outlines his ability to force missed tackles at a neck-breaking pace:

Yeah, the short yardage threshold surprises me too. I was sure it wasn't anything more than 10.

We definitely need more "The Science of..." articles for each position explaining what the ratings mean. As well as the traits.

Aj green a 90 speed? IM DONE WITH THIS BS. ARE YOU KIDDING ME MAN. THEY MUST HAVE NEVER WATCHED HIM PLAY. WHAT A JOKE. HE RUNS BY DAMN NEAR EVERY CORNER WITH EASE

# 35 ggsimmonds @ 08/16/13 12:56 AM

This reminds me of how much I hate the awareness rating.
Why does it affect trajectory? Isn't trajectory like putting the right amount of touch on the ball? And if so shouldn't that fall under THA?

Then you got guys like Big Ben who are bad at picking up pressure but good at the other awareness aspects. So what should his awareness be? I don't like having one rating affect multiple things. Also the article said here are few things it affects, so was the list exhaustive or are there other things? I always thought it determined how fast a QB goes through his progressions.

Two other things:
1. "Aaron Rodgers has a deep accuracy rating of 87, which means that 87% of Rodgers’ deep throws are on target."
What? Is that really how it works?? Need to hear more on this

2. An explanation on the playaction rating would be nice (actual in depth explanation; not just higher rating means PA is more successful)

We need detailed explanations of all the ratings.

BTW.... Wouldn't it be "cool" or at least realistic if some of the "hit stick" hits/tackles started being called for hitting a defenseless receiver or helmet to helmet.... That would be dooooope!

Granted, Madden can't even get the regular penalties to work so who I am kidding

They are called Player Traits. Aaron Rodgers Will Run, While Tom Brady Will Throw It Away.

Big Ben Most Likely Has "Sense Pressure" Trait at "Oblivious". Which means he will stay In the pocket more, and make plays...But take more sacks. He also will run every so often.

Not sure why Rodgers has "Ideal" for senses pressure? His offensive line isn't the only reason he's the most sacked Quarterback in the league the past few years - he loves to hold onto that ball too long quite a bit.
