Unrealistic Ratings?

Umm actually if you convert those speed ratings into Madden a 4.47 is really only 87 or 88 speed and the acceleration is within the 1st 10-20 yards so you can't use that for his 40 time.

To be quite honest when you start talking 96-99 speed essentially a guy should have a 40 time of 4.30 and lower.

So Miller truly isn't a speed demon if he was in Madden he'd be fast but not as fast you might want him to be

This will give you a good idea of how those 40 times convert over to EA's ratings

Where does Madden come into this?

[Dewie12]

Throw power ratings are all way too high. It affects gameplay a lot.

Your other concerns....those players are simply numbers man. This is not a game with real players......

Clearly you haven't watched much Michigan...based on how often Denard overthrows his wr's, 90 might be underselling his thp.

Kidding aside, I agree they made Gardner and most freshman in general too good. Keep in mind if all freshman in the game were rated based on what they were actually going to produce this year, then 4 years from now in dynasty mode everyone would be rated in the 80s.

well the players import into Madden right?

so the speed ratings are judged using Madden's speed chart...

my point is that guy he pointed out shouldn't really have that high of speed because that would make him faster than some of the real speed players in Madden if use the correct 40 x's and translate them to it's proper speed in the game

But hey maybe you guys like overating speed ratings so carry on

don't you just love guys who want to jack up the speed of their favorite players...

no wonder EA has a million players running around on the field with 90+ speed it makes people happy i guess

If you look at their true combine #'s half these guys aren't even at a 90 speed they are overated in that area by the NCAA developers who rate the players speed

NCAA has always had jacked up ratings......Which is why I stopped using default rosters and edit them myself.

Prime example, look at Alabama roster......damn near everybody has 90s or high 80s ratings across the board, even their freshmen.

But the look at a school like Iowa State or Indiana and they have seniors with a 58 awareness. Ratings are VERY bias. If it is big name school that is on national tv a lot, their whole roster will have high ratings. Schools who only get local or regional coverage, their ratings are very low.

I swear I seen an Alabama Right Tackle with 84 speed 82 jukemove 97 awareness 66 Kick return. I was like what ?????

Or a senior WR with 55 catch 66 awareness 80 speed 69 route running, but yet he is an all american. Makes no sense.
