Madden NFL 16 Player Ratings - Top 6 Quarterbacks

Re: Madden NFL 16 Player Ratings - Top 5 Quarterbacks

Hopefully these lower Throw Accuracy, especially TAD ratings create some separation from the elite, good, decent, mediocre/rookie and sucky/painter QB's.

Re: Madden NFL 16 Player Ratings - Top 5 Quarterbacks

Luck is a little overrated. Not sure if he's top 5 just yet. Still throws too many pics. On the other hand, Russell Wilson is severely underrated smh. Not saying he's top 5 but he's close. His awareness is arguably the best in the league.

Lol. L-O-L.

Re: Madden NFL 16 Player Ratings - Top 5 Quarterbacks

Manning had several grades drop from last year to this year:

Arm Strength: 2.4 to 2.3
Scrambling Ability: 0.3 to 0.2
Middle Accuracy: 2.3 to 2.1
Short Accuracy: 3.6 to 3.0
Deep Accuracy: 1.71 to 1.21
Injury Hold increased from 0.6 to 1.4

Brady had some changes as well:

Arm Strength: 2.7 to 2.6
Scrambling Ability: 0.1 to 0.4
Middle Accuracy: 2.2 to 2.4
Reads: 4.0 to 3.6
Leadership: 4.1 to 4.4
Injury 0.7 to 0.3

The biggest problem with Brady is his suspension hold. Once he is back from his suspension, that should raise his overall grade a bit more.

What does a suspension have to do with perceived talent?

Yea Dan, I agree with you knocking a guy for a PED suspension for obvious reasons. But a bogus suspension like tampering balls that he didn't even do or been proven that he even knew about it.

It just drops the overall grade, which isn't even calculated by the attributes, so it doesn't even matter in all reality as to how it affects his rating in Madden. Consider it something like a "production modifier". It's really hard to have a high production modifier value if you are out for 4 games.

I don't knock them down, the scouting dept. that provides me with my ratings does. I'm just the messenger. From what I can see, all of his attributes weren't affected, just the production modifier.

That makes sense I guess.

Re: Madden NFL 16 Player Ratings - Top 5 Quarterbacks

I totally forgot you also adjusted due to suspensions. Do you drop awareness for that or something else?

I don't drop anything unless they are injured. That OVR grade is like an overall score for anything else you can imagine.

For example. You run a company and you want to hire this great SQL developer. The kid is a whiz and could make you millions. Only problem is that he is addicted to "Cheezing" (if you watch South Park, you will get my reference). So, although his ability to code is great, you drop his overall value a bit because you know that he may get popped for being in possession of a cat or two.

The same thing happens here. It doesn't affect his attributes and his OVR grade goes right back up when he is cleared to play.

Get it?

Perhaps I'm missing something, isn't overall tied to the other attributes?

Also, wouldn't a lower overall impact how he's handled in CFM (trades, salary, free agency, etc)?

I just don't really see the point I suppose to temporarily dropping a players overall. Especially Tom Brady, when you know what you're going to get.

In Madden, yes, dropping the OVR would require you to drop the attribute values.

In the scouting data, no. They have a separate category that modifies the overall grade based on production.

Example:

Attributes + Modifier = Total Grade

5.95 + 0 (no holds/injuries/suspensions) = 5.95

5.95 + (-1.00) (suspension) = 4.95

His attribute value didn't change, just the modifier for the suspension.

When I rate the players, I don't include the hold for suspensions, just injuries (because an injury to your throwing arm may inhibit your ability to throw).

You can tell by looking at his back?
