CFM Rookies Not Adjusted To Stock Player Scale (EA Is Investigating)

Re: CFM Rookies Not Adjusted To Stock Player Scale (EA Is Investigating)

It also appears that 80 is the lowest rating the game will hand out to a generated rookie at WR

While CM's data has shown the old system is still in play for the creation of ratings of rookies, I'm honestly more concerned with this line from his first post. I hope you are not referring to the "overall" rating here because if so there is some issues.

WHY is it that WR's will never be rated lower than 80?? This seems flat out poor design if this is true. So basically you can never bust on a WR draft pick? I'm afraid to see what the lowest rating is at other positions.

CM if you can clear this up, were you talking about the speed rating or overall rating?

He was saying that no WR will have SPD/ACC/AGI under 80.

I'm not saying you are wrong ND, but why in this post does he show 3 players at a 77 speed in year 2035? Degradation?

The Acceleration rating appears to floor out at 80 for WRs. Definitely not talking about OVR.

The OVR ratings were all over the place and more reasonably distributed, that primarily driven by the AWR rating I believe (also the expected things like CTH, CIT, RRT, and SPC).

Good to know,

I wish we could get a detailed take into certain ratings and what they truly effect. Reason I say that, we can discuss the ramifications of these rating issues but without knowing just how they work its kind of like shooting in the dark.

Now obviously speed is not vague in what it does but awareness is very vague at what it truly does. Lineman footwork is another, sure it sounds like its easy to know what it does but can you truly see a difference between a 99 RBF compared to a 50 RBF? How about strength vs block strength or agility vs elusiveness?

I realize this is a bit off-subject from the point of your post, but players in Madden NFL 16 are no longer given ratings for Run Block Strength, Run Block Footwork, Pass Block Strength, and Pass Block Footwork. Those ratings are completely absent from the game now and, though present, had no function in Madden NFL 15.

More on-topic, it's my impression the reason that we are not explicitly told everything the ratings do is to encourage us to play the game, figure it out ourselves, and build our teams based upon our own experiences.

I thought it was confirmed that those 4 blocking attributes were still in the game. Someone said they were in the fbg roster thread. Do you know otherwise.

After some investigation, I found these ratings only in the Player Edit screen. They aren't in the front-end View Roster screen, and they have never been included in Connected Franchise.

The devs have said repeatedly these ratings no longer have any in-game function, however.

Oh wow, I never knew this. Kind of glad they did away with it tbh. Attributes were/are getting pretty cluttered.

I listen to this and thats why im scared so many bugs and Kolbe nor shop master mention Rookie classes



Last night, Kolbe called into Game Changers Radio, and advised everyone to wait until the upcoming patch to start their CFMs. More info available

He talks about waiting specifically around the 13:00 minute mark.

?

At about 13:50ish he mentions one of the reasons to hold off on starting a CFM is because they can't retroactively fix rookie classes on franchises that have already been started. So in other words if you start a franchise before the patch, then the rookie class that was already generated for you can't be fixed.

So he is saying wait until the patch comes to start your CFM if you want to have fixed rookie classes

Has anyone tested this in offline franchise to see if it still exists?
