Madden 25 - PS4 FBGratings Roster Project

[Hooe]

Hi all,

Similar to charter04's FBGratings roster file for XBOX One, I'm working on a roster file for PS4 using FBGratings' player ratings database. I've made limited progress myself so far and will upload the file under my PS4 ID (CMHooe) later this week if anyone is interested in helping make this happen.

(DONE)

Dallas Cowboys
Philadelphia Eagles
New York Giants
Washington Redskins

(IN PROGRESS)

mooch49 - NFC West (Cardinals, 49ers, Rams, Seahawks)

(SCHEDULED)

CM Hooe - NFC North (Bears, Lions, Packers, Vikings) - TBD

I'll jump on board and help with a few teams... let me know when I can download the file. Out of curiosity, what are you using as your base?

I'm willing to help with some teams as well. Has anybody tested gameplay with these edits? With Madden 15 on the horizon, not totally sure it be worth the investment unless of course the game plays incrementally better. If so, I can assist in the OP's efforts.

Re: Madden 25 - PS4 FBGratings Roster Project

I plan on having the first upload with the NFC East wrapped up by the end of the holiday weekend; traveling and such might get in the way of me finishing it up any sooner than that.

At the very least, I want to have a good number of teams done to allow for a reasonable amount of testing of the ratings system with a variety of team match ups. I understand that Madden 15's release looms soon and to that end a complete roster may not be entirely worthwhile. The ideal goal remains all teams, certainly.

Re: Madden 25 - PS4 FBGratings Roster Project

Took a bit longer than I expected, but I've now uploaded the first-pass roster file containing all the completed NFC East teams. I'm probably going to update it very soon to add Rolando McClain to the Cowboys, but following that I will be taking a short break to allow volunteers to claim the file if they wish. If no volunteers emerge I'll proceed to the NFC North.

To answer a question posed earlier - the roster file I started with was a file called "THOMASDRAFT2014" posted by tom28germany, which was updated within the past month and had been downloaded about 40000 times with 3000+ likes.

You may download the work-in-progress FBGratings roster by searching for my PSN ID, "CMHooe".

Cool! Let me know when you're done or if you decide to upload incremental progress (on a per-team level, presumably) and I will update my base file. Thanks for the help!

Just completed 49ers. Hope to complete the rest of the division by the end of the weekend. This is based off your roster that you uploaded yesterday.

Re: Madden 25 - PS4 FBGratings Roster Project

I just noticed something strange. It seems when you play a game with the edited rosters, the ratings change again. Not drastically, but they change by a couple of points or so. Has anyone noticed this?

Update: It seems it doesn't have anything to do with playing a game. For whatever reason the ratings change from the ones that were inputted. Not major, but still by a few points here and there. Not sure why.

Really? Do you have an example? That strikes me as bizarre, lol.

I know that it's not possible to input all the ratings on account of the player editor blocking out ratings that "don't matter" for a position (I can't reduce Henry Melton's 76 SFA rating, for example, because SFA doesn't show up when editing DTs).

Re: Madden 25 - PS4 FBGratings Roster Project

Not sure why they didn't stick. Maybe I had a few too many while inputting them. All seem good now as I'm doing the Seacocks. LOL.

Re: Madden 25 - PS4 FBGratings Roster Project

Completed Seattle. If I can complete the rest of the division by Sunday, would there be any volunteers to help with the other divisions. I'll upload the file which will have the NFC East and West done. Really would love to knock these rosters out soon. So if anyone else would like to contribute to this roster please post what teams you would like to do. I'll just then upload the roster so it can be passed on. I'm certainly willing to do more teams as well. But any additional contributions would be welcomed.

Re: Madden 25 - PS4 FBGratings Roster Project

If there's no other volunteers lined up when you finish, I'm planning on moving forward with the NFC North while we wait for more. I don't want any one person overburdened with the creation of this file if we can avoid it.

****AN UPDATE FOR ROSTER EDITORS****


I know that there are a few groups making rosters using FBG Ratings. Well, I have made it a bit easier to track player updates on the website.

Each time a player's ratings change, you will notice a + or - sign with an attribute amount next to their name on the roster. EXAMPLE:

http://www.fbgratings.com/members/vi...ovr&order=DESC

When you click on the player's ratings page, you can see in the lower right corner (right under the ratings box) two dates. The first is the "Overall Rating Updated" date. This is the date that the OVR rating was last updated. The second is the "Player Attributes Last Updated" date. This is the date that the attributes were last updated. They should always be the same date.

http://www.fbgratings.com/members/pr...php?pyid=54857

All players in the entire database were last updated on 7/9/2014. I highly suggest you edit players to those specifications in your rosters. However, some players have been updated on 7/11/2014. You can tell because the dates on their profile pages say 7/11/2014 for the "Overall Rating Updated" and "Player Attributes Last Updated" dates. Other players will still reflect the last date their ratings changed. EXAMPLE:

http://www.fbgratings.com/members/pr...php?pyid=57020

Now, if a player changed positions (and thus his OVR calculation changed) OR his attributes changed but his OVR did not, his dates will be updated on his player profile page, BUT his ratings change on the roster list will say "+0". That means that the player still needs to be edited but his OVR did not change due to the edits. This could be because of the position change or because some attributes changed but not enough to bump the player up or down a full OVR point. EXAMPLE:

http://www.fbgratings.com/members/vi...team=Cardinals

http://www.fbgratings.com/members/pr...php?pyid=58077

Basically, if a player has a + or - in the "+/-" column on the roster page, you need to edit them. If they do not, then just leave that player alone. This way, you won't have to be editing entire rosters, but instead, just edit the players that changed.

Let me know if you have any questions. I will post this in the other FBG-Related Roster Threads.

Hey guys, sorry if this information is already posted. How many teams are done for the PS4?
