It looks like in depth player analysis to help generate realistic ratings in Madden. They must use a different formula than EA.

So once all the ratings are, how will it work? Release a file for it on the site or here? I need to get myself an american copy of this game...

The site serves as a massive database for Madden ratings for every player that was in the league or draft eligible since 1998. All the players are rated on the same scale using scouting data and empirical data analysis. Players are also rated equally, regardless of position, which gets rid of the "my player runs faster than this player because he plays X position" arguments. That database holds 17000 players that will all have updated OVR ratings (which will be updated monthly) and attributes. This will allow users to create CAPs and edit rosters according to the FBG ratings standard within your game. Because the ratings have also been tested within the game engine, they are assured to behave more realistically than the "out of the box" ratings that EA applies.

The formula to get the OVR ratings from the attributes is the same, unfortunately. This is because we have to work within the game engine to replicate what you see on the site with what you get when creating a player or editing a roster. However, it is how individual attributes are derived that is different. Unlike EA, we use hard, measurable data to estimate the individual attributes which in turn let us arrive at an OVR rating.

Once the ratings are completed and updated regularly you can simply look up a team or player, click on them, and see how they are rated. Then you can simply copy the attributes one by one in create a player or a roster, giving you a player that is rated using the FBG system. I will also in the future provide files that can be downloaded from the site directly for use in the NextGen consoles.

The best part is I don't play favorites with these...I prefer to be ACCURATE with the ratings. Oh, and say goodbye to a guy getting a speed boost because he is performing better. A better performance does not equate to more speed for a player. In fact, many players are actually slower when they hit their production prime around 26-27 years of age than they were when they were rookies. Players will slow down approx. .005s per season after their rookie year on the average, in fact.
