Madden NFL 17 To Be More Transparent With Ratings Than Ever Before

[canes21]

How very Madden-eque. The QB chart doesn't add up to 100% and this feels a bit incomplete since it doesn't tell you how each scheme and player type changes the formula.

Thank god for full player editing, but it's a shame some of us feel we have to.

It's weird that it wouldn't be like this for the other positions but it's possible the other categories all (or most) share a fraction of a percentage point in the overall which could be why they were left off.

Just a thought.

I can't speak for what he was going for but I used to make that same argument but basically only when comparing the Madden rating to real life performance when pissing matches are going on about this player being too high or this player being too low.

I've never used with how the overall actually affects CFM.

Is this the chart for 16?

We can't know for sure. It was the chart from '15, so it might have changed for '16 and it might not.

I used it last year and the OVR gains when I added points to an attribute were pretty predictable., so it was at least really close.

Maybe this is a stupid question but what do the different colors indicate? I thought it was the darker colors were the more important attributes but that does seem to be right. 😕

Pass block is so key for rb in real life, the fact that madden gives no weight to it is awful

The QB total is updated on the EA site with Throwing Power updated to 26% instead of 13% that is shown on the original graphic captured by the OP.
