Looking for these Cowboys CAP

[Samantha]

Tyson Thompson
Lousaka Polite
Ben Noll
Bret Pierce
Jay Ratliff
Ryan Fowler
Willie Pile
Jose Cortez

Some of these players have been in previous Madden 05 roster updates, and I would appreciate their ratings and equipment/appearance attributes. Others, possibly some of you have some inside info on their strengths or speed/40 times and have come up with something. Thanks in advance.

Wow, thank you very much! Interesting web site. Who are these guys? How credible are they?

Wow, they really are reducing the speed for several guys! I mean, they have Keyshawn at a 79. I know he's not fast, but a 79?
And Tyson Thompson was at a 86....uh, he's fast!

An unsolicted opinion - these guys have been doing a Madden re-rating project for several years, and their numbers have always been much better than the official EA rosters. The thing I like the most is that they tend to shy away from the extreme ends of the scale, i.e. fewer players with overall ratings in the high 90's and virtually no players below 60.

Another benefit of their re-rating efforts can be found in the punting game. The FBG ratings usually have significantly higher awareness and blocking ratings for backup players. When you use their rosters, you'll notice right away how much better the punting game becomes, the blockers actually do their jobs . It's like playing a different game.

The downside is that re-rating all the players can be a collossal pain, and it can sometimes play havoc with the salary cap structure in franchise mode.

Their numbers may seem funny, but in the context of the FBG league wide ratings they make sense(there are fewer burners, and even O-linemen are in the 40-50's). If you're just looking for a few CAP's (as opposed to re-rating everyone according to the FBG ratings) take a look at http://madden05ratings.cjb.net/ . His ratings are much more in line with the "traditional" Madden.

Thank you very much, to everyone! I will take these three options, and make it work. I guess my initial worry is, to get all the players kinda on the same scale, which FBG seems to lower ratings, and I certainly don't want to go through the entire madden roster. I appreciate everyone's help!
