ReBirth ReRated Rosters for PS3 using Scouts Inc, SF 2008, Pro Football Prospectus

Did u move Pat White to WR w/ ur draft class???

[Da Rebirth]

Draft classes were rerated to lessen the frequency of 90+ rated players, Pat White remained a QB, but with WR attributes so his position could be switched as a "developmental prospect".

Nice stuff. Where'd you get the info for formation subs and is this post patch 2?

I started editing (again because I first began when I learned that the Draft Acquistion info wouldn't be affected by patch #2), after update #3 (last Friday) and I finished after the 2nd patch was released. If you're asking about progression/regression, it does occur.

For the formation sub info, some of it was acquired from basically watching games (Michael Pittman being goalline back, LJ not being trusted to block on passing downs, Justin Tuck and the 4 Aces package from last year, Charles Ali/Browns FB, is used for short yardage blocking...etc). Some was included in the Scouts Inc, analysis reports, some was in The Pro Football Prospectus 2008, and most of the SE/FL WR designations were in Scientific Football 2008 (KC Joyner sends a Fantasy Draft guide listing who played what for matchup purposes).

Alot of the playmaking 3-4 inside linebackers actually play on the weak side (with a stout linebacker on the interior strong side to contest O-Linemen, making it necessary to have a double team commanding NT for the defense to work effectively), which is the #2 position on the Madden depth chart. If they are in the #2 slot, then they won't get the stats generated from the #1 spot. Therefore, I put them in the #1 MLB spot in the depth chart for stat purposes, and placed them on the weak side (of the interior) for actual gameplaying purposes.

Some players on Defense are considered 2-down players (great at stopping the run, shaky when it comes to pass situations). KGB, Robert Mathis, Mark Anderson, Chris Clemons, Dumervil, and a few others are included on Nickel & Dime packages with a larger player on the base defense formations. More WR's than you may think, actually get alot of their success from getting matched up against non-cornerbacks. Anquan Boldin has demonstrated less than great metrics when matched up with a good cornerback while his counterpart Larry Fitzgerald puts up great numbers (metrically) against any level of competition. In KC Joyner's words, he's "Matchup Agnostic", which is probably a reason why he got the money extension while Anquan wants a new deal. Not sure if you watched the NFL Countdown this past Sunday when they were both interviewed and he admitted that Fitz was the best WR on the team. Then he said that he's not even a WR and just a football player, a beast that can physically dominate a matchup in his favor. Not sure if it was something that helps his case for a top WR contract, but he spoke the truth. Anyway, I know this was way longer than you probably expected in response, but I hope I answered your question somewhere along the way. LoL

Franchise Base includes team specific formation substitutions already made so that when you play games different personnel will appear in different formations. Examples include bigger backs as goalline backs, Pass Rush Specialists being utilized in Nickel/Dime formations, True Slot WR's (Welker, Randle-El, Roscoe Parrish, etc...) placed in the slot even though they are placed in the SE position in the #2 spot on the depth chart, etc..

Franchise Base NS (NS=No Subs) is default depth chart related packages.

I dont know what I am doing wrong but when I download these I put them on my flash drive and they dont show up when I try and put them on my PS3. I never have trouble with files that are put on here in PS3-SaveData-BLUS301 or if they are posted as just BLUS301. But these say rebirthrerated then the next leval is BLUS301 and when I put these in my PS3 folder on my flashdrive they dont even show up. So I clicked into the rebirthrerated folder and got to the blus301 folder and tried to put in in my PS3-Savedata and it showed up as corrupted. So if anyone can help me out and let me know how I need to put these on my flash drive I would really appreciate it. I hope i explained all of that well enough.
