Do you like the number system we have now? Or would you like something similiar to APF 2k8, but players can have some more abilities and we don't have Gold, Silver, Bronze.

I like the system similiar to APF because it is more realistic. Also, it keeps players balanced, but they have their things they excel at. Thats just like the NFL. Most players are close in skill, but LT will be way more agile than CP.

But I think they should improve it and add negative perks. A WR can have Hops, Speed Burner, Route God, but to counter it he would also have Low Strength, Low Stamina, Hard Hand.

the numbers are ALWAYS going to be there regardless if they are shown or not. So i would rather see the numbers to know the exacts.

Number system gives you more control when editing rosters. Maybe you think TO is too fast, but not agile enough? It's easier to edit the roster with the number system.

I'm a numbers guy....So the numbers system will always remain my favorite. In fact, I tried APF's system and didnt' quite like it. Besides, that's an important part of the Madden movement, what your particular favorite player/team is rated. You can't take that out, that's like changing the name to NFL football 10 without the "Madden" in it....that would be just weird.

Numbers!
Im tired of dumbed down systems. Ooo look at the pretty gold and silver names. Ooo look at the pretty ratings bars.
Numbers give exact and unargueable(sp) ratings that cant be argued with

Numbers.

2K's system worked on numbers we just didn't have user access to see them or make mods... and it really got ridiculous when creating players. How did you know who was faster or stronger etc.?

It was one of those things that sounded good on paper but in practice was a question mark rather than an innovation.

In real life, everything a player does is rated by someone in some way. Whether it be their 40 time, or bench press, etc. These things aren't meant to be a numeric mystery and they need to be covered by a number of different ratings.

With Madden, ratings just need to mean more and it looks like they're working hard towards that.

I should also point out, that the "perk" system already exists with Weapons it just doesn't actually do anything in it's current state. I don't like weapons for that reason alone, also the actual graphic cheapens the picture.

A shutdown corner in Madden can have that Weapon but not really play that way. They should play like real shutdown corners and force me not to throw in that direction or risk a pick 6.

The goal has got to be to make those identified players play like their real life counterparts in terms of how they impact the other teams gameplanning.
