Well would you trust one person for all your fantasy football advice?

Finding out it was just one guy leaves me a little worried about some bias. You realize David Boston stayed on the Dolphins way to long a few seasons back.

Ill never know why they mess with speed and throw power on this game.

If you are fast in college, you will be fast anywhere.

Fast does not equal good, though.

Look at Troy Williamson. Dude is crazy fast, but is an awful player. Runs terrible routes, cant catch....all he is is fast. Sometimes I think they just lower these ratings to give them lower overalls.

Just like throw power. If you can throw 70 yards in college...you can in the NFL.

A bit off-topic, but damn that was some great speed to come back and tackle him. Good angle to.

IMO, Donny does an excellent job. But, a few more people helping out wouldn't hurt anything. Especailly, if that get's up closer to having accurate practice squads.

Re: Does EA need to hire additional people to work on player rankings?

The only thing that I can see as to why it is an issue is that on previous maddens the defenses were just too fast. I personally could not take a toss play to the outside without getting hammered for a loss, I think they want to change that. On the other hand I think pursuit is the speed at which a defender chases down another player correct? How high is that rating?

I did The Ratings for The Ravens last year... send them to be put in the game, They show up in Madden 10 and I get no credit. I'm gonna leave it alone.. ( And Hell Yeah.. I GOT PROOF) before anyone asks.

Love the game... will always be a fan.

Re: Does EA need to hire additional people to work on player rankings?

Another person I believe that got shafted is Colt Brennan. Now one can say I have osme bias in me and thats true. But how can Donny say him and Brett Favre are almost the same speed? And how can he say hie is inaccurate? He has like 75 short throw accuracy, 50 medium, and 40 deep. Anyone that watches college or NFL football knows that Colt Brennan is not less accurate than Travarris Jackson.
