Why can't players have 100 Rating

[noid1994]

I think that last years madden you could get 100 rating by doing pratices with players. When you went to the game it would then revert back to 99. Maybe it was a bug and thats why dunno.

I think they should just get rid of the overall rating number. Let people size up the individual attributes and see what they value most.

I think this would be a good idea, sort of. I like the use of overall player ratings for the casual fan, but I wish the CPU would ignore it to an extent.

hahaha nice. yes. line up on the center and bullrush ftw.

If you think chris johnson should have the highest speed rating, why not just make sure 99 is the standard for the fastest top end speed in madden and move everyone else's rating down?

Also, in terms of overall, the composite ratings that add up to overall are capped at 99 but it doesn't prevent the ratings that determine the overall from increasing. For example, I'm pretty sure fitzy and polamalu would be like 103's or higher if there was no overall cap based on how the 'overall' rating responds to individual attribute increases when editing players.

100 would imply perfection, and no one is perfect. But then, I don't think we should be using numbers at all. This is the equivelant of knowing Mario's speed as compared to Sonci's instead of just knowing Sonic is faster. Sports games have been extremely lazy with their design by using numbers instead of real world stats, scouting techniques, and just letting gamers enjoy the player playing the game. The ability list is one thing APF2K8 did really well (view it here).

I'm not sure if I remember looking, but didn't Hester have a 100 rating on an older Madden?

100 does look prettier than 99.

100 doesn't necessarily implies perfection. It can imply: the best.

As said above me, 100 doesnt imply perfection. Under the current system 99 would be considered perfect just as much as a 100 would be if it went up to 100 instead of 99.

The way the game works is with a bunch of mathematical formulas that give you a chance of something to happen. Just because you have a 100 doesnt mean you will be able to perform said action 100% perfect. It just means you will have a higher chance to perform the action then someone who has a lower rating. In a typical system, devs wont allow any player to have a 100% chance to do something because in the NFL any given player on any given down still has a small chance to perform.(Then again Im not a dev of Madden and cant say this is so but that would be how I would want the game to be able to perform)
