Anybody with some free time?

[DCEBB2001]

I am wondering if someone would like to volunteer to help me out with something. I do not have my gaming console and I would like to start calculating some ratings so I can give you all some examples. I saw this thread from Madden 10 where you can use calculations for each position to determine how the OVR rating is calculated. Would someone with some free time mind going into Madden 10 and figuring out the attribute weights as discussed in this thread? I would need them for EVERY position...Ks and Ps included. The more accurate the better. This would allow me to remotely calculate the OVR ratings without having to go into the game and will allow the posting to my website to be much quicker and more efficient. Any volunteers? I may be able to get someone with satisfactory work a free membership to NFLdraftscout.com as payment. Please respond in the thread or send me a PM if you are interested.

Here is the link to the thread:

LOL no volunteers!? Wow...

It seems like a pretty easy task, but relatively pointless this close to M11 since EA seems to use different weighting factors from year to year. I'll check a few of the known players for M11 to see if they still work with the M10 weighting factors and get back to you.

Do you want all of the position ratings re-calculated for validation purposes or are you okay just using what's in that thread for the majority of the ratings? It seems like the "create-a-player" feature is the quickest way to get at the weighting factors despite what was done by the original posters in that thread.

I would prefer to get the recalculated. Could you check to see if some of the known players still match up from 2011? Create a player is quite easy to use for this...would do it myself but I don't have my console anymore.

Thanks bro!

The M10 weighting factors work for QBs and HBs in M11. Also work somewhat for DEs and WRs.

Gotcha...well I suppose I can wait for the new Madden then to save some work. Thanks again bro for finding that out! I gotta get a PS3 now!
