    What contributes to a player's overall rating? I have the answers!

    Ever wonder what each player's attributes actually mean for their overall rating? I used to. Now I know.

    Below are charts and statistics that show what each attribute does to each position's overall stats.

    The main purpose of this is so that you know which individual attributes are important to each position. So, if you were wondering if speed is more important than tackle to a DE, now you know. Ditto if you wanted to know if agility is more important to HBs or to WRs.

    The way I figured this out is by going to "Create a Player" and setting all the attributes to 50. I then set each attribute in turn to 99 and recorded how that affected the player's overall rating. I then did this for each position. The tables on the left are the results of that. The column labeled "@99" are the player's overall rating when each attribute was set to 99. The column labeled +## is how much the player's overall rating changed. The "##" is what the player's overall rating was when all attributes were set to 50. The charts are just the results represented in pretty blue graphs. (If an attribute isn't shown, you can assume it had no effect on overall rating).





    *note: K's and P's stats are found by starting KPW and KAC at 75 instead of 50.

    Hmm, wonder if this may work on NCAA? What I mean is for editing purposes. With this info. maybe we can start to create realistic draft classes. I already figured out QB, RB, and WRs. Thanks.

      Well the whole idea of this is to help people with player editing and player creation. I do a lot of creating/editing and I always find this kind of info useful, so I figured other people might find it useful too.

        Wow, this is awesome.

        Interesting that MLB only need to tackle, but the ability to actually get to the ball carrier (SPD, AWR) doesn't matter as much that I thought it would (I thought all 3 would have been nearly even in impact and high).

        Oh, and AWR is that important for OL - in fact it's more important for them that for just about any other position on the field. Never would have guessed that!

          Nice research by the OP and well presented.

          Yeah, you would think block shedding and pursuit abilities would be important to MLB and OLB. And the OL awareness thing, I think it's because if there is fumble it's usually the RB or QB and the OL is usually close. I recall a while ago in a previous madden/ncaa they confirmed that awareness helps with things like jumping on a fumble. That might explain why it is so high for OL. The end result is that the OVR rating is "Over-rated." Pun intended.

                    Reason awareness is such a big deal for O-Linemen is because of blocking assignments. Try running a counter with a high rated awareness O-Lineman vs. a low rated one... big difference, the high rated one will actually head towards his block.

                            thanks =)

                            Now I guess my follow up question would be, in what situations is the higher overall rating actually indicative of a more effective player in Madden. For example, what should my depth chart be for the Bears WR's? =)
