ratings have ALWAYS meant crap if you ask me.....ALWAYS.

I personally think that how players perform is actually based on where they play and a "roll of the dice" system for determining the final outcome. The attributes are just...well...THERE.

How else would you explain P/K playing the OL and playing like PRO BOWL caliber Tackles and Guards?

Did you try it on any other difficulty besides Rookie?

Of course it's a "roll the dice" system. how else would they do it?

Still I can't wait to see all the people defending Madden start to show up, not that this post proves anything. This thread will be locked soon too.

accuracy should matter in relation to where the DB is, which shoulder it's on, ect. I can hit a guy wide open, that doesn't require NFL accuracy.

Ever hear of the saying "Even a blind squirrel finds an acorn once in awhile?"

Thats what this is, he can make that pass from time to time. Try fake punt passing 10 times and let us know you're results.

I bet they are less than 20%.

Give Ian & Co more credit than that bud.
