Fans to Influence Madden NFL 11 Rookie Ratings During the NFL Draft

[Steve_OS]

According to Peter Moore's latest blog. During the NFL Draft, fans can influence Madden NFL 11 rookie ratings.

"Another first for EA SPORTS during the NFL Draft will be the ability for fans to influence rookie ratings in Madden NFL 11. On draft day, ratings guru Donny Moore will post what he thinks the rookie ratings should be. Fans can then go to the Madden NFL website and enter their own ratings for each rookie. Donny will use the fan average as the player rating baseline for when training camp and pre-season begins. This is a great way for fans to become more involved in what is always one of the most hotly debated subjects each year when Madden is released."

it's usually a bad idea when the masses decide something because so many uneducated individuals are involved.

*cough*ProBowl*cough*

I'm a fan, but I generally don't approve of giving fans a say in anything.

Expect Ndamukong Suh to rival Albert Haynesworth and Eric Berry to be rated higher than Ed Reed. This will be the highest rated rookie class ever. I'll put my online league on hold for the first roster update. I can already see Tribow's *** being a 90.....what fun this will be!

Nothing of substance, just promotional hype.

(Not that I'm surprised, it IS Peter Moore after all)

Nothing really new except for the cover athlete being announced on Draft day. Its funny how they make it seem like the community interaction is at an all-time high lol.

I'm not bashing, I do appreciate their community involvement and realize every one of their fans (especially here at OS) are all tough customers, but I kinda wish they would go back to the involvement they had last year.

Thanks for posting though.

So I can tell all my Falcons buddies to come over to hype up whatever draft pick we get. I'm gonna make sure they all say 99, so the other people that give 80's and whatnot get heavily outweighed. I may even create a few screen names to get a beast on the Falcons lol.

I'm just kidding -- but I know this will happen.

Re: PETER MOORE blog

Yeah, but Ian took a beating here everytime he posted something so I don't blame him and his crew. As for Peter didn't really reveal anything (of course) cool to know that community involvement is still a high value to them.

Re: PETER MOORE blog

I'm ok with this, I think it's kinda cool. Lets us see how tough some of these decisions can be.

Besides, more interaction isn't a bad thing.

key words here average and baseline I am sure Donny has a ceiling for each player EX SAM Bradford may have 90THP most he will let go up to is 92 or down to 88 at least thats what I would do I mean it is his job to come up with ratings what good would it do if fans had enough influence to take a guy from 82ovr to 76ovr.

I just hope Donny doesn't make the mistake and give all guys in round 1 A potential and round 2 B potential ect. Nothing like playing online Franchise with a Ray Rice that only has B potential And a DHB that has A potential.

Yeah kinda like voting in America, too many people that don't know anything...

I dont know about this but Donny does need some help. Some of the things that come out of his mouth are borderline special. Like saying that just because and guy who was thought to be a first round pick went to the 4th round that automatically makes him slower. Wait. What?
