    Madden NFL 11 "Swagger" Rating Explained (MyMaddenPad)


    MyMaddenPad has posted the details of what the "Swagger" rating is all about for Madden NFL 11.

    "The "Old Spice Swagger" rating determines the likelihood of a player to celebrate on the way to the endzone, or after a touchdown. For example, a running back like Adrian Peterson (99 rating) has a greater tendency to celebrate than Frank Gore (50 rating)."

    Thanks Steve. Makes sense. I don't have a problem with it, the only thing is why stop at swagger if you want to add organic emotion to the game?

    Why not a "composure" rating, or a "clutch" rating? It seems like with the weapons system, they were trying give players characteristics. It could have been done better, but why go away from that line of thinking?

      I see now. So it's literally "swagger", and not a confidence rating of sorts. That's cool and all, but doesn't (didn't) the user have the ability to make someone highstep into the endzone or do celebrations either way?

            As I mentioned in the other thread, they need to have those high swagger players doing "peacock" poses all time and not just on touchdowns, so that their annoying nature can really shine through.

            Do this today: Instead of $%*#!@& on a game you're not going to play or movie you're not going to watch, say something good about a piece of media you're excited about.

            Do the same thing tomorrow. And the next. Now do it forever.

              Like when a player gets a first down, they are always signaling it for the fans.

                If it wasn't sponsored by Old Spice, it would most likley be called the "Showboat" rating.

                It is never a bad thing to have extra personality added to the game.

                  Nice, now there can actually be a difference with a Chad Johnsons receiver and Marvin Harrison

                    No big deal IMO. Good use of the sponsorship between EA and Old Spice....

                      Ok, now I don't feel as funny towards EA using the term swagger since its been explained that it determines touchdown celebrations, and its not tied into ratings boost or taking away from a SIM aspect of the game, carry on.

                        I no longer have an issue with the Swagger rating.

                        Still think it's hilarious though.

                              I don't think I like the fact that advertising gimmicks are the driving force behind new gameplay features...
