OS - Press Row Podcast: Episode 37 - Madden NFL 25 Ratings with EA’s Donny Moore

[bmj2k7]

I wonder why Brady has a rating of 97 now, when nfl.com got a sneak peak at the ratings, brady and rodgers were tied at 98.

I think you still don't get it. At the beginning of last season, RG3 was fairly rated in Madden and Wilson was very underrated. After a 2012 season in which they played about equally well, they should have fairly similar overalls. Players aren't rated relative to their previous rating.

LMFAO that argument was too funny but at the end of the day. they BOTH only played 1 season

and really RG3 is going to be rayed like 97 anyway once you complete year 1 of your franchise soooo I don't see the point your trying to make

im pretty sure wilson had a better game in that wildcard head to head match up with RG3.

im more suprised that keap has the best deepball accuracy in the game and pretty much all of them last year rookie QBs have a better deep ball then joe flacco lol.

It was 14-0 before RG3 got hurt...

You can find deep ball completion percentages over at profootball weekly...

I just want to know the method to his madness. Carlson Palmer is rated I believe 82. NFL Total Access reported that he won something like 9 games in three years, why is he still decent in Madden?

Certain names don't get dropped and I want to know why. Certain guys lose stats when they are injured and certain guys don't, why?

Wins is not exactly the best method to rate a player..... Megatron should have been a 75OVR by that standard. L.Fitz should be quite low too.

And if the point is that wins/losses are usually attached to QB's... just because some people still use that as an argument, it doesn't make it right... muuuuuch more should go into accounting for ovr than w-l record.

That being said, 82 is way too high for CP..... In general, every player is rated too high in Madden.

And as someone has mentioned before.... updating ratings on a week to week basis is as absurd as it gets.

That's exactly what DPP is supposed to do!!!!
