Re: Madden NFL 10 blog 2: Ratings philosophy by Donny Moore

I dig this. Players in Madden could use more diversity in how they play. Players are either very good, average, or below average in each position. Strengths of a player didn't stand out too much aside from speed and broken tackles (thanks to the highlight stick break tackles). I'm glad to hear that they've been messed around to not only make the ratings have more disparity (and I hope the broadening of ratings widen in the future), because this will open up differences between players and make some ratings have more effects. I love hearing that if a player gets clear and no one is around that they are gone. In the past that 90 speed player would have caught up to that 80 speed player even if they we're out of position by a quite a bit when the runner broke out.

I hope weight and size also has been re-tuned to have more emphasis on player ratings and matchups. I HATE, seeing a small player be able to take on a big player more times then not like they're all little beasts. This is also a very important part of line battles and why the 3-4 doesn't work like it should because that one nosetackle can't create havoc due to his strength and size.
