Heres what I dont understand , If I am scouting a defensive tackle , I dont care what his throw power is , I dont care what his run blocking ability is , I want to know how he is tackling or blockshedding , etc etc

From what I seen so far, the only position that shows all the ratings is ATH. I think for the other positions is position specific

as excited as i'd like to get about all this, the fact remains (to me at least) that as long as the gameplay is rooted in animations, there will be very little difference between a 90 trucking rating and a 40 rating. every year, i forget that the numbers they throw up on the screen are mostly arbitrary and have little to do with the way the game plays. a lb with a 85 tackle rating has the same animations at his disposal as a lb with a 50 rating.

It's possible that if Madden announces real time physics that NCAA could get it as well.

I also like that that expanded the recruit search engine by adding Stars. I think it will speed up recruiting.
When I play as a 1-2 star school, I dont look at 4-5 star players. It is a waste of a time, Unless I wanted a game changer. It took a long time to filter through the players to find the smaller ranked players. With the star filter, I will be able to find the 1-3 star players faster.

I like the direction this is going, but I have a problem with 60 minutes of scouting a QB and it doesn't tell you anything about their arm at all.

Yeah, ratings should matter much more.

Maybe his arm was sore that day at practice

I agree. Much like in real life, if someone is going after a QB, they are probably focused on awareness, arm strength and accuary, not so much max bench press.

The hit power rating is what changes the way/animations a player tackles. The tackle rating just increases/decreases the chance of a successful tackle.

I believe it was Gotmadskillzson who brought it up about if you lower all the players hit power, the game plays more smoothly and has much more realistic tackle animations instead of every player leaving their feet trying to impale the ball carrier. Again, more of a reason for a global editor.

Sometimes I think the people at OS know how EAs ratings work more than EA does.

Strangely looking forward to having my first 5 star bust after neglecting to scout him. Can't wait for it.

IF the ratings actually had some impact on the gameplay, this feature would be outstanding. But since we all know that a 89 rated receiver is really no different than a 79 rated receiver, this is just adding more time in the arduous task of recruiting.

Agree completely. IMO, this is the best part of what they are adding. I'm sure it will have a few bugs that a patch will need to iron out but this adds a whole new level to the recruiting and dynasty longevity.
