In 2012, Colin Kaepernick came in only second to Joe Flacco in terms of deep accuracy. In 2013 he was rated #1. Not only that, but he has the highest accuracy percentage of any QB going back to 2007 when they started tracking it... yet you give him:

DEEP THROW ACCURACY: 54

Now, I know that you stretch out the numbers, but to compare, you give Aaron Rodgers 78 Deep throwing accuracy, but Colin Kaepernick was 6.7% better than Rodgers. Roders deserves his 92 short and 99 medium accuracy, where his overall accuracy is significantly better than Colin... who doesn't even make the top 10 list. That isn't the point. If Rodgers deserves a 78, then Colin deserves an 80. Instead, you have Colin only two points better than Tom Brady, who throws the worst deep ball in the NFL.

Also, Colin was ranked 5th on throwing on the run. you gave him a 99 rating, but there were 4 other QBs better than him. That begs the question... what does a 99 mean, when there are 4 other palyers better than you? are they all 99's, or should Colin only have a 98 or 97 rating?

I wish you better explained these.

Obviously I care about the players on my favorite team. I am not going to argue about his awareness rating ,because he makes poor decisions with the football at times, but that shouldn't impact his accuracy rating. He may throw a dumb deep ball, but it will be an accurate dumb deep ball.

P.S. I could also go on about how line backer N. Bowman #53 was rated the best coverage linebacker in the NFL when he was healthy. I don't have the link right now, but he the 49ers actually took Willis off the field in dime situations and kept Bowman in. Also, Bowman made the play to send the 49ers to the super bowl and there was an episode of "turning point" that talked about Bowman's consistently great coverage skills and how they came into play again.

P.P.S. The big problem I have had, that we have talked about before is that the video game doesn't support your ratings. Anything under a 90 rating and a player is not good at their job. Finally, from memory, Donny Moore talked about how any rating under 73 or so doesn't even have an impact on the game. There is no difference between a rating of 22 and 72 in terms of game play. The only reason to have a rating under 72 is to force you to spend XP in CCM to raise it up to a meaningful level.

Having stretched out ratings is nice in theory, but not if the game play doesn't support it. The truth is that a lot of players, such as line backers, need much higher ratings than they have in Madden to improve game lay and to get them to do their jobs correctly like a real linebacker would. Giving someone like Bowman 99 zone and 92 man coverage would result in far more accurate game play than giving him 69 zone and 57 man coverage would.

Re: FBG Ratings Videography

In other news, I do have a video capture device and want to get Madden 16 when I can. I will certainly try to have a separate roster file where I can integrate (over time) your ratings. That's a lot of work.

Dan doesn't rate players; he converts player grades from professional NFL scouts into Madden ratings. Not trying to hijack thread though...

I would be more than happy to address these in another thread, but this is way off topic buddy. I suggest you take advantage of email or PM to get these answered or defer to another thread.

We are releasing official FBG Rosters on both platforms, available for download, in October. You can do your own roster if you like, but you may want to wait for the official ones to drop.

Re: FBG Ratings Videography

Dan brings alot of great ideas to the table with his ratings, i mean really, why would a company not have a scout/former scout on the payroll to handle player ratings?

I actually signed the petition to have Dan as the new ratings czar, however the chance EA signs off on that, i would range from slim to none.

I think best case scenario for future madden's is if ratings are handled in a way closer to fifa where there is a much larger ratings stretch, and players in the 60-70's are quiet common and useful.

You really believe that? Why do professional scouts give him their ratings? Their work is their livelihood, and they are usually work under an exclusive contact for a single team. Lots of hot air in the FBG universe.

Yes, I do. It's not that hard to believe that someone might have a connection with an NFL scout out there. Dan has been around the game in many different capacities throughout his life, so I'm pretty sure that it more than plausible that he might have built some relationships with people in that buisness.

What is his end game if he was lying anyway? To be a popular name on OS forums? Not really sure that the amount of work entailed with maintaining a website site and dealing with baseless accusations from individuals such as yourself would justify the reward.

You don't have to take anything I say as truth if you do not want to, as no amount of data or proof will be enough to convince everyone; just ask the Flat-Earthers.

Re: FBG Ratings Videography
