Re: Madden NFL 16 Roster Update For Week 2 Available Now

Dang, you guys are a bunch of whining babies. If a players steadily goes up or down during a season, EA follows the trend. This is one thing they do right, for God's sake. Are you telling me that if one of your rookie players has a breakout game, you don't want them to receive any type of recognition?

Very helpful post. Calling names is a good way to give an opinion that helps add to a discussion.

So basically giving an opinion that disagree's with something is being a "whining baby"? Good to know.

Madden NFL 16 Roster Update For Week 2 Available Now

I think the biggest issue is that these rating changes are just reactionary. However I think these are used mainly for online and supposed to reflect their skill or rating for that particular week. I would say that a trend needs to be set for huge rating boosts and a plus 1 or 2 rating doesn't really change things.

This is not a test.

And I guess I should clarify my issue with it. I don't have as much issue with things being changed that are pretty clear from week to week. Like if a QB clearly has a weaker arm than was assumed going into the season.

Or a rookie like Mariota that clearly might be better than we thought.

My biggest issue is the physical ratings changing from week to week. Randle should not have received a speed increase IMO. And I'm a Cowboys fan.

Also Murray and Peterson getting bumps just for an unproductive one week. Seemed to be more about the bad OL play and lack of carries.

I guess I would just like to know what the changes are based on.

I hope I can post this without being labeled a "whining baby" by some. Lol

I should have said, "awesome! Thanks EA!" Lol

Okay...we saw AP drag the entire defense twice right ? He hasn't played for over a year. He goes down?

Completely disagree. Horrible change Imo

Am i the only one that thinks its ridiculous to update ratings each week? Rating updates should be monthly anyone can have a bad/good week. Peyton down to 90 is ridiculous

Aside from today. Peyton was 6 td 7 int his last 7 games. 75 QBR. It was deserved.

Re: Madden NFL 16 Roster Update For Week 2 Available Now

These updates are silly. Why do they drop players or raise players just based on one week? So Murray gets no blocking and very few carries and his ratings drop? Same with AP.

I can maybe understand a guy like Mariota and Winston going up or down based on one game.

Alex Smith went up? Lol. Why? Tonight shows he's the same old Alex Smith.

And Randle got faster in week one? Lol

Just another reason EA's rosters are sub par at best.

Alex Smith is good,Denver has the best defense in the league in my opinion. Smith just had one bad throw and one insane int by Talib. I don't knock him this game, I knock Charles for the careless fumbles.

I was wrong about Joseph Randle. His speed is exactly the same as the last roster update. 87. I should have checked instead of going by second hand info. My mistake. He did get a bumb from the pre season roster to week one. 83 to 87

where do you see the changes? I looked at the link and don't see +/-

I think the point is to, more than anything, keep things fresh for online play/Draft Champions/Ultimate Team. It's like this in all the other sports games, lots of people enjoy seeing players going up and down.

Plus, as is always the case, it creates lots of conversation.

Unfortunately I don't see them highlighting the changes in the Excel sheet -- though I am looking at it via Google Sheets. This might be something we look into trying to highlight ourselves if they don't explicitly point it out themselves (unless I'm completely missing it like you).

Only thing that went up on Randle was his spectacular catch (for that effortless one hander he had).

Yea I was thinking about when his speed was 83 or 84 in the original rosters. I was mistaken

That had to have been an oversight in the first place. IMO Randle is an 87 speed, 89 agility, 88 Acceleration. Not nearly as fast as McFadden at top speed or getting there.

Re: Madden NFL 16 Roster Update For Week 2 Available Now

I dont like it either....one week ratings just isnt a large enough sample size. Its idiotic to raise a guy one week and lower him the next just to give him the same rating he had to begin with. (and knowing EA's infamous attention to detail undeserving guys will get incorrect ratings and it wont ever be fixed)

rating every 4 weeks is a much better idea. Then its based on actual trends and a much better window of production/performance. Thats 4 during the regular season..update rosters with equipment/depth chart changes, and new players weekly (and take players on IR off the roster entirely)...but weekly ratings changes are too knee-jerk IMO.

Pretty much nailed it.

I wish EA would take an authentic approach to player development and regression, but sadly I understand that Madden's market isn't always concerned with absolute realism. People like this stuff.
