    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 should are too knee-jerk IMO.

    My sentiments exactly. I'm not a fan of the weekly update and think it's based way too much on NFL Red Zone, ESPN highlights, social media, etc. I had hoped these weekly knee-jerk reactions would come to an end since Donny Moore has departed, but that was probably foolish (wishful) thinking on my part.

    A couple years back I read a blog by Madden Manniac where he tracked the weekly roster updates throughout the year. The link is below, should anyone be interested in reading it.

    I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving last week.  This blog post will continue my series of tracking increases and decreases throughout t...

      I'd like needed ratings adjustments made on a weekly basis (example: Joe Randle made an effortless one handed catch yet had a 40 something spectacular catch).

      Also injuries and transactions.

      Annoying that injuries aren't enforced online....

        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

          Did they fix Mariota's DEV or is he still Madden worthless?

          It really bothers me that you can go into any draft and get 3rd and 4th round qbs that have better overalls and better stats than Mariota (2nd overall pick) who is clearly a superstar of the future.

            Thanks for the off topic personal attack on a public message board.

            Isn't this kind of thing against the rules around here?

                Are you really sure he's clearly a superstar of the future?

                  Madden just needs to find a way to tie the overall ratings of each player to other players on the team some how. I dont know how it would work but it proble could be done. I mean as an example James Jones isnt really 4 overall better then he was before the season started he didnt all of the sudden knock massive time off his 40 or grow new hands that catch better. He just gained an Aaron Rodgers which made him 4 overall better. Madden needs to find a way to reflect this in game play as a good QB should make his recivers better. Just like a good O line makes his QB better and running back better. Same goes on Defense a good pass rush helps the secondary in coverage and good D line can take up blockers to help linebackers be in a better position for a takle. But once again im not sure how to implement this or what ratings would be fixed and what ratings would change based on players around them.

                    He had one great game against the worst team from last year. I'd hold off on buying fabric for those superbowl banners just yet.

                      I would still prefer updates on week 4, 8, 12, 16, and final Superbowl.

                      Though I guarantee, the arguments would still be excessive. That's why we truly need FBG rosters to take over from this weekly overreactive nonsense.

                        totally agree with you regarding injuries but one catch doesnt mean anything....consistency and trends do. i'm a birds fan, kiko alonso had a one handed interception vs ATL. should his catching go up because of one play? I say no...his decent catch rating is based on the fact that he had 4 picks as a rookie. He exceeds that this year we'll talk....otherwise? NAH.

                        I don't like this whole "overreact to minutiae" politic-for-my-team, highlight driven ratings stuff. The next time Randle drops the ball should his catch rating drop? again...trends, not one play assessments. FYI: Randle has 15 catches for his career (in 30 games) so he's not exactly a pass catching back juuuuust yet.

                          He was at Okh state though but in large part I agree.

                          Why is head to head such a neglected aspect on this game. It's literally never been worse, enforcing injuries would at least make it somewhat enjoyable - sheesh.

                            no clue, agree with you. played a guy with GB the other day who made like a 25yd catch with Randall Cobb, that wasnt good enough I guess....he immediately paused the game and put Jordy in, all I could do was laugh.

                              EDIT: Sorry, I see this stuff was already covered (several times) earlier in the thread.


                              I realize I'm in the minority here, but these weekly changes laughably encapsulate the modern-day sports fan's overreaction to blips on the radar.

                              AP gets "worse" because his team played an all-around terrible game and he only touched the ball 10 times?

                              The whole idea of adjusting ratings on a weekly basis ignores the fact that players (and humans in general) are prone to good days and bad days.

                              Why must we overreact to the most recent thing we just witnessed rather than considering a larger and more comprehensive body of work?

                                Dan Marino was a superstar without banners. There have been plenty, even if briefly. But I am not actually basing it on one game, there are a lot of signs pointing towards his future (barring injury) and even if he isn't a future superstar, do you really think the Titans should be able to draft a QB in the 3rd or 4th round next season that is better than what we have seen up to this point with Mariota?

                                *Just a personal note: I would have traded the #2 pick, and still would.
