Madden NFL 16 Roster Update For Week 2 Available Now

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

Issuing roster updates on a weekly basis for player movement is one thing, which I am totally cool with.

However, making changes to ratings based off of weekly performance is complete crap. Stats should have nothing to do with rating attributes. Ever. Professional scouts don't have a "production" grade that they issue to players, so why should we change a player's grade (rating in Madden) based upon that? It doesn't follow. If EA really wants to make this game replicate the NFL, they need to consider the fact that most scouting departments and services won't even evaluate a player within a month-to-month period, nonetheless a WEEKLY period. At the very most, do re-rates on a monthly basis, not a weekly one.

EA can't win for losing, if they didn't update each week then this site would be howling with people about how EA doesn't give a crap about the game and they should be giving us more updates, but then they do weekly updates and it's "too reactionary".

Normally I don't like name calling either but the poster who said this site is full of whining babies isn't far off the mark I think...smh..

Again, it's not that any of these arguments are invalid or don't have serious merit, it's just not looking at what a "live" video game is versus the sport itself. This is a game serving many communities during the course of a season.

There's been similar conversations with Diamond Dynasty mode in MLB The Show this year, and people have actually been more frustrated certain guys aren't going up or down more during the year. And baseball obviously is the king of trying to make it about more than your base "production" stats. The general thought goes back to "it's not about how good they are for their career, but how good people think they are in this moment during this season." It's like do I think Brandon Crawford will hit 25 home runs every year from now on? No, but this year he is doing it and should get a power boost in accordance.

My general feeling is if this isn't hurting your actual ongoing franchise modes etc. it's something that has its place in a video game trying to retain some intrigue throughout the year.

When the offseason hits, then obviously it's not like you should say well "X player ended as this rating so he starts next year at the same rating." Then at that time you actually look and assess and actually try to rate these guys fairly based on their body of work. I know the argument then becomes that "well you invalidate this work the moment you change things after Week 1" and I get that. What I would still say is if you get the general "baseline" rating right at least you're starting from a good place in Week 1.

I agree EA is in a catch 22. If they don't update they will get drilled for doing nothing, if they update they get drilled for doing it to often. I tend to side with EA on this one, its better to do the ratings adjustment from week to week and keep the online side mirroring the current week of the NFL.

Now with that said, I much rather static physical ratings and floating awareness ratings based on current production. So for me Dan's rating ideas I'm much more inline with and I feel for starting a CFM (if the draft rookies followed same scale) would be the best direction for madden.

This just further proves why we need the ability to edit & create the draft classes. Then none of this becomes a issue because you can download any community created draft classes & rosters. EA continues to supply the online community with week to week rating adjustments and CFM guys have their own rosters/ratings.

Romo should be higher than Roethlisberger. Romo already has better stats and plus last year Romo was cheated. Romo was number one in every category. Cowboy haters. And I don't understand why if they take the time to do each player's rating they can't do the player's equipment realistically

No way Winston should be that high...rooks get rated way too high in this game...thankfully, editing makes it a moot point

The fact that he's still "clutch" is hilarious.

I'd really like to see injuries enforced online but I bet their marketing team would have a cow!

There shouldn't be a next update until after week 4

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

I think roster updates should happen weekly but ratings updates should only happen every 4 weeks. Besides they are all ridiculous anyway with players magically getting faster and the like because they had good stats.

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

Orrr EA could do weekly updates for roster moves and update some generic faces, equipment and face scans and do the ratings over a period of say 4 weeks.

The problem is that we can't edit fully for the things that matter the most. Sure, we can drop the rookies prior to the start of the first season of a CFM, but after that, we can't edit the draft classes, so we are stuck with over-inflated rookies again.

We need to be able to edit more in CFM.

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

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

It's ok as long as you are defending EA.

This is what these threads breakdown in to every week. Player X on my favorite team should be rated higher.
