Good interview. I'm glad they have worked on the OVR rating.

In many ways, I wish they would just do the ratings in the intervals/tiers they've programmed that the player will animate/play differently during gameplay.

If it takes a 15pt difference before we will see a WR route run less sharper than another, then set the editing intervals at that.

All these in-between numbers that show no visual difference during gameplay, is a waste of time if said player will still play the same (AI wise) even after a couple pts have increased/decreased.

With whatever they're doing/going to do, there has to be a greater visual "gameplay" display of player differentiation in M17.

Baby steps. They only have so much time per cycle. This is going in the right direction it seems.

Love that below average starters will be in the low 70s or high 60s.

I personally hate it. Hopefully one day they will use a true 0-100 scale and below average starters will be in the 30s (like how Front Office Football does their ratings). This is a start though, so I am happy for that.

This is exactly why I'm in favor of hiding true ratings and giving up letter ratings. So an 85 and 80 spec catch receiver would both have B spec catch ratings but the 85 would be more successful more often than the 80

I would love to see that, it would force me to experiment more with my starting lineup if I have two guys with similar ratings and my starter is playing poorly. I'm most likely never going to yank a guy with ratings in the high 70s in favor of a guy in the low seventies, but substituting letter grades forces you to figure out who is better on the field instead of just looking at numbers

Re: Madden 17 Developer Interview Series

Agreed. Greater disparity is better

This could be Good unless sim doesn't account for lower minute quarters(That would be disastrous.Players ratings would be dropping left and right

When do ratings drop

I think the running back tier system getting diffrent animation is a great way of going ! But they should of did the same with Def pass rush . Top player get better rush Animation .

Better yet I say go traits like 2k did . Trait base and teir based ! With some players having there real signature animation !

A dev (not sure which one) said all simming aims for 115 plays regardless of selected quarter length

I liked what Dustin said about how a 90ovr type player won't go up the next week just because he has a good game and that only guys like a Devonta Freeman last year who really broke out would see a good jump in ratings.

John White did in a tweet. We worked on that in Austin. Super Sim is scaled to 120-125 plays per game, not quarter length.

Re: Madden 17 Developer Interview Series

I reckon a one or two point difference in a particular rating has a bigger effect on dice roll results than animation diversity, so in essence there would be an inherent difference between an 84 and 86 RTE, no?
