EA Sports & NFL - Tracking Player Movement, Looking to Revolutionize Madden Ratings


During Thursday Night NFL football games, the NFL has been tracking player attributes, such as speed, acceleration, movement direction and jump height with chips embedded into shoulder pads of various NFL players. According to Polygon's, Samit Sarkar and Madden "Ratings Czar" Donny Moore, this data could be released to EA Sports to "potentially revolutionize" player ratings.

It probably won't happen any time soon, since the NFL is only tracking a handful of players, but it's fun to speculate.

Source - NFL tracking player movement data that EA says could 'revolutionize' Madden ratings (Polygon)
Platform: PS3 / Wii U / Xbox 360

That's some great news and bodes well for the future.

On the flip side, even the most useful information left in the bumbling hands of EA will most surely result in abject disappointment.

Here comes the hype for M14.....

Forgive me, but I have 0 faith in the possibility of EA using this technology correctly. It sounds cool tho.

I know I can't be the only one that lol'ed while reading this. While the NFL data tracking sounds phenomenal, the notion that EA Tiburon gives an eff about Madden ratings being accurate, ie realistic, is hilarious, lol.
