Madden NFL 16 Player Ratings - Top 5 Tight Ends

[VdaStampede]

You won't find too many out there who love Gronk more than I do, but a 99 is simply absurd. The released ratings are working against a Madden purchase for me right now.

From what I've seen so far I'm going to have drop every Pats rating by 20 or 30 for a rebuilding challenge

I agree with much of what you have to offer, but this right here is where you lose me. You just can't make an argument in any way that Marshall is a better player or that Watt should be rated so much higher

Madden has 1-100 scale but the average player is like 83 on these games, instead of being in the 50's. So really madden uses like a 1-40 scale. For the life of me I don't understand why they don't use the whole scale.

I'm sorry if you can't wrap your brain around that, but the data doesn't lie.

So based on the data you collected, Brandon Marshall should be rated better than Gronkowski. It has nothing to do with madden, I cant wrap my head around that as nobody would rate Marshall better than gronkowski.

Theres no point in the ratings if you cant differentiate that gronk should be rated higher than marshall.

If a fan sees that Gronkowski is rated an 82, they will obviously criticize the game. Nobody wants too see their favorite player rated low. Not every player is a hardcore madden player like on this forum. There has to be a compromise.

You made your point there, his rosters aren't for casuals. They're for guys who'd rather play the closest thing we can get to a sim game without staring at numbers.

Personally, I'd love to see my favorite player rated low if it meant that it would help the gameplay overall. Just my .02

Dude, I'm not attacking you, I'm trying to understand how on any planet anyone could think the one player is better than the other. For a person trying to get his ratings recognition, you're being a bit of a D.

The problem here is that the ratings are wrong.

Also you say that the whole point is to show that certain players are "WAY ABOVE" others

Is Tom Brady really 18 points above Roethlisberger? The gap is simply too high.

I understand his roster is not for casuals. Thats my entire point, do you honestly believe that EA would throw away all of their ratings and just take these numbers as the way to go where Brandon Marshall is an 87?

That would be crazy.
