At least, on the positive side, those ratings are pretty easy to raise in CFM, unless EA fixed the system

So this is already starting out good:

Teddy vs Johnny

Throw power: Johnny by 2 points. - Correct me if I'm wrong, but Teddy was considered to have the best arm out of the 3 QBs, and he has a weak arm in this game by Madden's standards. Okay.

Short Accuracy: By the numbers Teddy was hands down the best short thrower. However, they both have the same SAC.

Medium Accuracy: Seems about right. Teddy has the higher MAC, being 7 points ahead of Johnny Football whose sitting at a 75. Out of the Top 3 QBs, Johnny had the worst MAC by far and Teddy the best, by the numbers.

Deep Accuracy: Johnny is rightfully rewarded for being the best deep thrower out of the top 3, coming in at an 82. Bridgewater, whose numbers were less than 1% below the average comes in at a 69! Are you serious? Looking at the metrics Johnny should be punished more for his MAC than Teddy should for his DAC. The numbers say Bridgewater is a little off on his deep ball, and Johnny is WAY off on his MAC, and Teddy ends up with a 13 point difference between his deep ball and Johnny's deep ball? On the other end Johnny is only punished by a 7 point difference for his MAC compared to Teddy. Can they seriously just fire Donny Moore already? I'm so tired of him half assing ratings. Quit guessing you turd.

Yeah the accuracy ratings for Manziel and Bridgewater shocked me. I expected Manziel to have a high 70s short accuracy, a low 70s to high 60s medium accuracy, and a high 70s maybe 80 deep accuracy.

The deep accuracy rating on Bridgewater is obnoxious in my opinion. I don't see a reason for a deep ball rating that low.

Cutler only 85 toughness? Don't care how good or bad you think he is but he is tough as nails.

I always feel like he gets short-changed in speed ratings. I won't go as far as saying he is athletic as Rodgers, but I think the gap is closer than the ratings indicate. I can remember him running the option when he was in Denver

# 66 Dr. Poe @ 08/03/14 09:54 PM

How in the world is t-Suggs not a top player for the ravens.

# 67 gator3guy @ 08/03/14 10:31 PM

Defensive linemen speed ratings seem out of control.

I also need to stay away from reading the comments in these threads. All the homerism is making my head hurt.

From ESPN:

"2. Downfield passing
After Bridgewater�s pro day, questions emerged about his accuracy and velocity on downfield passes.

Bridgewater�s statistics in his final college season confirm the scouts' concerns. He completed 39.1 percent of his passes thrown 20 yards or farther downfield, the second-lowest percentage of the top 10 QB prospects ranked by Scouts Inc.

The issue is arm strength. As noted above, Bridgewater is one of the most accurate quarterbacks in the nation on intermediate passes, but when he has to throw it farther downfield, the ball tends to hang in the air."

http://espn.go.com/blog/statsinfo/po...dy-bridgewater

So that's probably why his arm strength and deep accuracy weren't great. Manziel doesn't have a great arm in terms of strength either, but they probably had to bump it up a bit so that he could make the deep throws because in Madden, a QB with low throw power tends to underthrow on deep balls even if they have high accuracy.

# 69 GarrisonGrant @ 08/03/14 11:31 PM

Some of these ratings are brutal, and really stupid. I was anxious to see how my Jags are gonna look. Not so much anymore.

Those in online leagues: these are the players you get for cheap, keep for cheap, and they make a big impact.

Well with Colt's cocaine charges/habits it makes perfect sense there lol. The rest IDK

I would love to know why ESPNs stats don't match up with Rotoworlds stats.

Madden's Speed ratings in general are out of control. It seems that near everyone is rated 90+ speed these days.

They gave Adrian Peterson 97 speed (yet again). These ratings are basically just a popularity contest for the most part. It's pretty funny seeing some of the ppl they have him as being faster than

# 74 CT Pitbull @ 08/04/14 04:56 AM

I must repeat what was already said..The speed ratings in this game have skewed the gameplay on the field for YEARS now in this series..

Like I said FBG to the rescue please! Hopefully both PS4 and XB1 can get a couple teams together on here to enter the ratings into the game as soon as possible after M15 releases

Could be that one of them is measuring how far passes are from the line of scrimmage while the other is measuring how far the pass physically travels in the air, and could also be that maybe ESPN didn't account for drops in theirs. Idk. Or maybe passes that rotoworld thought were drops, ESPN disagreed on.

# 76 seanhazz1 @ 08/04/14 08:17 AM

I hope Madden placed more importance on intangibles awareness and play recognition and players being in the right position to make a play over the straight line speed/agility so many of us have used as a a measuring stick for years.

Agree except for Jimmy Smith. Smith was better than Webb down the stretch last year. I'd at least think that Smith should have garnered somewhere between an 85 - 88 ovr. His man coverage and accel should be higher.

Thing I don't like about the ratings is really for online connected career. Brandon Williams and all those guys have terrible ratings LOL and they are starting this year. What Donny needs to do is at least swap ratings once he sees who wins training camp battles. He can already swap Brandon Williams and Cody now. Cody might not even make the damn team, yet he's rated higher than the guy who is going to take his position and it aint even close. Terrance Cody 73 ovr with 97 strength LOL. He's not that strong. Brandon Williams on the other hand is a tank and benches 550 with no problem. What's his strength? 90. He's a 67 ovr with 90 strength. At least make Williams a 73 ovr with 97 strength. Watch Cody get bounced from the league and Donny will still have him at 73 ovr LOL

Mosley is like a top 10 Madden LB out of the gate. those coverage ratings are ridiculous.

why would they rate Manziel's catching higher then his carry skills because I think that his carry should be around 75 and his catch around 50 because I do not remember him catching a lot of passes in college.

Agreed. I don't have any issue with our linebackers. I just have an issue with Jimmy Smith and guys on our defensive line. I get that they are going to need to prove themselves this season, but some things should already be evident from physical standpoint. Terrance Cody is hanging on by a damn thread to make the team, has a 97 strength in Madden. Since when did this guy ever show that kind of strength? Never did. Not even close. He's just fat. Brandon Williams on the other hand, Bench Presses 525 http://www.baltimoreravens.com/news/...f-14671dca3116 there is evidence to show that. Why can't he get the appropriate strength rating in the game for that? I know why, because then he'd be stronger than their favorite guys. Well he is.

This guy will be starting for us this year, not Cody and already from a physical standpoint he should be rated better than Cody. Hell with limited time as a rookie, Williams did something that Cody has not since he's been in the league, namely register a QB sack. Anyways...
