So does this mean we are back to QB's completing 100% of their passes? I really hope not.

Coming from a Lions fan, Rodgers is clearly the best QB in the league. While Brady may be as accurate as Rodgers; you won't see Brady complete 2 Hail Mary's just to keep his team in the game.

Is Cam faster then Russel Wilson? Cam 86 speed Russel Wilson 85.

I'm a Panthers fan btw. I'm always amazed at how fast Russel Wilson is. Cam is a great runner but it's a combination of SIZE AND SPEED whereas Russel Wilson is pure speed.

As far as the OVR's the athleticism of the mobile QB's pushes their ratings above the statues like Brady. Brady is the best pure passer but Cam/Rodgers athleticism is what is boosting their ratings. If you check the individual ratings categories this holds true where Brady has the best pure passing ratings.

Oh and for the record, I think Brady deflated the footballs and he destroyed his cell phone on purpose, and I STILL think he's the best QB of the the past 10-15 years and possibly the greatest ever.
Just because a receiver made a play doesn't mean Rodgers just did nothing on those plays. You can't tell me Brady would be able to roll out to his left and heave a bomb 60 yards to the perfect spot to even give his guy a chance. Maybe 30 year old Brady could, but 38 year old Brady can't. Rodgers has a better deep ball, and I think that gives him the edge over Brady.

Lets cut the crap fellas Romo is the best QB in the league, and that's just me being strictly bias.


But on a serious note the DAC rating increase is more then likely a change due to the new defensive improvements and ball physics, this game would get slammed hard if upon release gamers went an entire game and no deep balls were caught.

Stop, Rodgers is clearly the best QB in the NFL, and I can make the case for all time as well. The numbers back it up. Brady is the product of BB. And I am convinced the Pats' cheating goes deeper than anyone realizes, they just haven't been caught yet.

That was the least biased and most logical post yet. [emoji23]

Rodgers is clutch as hell too, his problem is that he scores too quickly, and the D gives it right back. Rodgers is the best QB to ever play the game (There I said it), and no one can convince me otherwise.

#1 Brady's the best QB in the league with a few being close (arod ,Newton ,Big Ben )but Brady the best passers hands down . Madden gives in the ovr the running abilities witch seems to be why Cam and arod just up with Brady !

#2 So in a madden game this seems fine becuse when it comes to passing you should feel the accuracy diffrence hopfully .

#3 hey Kane could you tell us about the deep accuracy increase ? And are the QB inaccuracy still in game ? Will we feel Brady's 98 short accuracy vs cams 95 ? Ratings are one thing but will we feel the diffrence in the ratings ?
 
# 30 charter04 @ 07/21/16 01:39 PM
I know this is only 5 players but, it seems like they just changed the overall formula but, the actual individual rating seem just as high if not higher.

So if there are fewer 90+ players but, the ratings are basically the same and all that's different is the formula makes there less high overalls then nothing will change on the field.

Just my opinion based on a small sample

My hope is that they changed the "dice roll" formula to where a 90 in DAC is equivalent to 70 in last years game or something like that.

If Drew Brees is rated below 90, I'm not buying this game. J/K As for Tom Brady, we'll see how good he really is after these first 4 games, or is it the system. Remember Matt Cassel.
 
# 33 Yazan Gable @ 07/21/16 01:56 PM
I will be severely disappointed when they reveal that Philip Rivers is still worse than Andy Dalton even though he was the only starter left standing in that Chargers offense and was making accurate throws in horrific pockets while Andy got to take tea breaks in his pocket while throwing to AJ Green, Tyler Eifert, Mohamed Sanu and Marvin Jones while handing off to Giovani Bernard and Jeremy Hill.

Brady is the best quarterback in the league in the way that Peyton Manning was the best QB in the league last year: reputation and past accomplishments. Brady is still a great QB, but he's not the best. Aaron Rodgers has been the best for years now. Russell Wilson, Ben Roethlisberger and Cam Newton all belong in Brady's air space in terms of being in the upper echelon of great QBs along with Drew Brees and Philip Rivers.
 
# 34 redsox4evur @ 07/21/16 02:04 PM
I agree with Rodgers over Brady for right now. He can do everything that Brady and more. He is Brady with more athleticism and maybe a little worse in those check down throws. But give me Brady all time (over everyone).

Just using the three QB's that were on both 16 and 17's list:

Aaron Rodgers

OVR: M16-99 M17-96
THP: M16-94 M17-98
SAC: M16-94 M17-96
MAC: M16-92 M17-94
DAC: M16-80 M17-90
TOR: M16-88 M17-95

Tom Brady

OVR: M16-97 M17-94
THP: M16-94 M17-94
SAC: M16-96 M17-98
MAC: M16-97 M17-98
DAC: M16-70 M17-84

Ben Roethlisberger

OVR: M16-95 M17-93
THP: M16-94 M17-95
SAC: M16-87 M17-95
MAC: M16-90 M17-96
DAC: M16-73 M17-90
STR: M16-85 M17-82

So the overalls are lower despite all three being better at everything across the board (and drastically better on DAC) sans Roethlisbergers STR and Brady's THP.

That's what I was thinking. So when they say there are less 90 overalls this year what does that even mean. All this guys might be 99 over or close to it in the old system.

At least with these guys the lower overall just seems to be number that is calculated different

The deep accuracy is weird to me, I dunno why they aren't sticking with last years "qb inaccuracy feature"
They most likely tuned it to so 95 dac is last years 80

I'll believe it when I play it
 
# 40 SolidSquid @ 07/21/16 02:46 PM
Glad ratings are lower, the problem is where will they be after the first 2 roster updates? In the past everyone that's having ONE good season has shot up to the 90s
