Are the Bills good in the game now? Yes, they do. No, not really. I was on there today for a bit. Tre White was rated 87 overall. Micah Hyde was 88 overall. Jordan Poyer 85 overall. Milano and Edmunds were both 79. Lorenzo Alexander was 83 overall. Ed Oliver was 80. I believe Phillips and Star we’re like 76. Josh was 76. Singletary 80. Brown was like 85 and Beasley was 83. For reference on Tre White (87) ... Stephon Gilmore was rated 98 overall. The team itself was roughly 85 overall I believe the defense had the same rating at 85, while the offense was around a 76. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are the Bills good in the game now? Yes they do. Singletary is the biggest improvement from the beginning of the season so far (72 to 80 overall). White will probably get another bump in the next update. Allen went from 74 to 78 I think, so he’s now ok to play with. Edmunds gained about 5 points up to 79 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheshireCT Posted December 19, 2019 Author Share Posted December 19, 2019 thanks guys, and as I understand in '20 they basically made all the players much lower than the past, right? just highlighting a few superstars and then everyone else sucks? So is this team decent in comparison to other teams? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Turk Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 (edited) Bet they still haven't fixed the three most glaring issues: 1) Muffed punts able to be returned for TD's by the kicking team 2) Teams having all 3 timeouts every time you reach the 2 minute warning and then the AI using them almost in exactly the same way every time. Would it really be that hard to force some realism into the game where users were forced to burn timeouts at times and the AI had to burn timeouts also, etc? 3) Players missing an assignment, like running the wrong route, blocking the wrong player, filling the wrong gap, etc...happens ALL the time, especially on undisciplined, poorly coached teams but seemingly the Madden robots know their assignments perfectly every play.

I have been boycotting buying madden until a good bills team hits. They weren't that hot the 9-7 year either.

Dkollidas Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Honestly. I just go through and edit guys to where I think they’re really at. For example, and the beginning of the year I made Tre an 87 or 88, by the end of my 2019 franchise he became a 93. Did the same, but opposite with Philip Rivers. Took him down to like an 86 at the beginning of the season. By the start of the 2020 season, age and performance took him down to an 80. mind you I play an off-line franchise mode so it’s me versus CPU every game no other players involved.

Madden 05 or NFL 2K5 were probably the peak of football gaming (or the last NCAA Football game). The current iteration of Madden is probably the worst of the main sports video games on the market. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt they'll probably need to figure out a way to get the college players to unionize or something or it'll be too complicated. Personally, I never really understood the need to use player likenesses, but that's just me. Once you get past the first couple seasons of a dynasty, it was all made up players anyways. I guess it must have been important to some people for them to bother with it though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it must have been important to some people for them to bother with it though. It made so much $$$ being a representation of the current teams is the reason I believe. It would be just as easy to do a knock-off version and catch a download someone created with a legit roster though. There were always guys who would usually have one out there available after a week of the game's release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffarukus Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 i keep trying. i just cant stop the "rubber banding" i score they score. they score i score. game obviously tries to keep the games artificially close to make it more "exciting". if you get a key first down that can end the game better believe that's when the first and only holding call will pop up. been playing lockdown D? the opposing offense cuts through it like cheese on the drive after you score. same with my o if they score. i don't use money plays and play sim as possible so if someone has a slider set that stops this let me know. it makes everything you do pointless in game.

Giuseppe Tognarelli Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 I don't play Madden, but I would bet big money that the Bills are the lowest-rated double-digit-win team. Anyone care to confirm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PoBills33 Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 I manage to win online with them against good opponents. Allen's misfires do kill me sometimes, but is realistic imo. Jordan Phillip's is only 74 OVR....snubbed by madden worse than the pro bowl voters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augie Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 ZERO judgment here, but I wonder who the oldest poster is here who plays Madden. Where is that break? Never played Madden, and the closest I’ve come was Super Mario about 20 years ago. Kids HAD TO HAVE IT, and I got ripped off by some toy store who violated the “standard price” agreement, then went out of business by New Years. BUT, I got the last one.... When did Madden start, and when did they last get new people to start? Yes, I’m almost as old as Plenz would lead you to believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r00tabaga Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 (edited) If Madden were “real” then the Cowboys would be undefeated. The love they get is unwarranted. Tre had 2 INTs on a primetime game and got bumped 1 today to 88 OVR. A joke. There are roughly 16 CBs ahead of him atm & some of those are trash. Allen was as high as 79 but down to 77. Gore is ahead of Singletary and that should tell you all you need to know about their Ratings Adjusters. Btw, the game is amazing otherwise! Best madden yet. For reference I’m 44....

Aaron Rodgers, Davante Adams, Aaron Jones? Vikings?? Cook, Thielen, Diggs, Smith, Barr, Cousins? Chiefs?? Patrick Mahomes, Kelce, Mathieu, Hill, Watkins? Texans? Watson, Hopkins, Watt?? Team ratings are based on player ratings. Every single player listed above deserves a higher or equal rating to their Bills counterpart. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NI Bills Fan Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 I've got it for my son, who's 10 this Christmas in the hope that the Bills are now good enough to make the gameplay enjoyable/manageable for him without having to play as a higher rated team to enjoy it - I couldn't possibly allow that! Madden 1990 is the reason I'm a Bills fan … I'm hoping he follows the same journey, he's taken more interest over the past couple of years and will be watching tomorrow night when Ed Oliver sacks Brady 3 times and we beat the pats!! Go Bills! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
