Our first round picks, in action and in uniform


Recommended Posts

Wood is a 71? Jesus, that worse than Jon Dorenbas.

 

Madden (finally) stretched out the ratings this year. Gone are the days when every player is rated between 78 and 99. This year, we are supposed to see player ratings that actually mean something, so 90's are reserved for the best players, 80's for good players, 70's for average players, and 60's and 50's for below average or backup caliber players.

Good. Bout time. It seemed like before all the sucky players were 75-78.

i know questioning any of this is futile, but looking at Wood's numbers, should he be an 81?!

 

how does 84, 82, 81 and 76 turn out a 71 overall?

 

maybin's numbers actually average out, kinda, 87, 73, 72, 84 for a 78 overall

So EA can't do math OR research - doesn't bode well for Madden 10...

The Madden frnachise is terrible. It would have been beaten by the Sega 2k Sports brand, which had better graphics, animation, and playability. EA bought the exlusive rights from the NFL / NFLPA and eliminated a smaller but better competitor.

Perhaps because Madden uses something like 15 attributes, not just the 4 that were shown.

That was a much better game, playing wise. But they got shut out.

Yup. Every year the game is pretty much exactly the same with a minor tweak here or there. I guess it is difficult to revamp a winning formula every year, but something new would be nice.

 

Doesn't matter though, tecmo super bowl is still the greatest!
