Have Questions on Madden 25 Ratings? VSN Set to Interview Ratings Czar Donny Moore!

[MrBill]

The podcast team will be talking Madden NFL 25 ratings with EA's ratings czar, Donny Moore on the afternoon of Monday 8/19. Post any questions that you have for him in this thread. We'll do our best to get to all of them.

Reggie Bush ovr, Ziggy Ansah's ovr and a few key attributes (bsh, fmv, pmv, hit power, etc.), and most importantly...will Matt Ryan still play like a bum this year? Lol

ask about the difference b/t PRC and AWR for offensive and defensive players and how it effects each position...

 

[x0xHumblex0x]

:wtf2:

They've updated them almost, if not weekly throughout the season for the past two Madden's.

I need to know why Flacco only has 82 deep throw accuracy.

So you can feel the pain I had with Matt Ryan this year you bastard. :shifty:

Should be pretty spot on.

I think he must be referring to the updates to the online franchise player ratings. Those have been few and far between. Really not a big issue for us since we start in September and the subsequent updates are not needed.

I'd say those are some pretty solid ratings that I agree with. If that awareness is brought up to the 70's-80's he could be in the mid-high 80's in overall. Gonna have some fun this year. :yep:

Ahhh touche. Like you said though, we usually just wait for the first update and then begin the franchise.

I use this site and have a speed chart for Madden that coincides with it.

http://www.nfldraftscout.com/ratings/dsprofile.php?pyid=91923&draftyear=2013&genpos=DE

well anyway on the speed chart a 4.56 combine time = 83 speed

It does appear EA nailed his speed perfect. I’m curious if they (EA) are starting to use actual combine numbers for their rookies now because in years past they always assigned a speed rating 5-10 points higher than the actual players speed in order to boost his overall rating.

If this was Madden 08 I’m willing to bet Ansah would have been rated a 88 overall speed. I’m going to check their rookies out this year and see if EA is starting to utilize draftscout as a resource. If that is the case kudos to them for finally taking the next step to get us closer to actual physical player ratings.

I could only imagine with correct or proper ratings and the arcade stuff being assigned how this game might play on the New Systems coming out.

Is a player's speed based completely on his 40 time?

 

[Aso]

I need to know why Flacco only has 82 deep throw accuracy.

82 is not a bad deep accuracy rating. I think 89 is the highest of any QB right?

 

[Golden Taters]

To expand on this...I would love to know how AWR effects user controlled QBs.

Also, can anybody's ratings be edited by the commissioner in a online Connected Franchise?

Do runningbacks regress more in their 30's then they did in Madden 13? I seen too many backs be good for too long.

Why has pass/run block footwork been removed? Did it not have any affect before?

Will next-gen use a similar player rating model or are you guys looking at something entirely different?

Why is kick power and accuracy the same thing for both punter and kickers? Those are 2 completely different positions.

How much does the Pre-Season change how a player will be rated, mainly for the rookies?

 

[Golden Taters]

Also, if you could ask how importing draft classes will work regarding ratings that would be awesome.

 

[MrBill]

The cutoff for questions will be tomorrow at 2PM central.

 

[w4mvp]

Please ask him when the free agent ratings will be released (if they haven't already been released along with the defensive players on monday)

 

[Playmakers]

You should ask him how come special teams is never given any attention to in Madden.....I know you guys have to ask certain things in these interviews and not every question gets answered but I think this is a valid question that EA tends to sweep under the rug every year. I would really like to know how come they have yet to find away to make Kick/Punt Return specialist effective in Madden and why do they have a Return rating assigned to all players if it doesn't really factor into the actual gameplay? Maybe they should expand on the ratings for Kick Returners such as field awareness + vision because as it stands right now 90% of the time they don't look to avoid defenders and a guy like Devin Hester or J.Cribbs has never been a factor in field position for Madden. Also, you should ask him how come Long Snappers never make mistakes in the game, how come we always struggle to see blocked kicks or punts and have they ever though about how their actual ratings tie into certain animations that rigger on the field. For example the less the strength assigned to the Offensive Lineman ratings the more likely you'll see realistic Pass Rush animations trigger...things like Offensive Linemen being pushed backwards or off balance. Ask him to go back and fire up a old Packers or Eagles game and watch Reggie White and then ask him if he's ever seen that type of power rush play out in any version of Madden to date.

 

[MrBill]

Lots of good questions guys! I'll be adding new ones to the list until 2PM central this afternoon.

Will there be a roster update on Friday along with the patch?
