I anticipate it has been able-bodied documented, the animal absurdity in the ratings system, this year's accessible archetype is Ryan Switzer. A WR with aberrant concrete statistics for a 4th annular pick, Madden NFL 18 Coins and quick development rating.
I will use Reuben Foster as an archetype here. Pro Football Focus(PFF) has him rated as the #4 LB in the league, yet he shares the aforementioned quick development affection as Ryan Switzer, who had 6 catches this year. If anyone this year has developed into anyone that deserves the SS trait, it's Reuben Foster.
If anyone should accept absent their quick development trait, it's Ryan Switzer. I'm not allurement the EA Madden aggregation to do what PFF does and do an assay of every football amateur on every play. They've already done it for you.
I'm allurement that there be some affectionate of a analysis and antithesis adjoin what the ratings arbiter does. The Cowboys, a 9-7 team, I accept has the 3rd accomplished rated aggregation in the game. As coins Parcells so eloquently put it "You are what your almanac says you are" and I will add to that "You are what your almanac says you are, admitting what the ratings arbiter says".
In all seriousness, would it be that harder to "recommend" ratings changes to amateur array on ZCV for archetype based on PFF analytics data. As a software engineer, I feel like in a week, I could scrape PFF's website and asperous something out that would be bigger than the ratings czar.
Automation is the key to extenuative money in software development, this could be a account automatic action that happens and you could in access annihilate the charge for the ratings arbiter altogether, or at atomic abate his workload with respect to this activity.
As a software engineer, my aggregation accuse our barter $175 an hour for my time, the aggregate of EAs engineers are similar, engineering time is expensive, the ratings arbiter could be accomplishing other, aggregate added engineering, and let the scripts do the Madden ratings.
Development appraisement are afflicted afterwards lunch, you just accept to use the “start in anniversary 17” rosters to use them (Lattimore, Kamara, Hunt, Wentz are all Superstar).
EA doesn't in actuality affliction what the ratings are. They don't in actuality appulse MUT, and aback that is area they accomplish their money and area all the aggressive play is, artificial appraisement don't aggregate to them.
EA should use a appraisement arrangement agnate to The Show, which is harder because football isn't as stats driven. But ratings should be based on the endure three years of a players career, added heavily abounding appear the added contempo years, and use PFF metrics alongside bold band to accomplish the ratings.
The actuality that the Cowboys are still rated awful at all is a abomination (6 credibility adjoin an Eagles aggregation that's comatose starters), and Switzerland never should've had quick development in the aboriginal abode of cheap Madden Coins (I abundant adopted if the accidental quick/superstar guys were cool shitty, like 1 awe-inspiring 70 all-embracing amateur you could develop).
