Can you provide something here? Some evidence to show why you think this individual rating should go up here or there or whatever. Usually we'll have our marketing team kind of rally together and we'll talk. How do you guys deal with the unhappiness from the players? I mean guys will do it, but there are plenty of guys who are unhappy and they will make it very well known. Snacks Harrison pointed out that he was really happy. Dustin, the head ratings adjuster had an experience that he went to the Buccaneers camp last year and they told Lavonte David his grade and he just shook his hand and walked away.
Devonta Freeman put out a video on the Falcons thing that he was good with his ratings. One thing that I was wondering, players usually are just outspoken about everything because they have to be, but how many times do you guys get players that are like, "Oh I love my grade. We evaluate it ourselves and then we go from there. They explain what they're seeing and we ask questions. We hear something, they say, "Take a look at this film, break it down together." We go look at it. We're crosschecking all of our information and adjusting accordingly.

Throughout the season we've spent 5,000 hours combined between the two of us watching rookies this year, plus than studying all of the regular guys throughout the year and then revisiting, talking with NFL players if we have that opportunity, talking with experts, people who coach player groups or who study them very heavily. Yeah, every game multiple times, live and then all 22 afterwards. Are you watching like like every game? Like multiple times? How much film would you guys say you watch? You said you watch a lot of film. And when your accuracies are all over the place inherently he has to go down because that's just such a big part of the formulas for us. Last year specifically, his short accuracy was all over the place. So we can only base it off of the film we're seeing, and we saw a different Aaron Rodgers the past two years than we had seen in years past. His accuracy has gotten progressively worse over the past two years and while he might've been playing hurt, we can't really project how much that impacted him because we don't know everyone who was hurt and how much it impacted them on week to week basis. Rodgers has been kind of taking a bit of a downhill slope the past three years. I mean we do it for as many players as we can. So the Aaron Rodgers greatest basically based on his performance from last season?įor the most part, yeah. You said a lot of that is due to last year with little projection for next year. One thing I've noticed so far is a lot of reactions around the Aaron Rodgers grade. And one thing that we want to drive home in general is that each position has a different overall formula. So that was the main approach that we took on the quarterbacks and we knew that they were going to be stretched out. And as you can tell by Matt Ryan to Big Ben going from 89 an 85, I think we accomplished that best for our quarterbacks because there's only one per position starting. And so we really stretched that out to make those top players stand out more. You have your elite players, you have your good, very good guys, you have your league average solid guys and you have your low level starters, back ups, etc. So we did a rating stretch overall this year where we separated out the elite players from the rest of the players to really make them stand out. Was that on purpose? How did you guys come up with the quarterback rankings in general this year? And then we go from there.Ī lot of people have noticed that the quarterback seem to be skewed down. We go through a tremendous, tremendous amount of game film, and then we basically sit down and discuss who we think is better at individual skills and then we figure out whether that comes out to a rate overall formula or not.
And basically we come up with our yearly rankings based on a lot from last year, a little bit of projecting, just a little bit, and then seeing what if last year was more of an outlier based on the previous years and see what direction they're trending. I am an associate designer on Madden for game play and franchise and part of the roster and ratings team. Give me a rundown of what you do and kind of what goes into you guys make the initial rankings each year. I'm sure it's a very busy day for you guys.
