Madden Ratings-QB

[big dog cowboy]

I'm sure John Madden, the man himself has extremely little to do with the game's development, if he ever did.
That guy is happily, happily retired, may he live forever.

"Electronic Arts founder Trip Hawkins conceived the series and approached Madden in 1984 for his endorsement and expertise. Because of Madden's insistence that the game be as realistic as possible, the first version of John Madden Football did not appear until 1988. EA has released annual versions since 1990, and the series' name changed to Madden NFL in 1993 after EA acquired the rights to use NFL teams and players. Despite Madden's retirement as a broadcaster in 2009, he continues to lend his name to and provide expertise for the game."

BTW they gave Murray 89 speed, He probably is a 79 at best in speed. These rankings are pointless.

Because went to the Eagles silly. That's like +10 speed

Uh huh, how much expertise? Got a link for that?
I maintain my stance, defiantly.

I thought I may just be wrong and dug further. While I wasn't able to find anything definitive, I was able to find something from 2014 in a USA Today article. Here's an excerpt:

"TODAY'S MADDEN

The myth? That Madden retired.

"He just retired from broadcasting — the only thing he's stepped away from,'' Mike Madden says.

The 78-year-old keeps his head in the game. He serves the NFL competition committee on the coach's subcommittee and the league's safety panel. Each Monday, he reviews the officiating and injury reels along with the coaches' "All-22" tape from every game.


USA TODAY

Bell: Steelers savor Ben Roethlisberger's hot streak

Sunday, Madden invited USA TODAY Sports to get his take on trends at the season's halfway point at his 8,000-square foot Goal Line Productions studio.

Madden draws up a numbered play sheet of games to match each screen. This Madden Command Center was his dream from the early 1980s when he first walked into CBS's New York City studio one Sunday off."








That old boy may just still be contributing... I rescind my defiant stance.

Yea I don't think Madden needs much help to sell

I quit buying it 5 years ago...

 

[John813]

His speed attribute last year was 94.

 

[Longboysfan]

Should this be under or on the Fantasy Sports board?

Madden is the reason why A) the game is 11 on 11 and B) it didn't come out until 1988. He was emphatic about making the game 11 on 11.

NFL.com said tony is a 93 overall. That's pretty good. Can't really nit pick over a point or two. But I haven't bought madden in a few years. Feel it's so repetitive.

I think overall ratings are overrated. The key ratings for QB is the arm strength/short-medium-long accuracy. The only difference between Romo and Brady could be awareness or some other minor attribute that differentiates them.

Exactly, since you control the qb on madden, the only ratings that matter are throwing power and accuracy. Those are the only attributes I scout for qb when I play franchise mode.

when i said madden i meant the video game franchise not the actual man lol, only involvement he probably has to do with it is cashing in the checks for using his name. lucky lucky man. will say i do miss his commentary on the game tho. him and Pat on the game back in the day was the best. best broadcasting team in the biz.

i remember seeing a documentary about how back in the day EA was struggling to create a good football game so they turned to him to draw up some plays for it and put his name on it and thats how madden was born.

I am talking about today. Not then. I already semi-retracted my statement anyway...

 

[coult44]

Can someone please explain to me how Romo isnt in the top 5 after last season, but Drew Brees is?

Where is our defense ranked? And where are our RBs ranked?

I can tell you from first hand experience that Madden hasn't had anything to do with the game in a long time other than lending his name....

madden.

if you have to go further than that then i put you in the category of people these days looking for petty reasons to be offended.

it's a game dude. if it bugs you, don't buy it.

 

[KJJ]

If Tony wins a Super Bowl, watch how fast he moves up.

That will be the only thing that will move him up and stop all the complaining.
