LOL. Exactly how I felt when looking at the ratings.
Every time around this year I think about what 2K would be releasing...
OBJ at 93 vs Julio at 98 and AB at 97
OV and JPP at 88 vs Brandon Graham at 95
That's just goofy.
Back in 1998 my buddies and I played a season in Madden where I randomly drew the Detroit Lions as my team. I resolved to give Barry Sanders the ball an inhuman amount.
So a bunch of us are hanging out and I'm getting a game in with one of the other guys. As I'm reaching for my beer after Barry's 25th run of the first half I hear someone say, "He's not getting up." In horror I look up to see a broken Barry Sanders lying motionless on the field. Over everyone else's laughter someone else says, "Bring out the ambulance!" You'll remember that the ambulance was usually the indicator of the severity of the injury...
Out the ambulance came. In all my years of playing video games that's as horrified as I've ever been by a single moment.
I never realized until getting this pic that the NFL made EA remove the ambulance!
lol awesome

"We incorporated accurate attendance for all the teams, and Jacksonville always had these terrible turnouts," says one producer. "The Jags owner got all pissed off when he heard there were empty seats when you played as his team in the game. The team called the NFL and we had to fix it immediately."
He was very vocal about the Raiders moving to Las Vegas. Here's an article from a couple months ago:
Madden - ( New Window )
Eli Apple was a rookie and was labled an 83 (or 82). After a solid rookie campaign, no he wasn't great, but he drops six points? Is there a thoughful algorithm here or just slapping anything that sticks?
Oh and Eli was a low 80s last year too coming off a 35 TD season.
