Madden 2010 Ratings

That was the biggest update yet, I think. Over 300 players. I hope you can get it posted soon, as I'm anxious to see how the rosters shift after this one.

Wow that was a huge update. Thanks for all your hard work on those this year. I have no doubt that it hs made Troy's job much easier.

Commish,

Should we expect to see these updates incorporated before the play-off sims?

Definitely made it easier. Thanks again.

Yeah, we'll keep updating the grades if update data given to us, and have them in prior to the next games simmed.

These grades have been updated now. Especially if your team is in the post-season double-check for your players and make sure updated as they should be, and let me know if any problems. I would have updated injuries but for some reason the NFL.com page for injuries not updated yet as it normally has been all year and during the playoffs last year. Hopefully just a temporary delay and they have the injury reports listed there soon.

The final update was released prior to the Super Bowl. I'll put it in a spreadsheet this morning.

Thanks. In keeping with how we've done it all year we'll update these grades prior to the next sim. I'll post previews tomorrow with both the new grades and new injury status updated (players injury levels get bumped twice in postseason once at start and once before super bowl with 2 weeks rest) as well as the new averaged updates. Then will give the playoff teams a day after those posted to contact me if they want to use real performance updates before big game simmed.

Grades have been updated, let me know if any problems.

Ratings are being released this year through ESPN's The Gamer Blog: http://espn.go.com/espn/thelife/videoga ... e/thegamer

Released yesterday are the Dolphins and Jets: http://espn.go.com/espn/thelife/videoga ... s-and-jets

They've done all the teams now? If so, I'll look at updating our grades to those soon. And for those new to the leagues, in previous seasons Madden has periodically updated their grades (sometimes weekly to start a season) and we'll upgrade ours right along with the changing objective evaluation of player grades. I suspect might get many changes following pre-season games and in early updates into the season to reflect new roles and new values. So the idea is not to use the grades as the end-all-be-all, but just a snapshot today and you have to evaluate for yourself if you think they are on the rise or decline toward future grades as we update with new evaluations always.
