From Vikings.com:

Yowzers, those 2 immediately jump out at me. No love for those guys? Bridgewater came in at 78. You're telling me they think Cousins is just marginally better than Teddy and that Kendricks is basically the defensive version of Teddy?

Based on these ratings the Vikings might go 8-8 if you simulated a season.

And Russell Wilson ahead of Drew Brees? Really? Scrambling/mobility isn't factored into the overall QB rating in Madden, unless they've changed it, so that makes no sense. Accuracy, arm strength, and awareness I believe are the main 3, so they're saying Wilson is better than Brees?

And Foles down there at 80? Did they watch the playoffs? Are they saying it was a fluke?

In Madden 08, speed is a sizable factor to a QB's OVR. I think that applies to Madden 19 as well (Lamar Jackson is a 79 OVR). With Brees being slow and losing arm strength, I can understand Wilson having a higher rating. Cousins should be 85-87.

I imagine Foles' OVR was somewhere around 72-75 last season... they've probably given him a big uptick and called it a day. I think he should be 83-84 OVR.

wow! What the hell did I just watch? A guy fumbled while diving into the EZ untouched, then nobody could tackle Cook? That last guy looked like he was literally on top of him. I would like to see the sliders they were playing with because that all looked like rookie level stuff.

And in that 2nd clip they called that a "tip" lol? A 40 yard over the shoulder lateral? That's a game breaking bug right there. I imagine they'll get that fixed though. It is EA though, so you never know.

These are the kind of bugs always cooked into the code at the beginning of every release. How do they not test it out beforehand?

Yes he is. Dak Prescott is very good, possibly on pace to be an Hofer.

He has 45 TDs, to 17 INTs, with a rating a 95.

I'd have LOVED to have gotten a steal like him in the draft that year. He is os accurate, strong, and can run.

Ill never understand the fixation people have with severely underselling Dal QBs.

Or ohhh man, how bout a robot mode where you can give them special abilities or weapons? Give your LB robot go-go-gadget grappling hooks with a 10 yard range or something. A QB who can jump and hover for a short time to avoid sacks, or literally have a cannon arm haha. OL robots that can explode to take out or damage would be tacklers. A defender with the ability to shoot the ball down or magnet to pull it away. So then instead of a coaching staff you'd have mechanics who have to make repairs throughout the game. A season robot mode where you have a budget to manage and an R&D department working on new technology and gadgets. Recruit and hire the best mechanics and scientists.

Someone needs to make this a game, 'cause I'd play it. EA doesn't have the creativity to pull something cool that off.

If I could put together a team of coders, I'll get right on it lol. But yeah you could do all sorts of crazy things with a robot mode. No season ending injuries either. Hits so hard heads could pop right off, and other parts.[/quote]

Kinda sounds like the reboot of Mutant Football League I have on Xbox lol.

HOFer is preposterous. He was brilliant in his rookie season. Sophomore slump in his 2nd season. I don't have high hopes for the 3rd season.

It's far too early in his career to say if he's on a HOF pace, but he's definitely not bad. I'd probably rate him as a 82-83 OVR. His WR and TE group are horrendous and I can't imagine his passing stats are going to look very good this season...

No kidding right? I understand and sympathize with the near impossible deadlines developers have to meet with sports games. Not to mention all of the corporate bullsh*t they deal with working for EA.

Given this HAS to be an annual release they try to cram a bunch of broken "new features." In an ideal world they release a new game once every 2-3 years and offer roster updates in between the releases.

Obviously that won't happen because there are suckers who fork over $60 every year for this game.

The glitch looks like a pretty bad one, but now that we're in the age of all consoles being online, EA will definitely have a patch to fix this glitch within the next few weeks. If they released this game over 10 years ago and they still had bugs like that... then that'd be really bad.

Usually a new patch brought on a different glitch within the game... For the first 4 weeks last season kickers missed 50+% of PATs. They fix that and now the QB became a statue that held onto the ball too long... You could easily get 10+ sacks a game.
