Madden 13 Player Ratings Fan Vote Opens

Madden 13 Player Ratings Fan Vote Opens

You voted for the cover star, now vote on his skills

Written by N0T PENNYS B0AT on 31 July 12 at 03:40

Though the series has its detractors, EA's Madden NFL has always remained close with its ardent community of loyal football fanatics. After another successful cover vote promotion that put Detroit Lions wide receiver Calvin Johnson in line to make or break the "curse", EA Sports is now opening up their polls to fans for another aspect of the game.

Starting today and continuing through August 24th, gamers can log onto Facebook and cast their votes for who they think should be given the top skill points in a few key areas. For example, log-in now to vote for which quarterback should be given the highest speed attribute. Will it be Robert Griffin III? Mike Vick? What about Terrelle Pryor? You can decide now. At time of writing, RG3 leads the way. Here's the full schedule of the fan polls:• July 30 – Aug 3: Quarterbacks – Speed, Throw Power, Throw Accuracy, Awareness
• Aug 6 – 10: Running Backs – Speed, Acceleration, Trucking, Elusiveness
• Aug 13 – 17: Wide Receivers – Speed, Spectacular Catch, Route Running, Agility
• Aug 20 – 24: Defense – Speed, Hit Power, Tackling, Man Coverage
As a Titans fan, I'll be campaigning to get Chris Johnson the top speed attribute for runningbacks. Who will you be voting for? Madden NFL 13 takes the field on August 28th.

I think putting ratings in the fans hands could be a bad idea. Hopefully they don't over do them.

Fans won't be deciding every player's attributes, only a few key attributes for different positions. It's to decide who gets the highest rating at the respective position and skill. For example, highest speed attribute for a QB will go to Vick, Pryor, or Griffin III. Then for speed at WR, we might see guys like Mike Wallace, Desean Jackson and Devery Henderson, and so on.

Still may not be a good idea as the player that is voted the most, may not be the best in the league in their attribute. Now if the servers would update in real time, that would be interesting.

What I'm guessing they're planning on doing is having the "key stat" have essentially a 98 maximum for all players, except for the player being voted on, who will have a unique 99 rating at that stat. This would cause not overly drastic changes, while still being able to say there was fan input and also putting the blame on the fans when NFL players inevitably come out and complain about how their stats aren't close enough to real life.

Unfortunately, this WILL matter, as there are 10 ranked online achvs in this years version. For my personal team, 99s and created players make it so much more fun!

Its just for launch anyway. Those who go for achievements change ratings for who they need, and the people who play madden just to play will download the roster updates a few weeks later anyway.

I think some people are missing the fact that Calvin Johnson (cover athlete for the game and Lions wide receiver) is nicknamed Megatron.

I've always thought all Player Ratings should be determined by real life results taken from tests performed at one day of training camp.. have everyone run and lift and throw and kick and hit a bag with a sensor in it and get measured and weighed and see what the results are. It is an exclusive contract so why not go for extreme realism?

Didnt EA relase just like 2 days ago the top 10 rated QBs going into the game? With Vick being a 89, E Manning being a 98 (like seriously WTF) and Rodgers being a 99?

What is the point of this?
