NFL players complain about miscomputation in the Madden stats |
Ó
In an event hosted by EA Sports recently in New York to celebrate having Vince Young as its poster boy for Madden NFL 08, it's been reportedly found out by switched.com that inasmuch that the big boys of the NFL actually love playing Madden, they're not exactly fans of their own player ratings in-game.Of course, as each player has every right to believe that they are worth more than Electronic Arts actually rated them to be in Madden, they naturally don't agree with being rated as a "lower" player than others. But obviously, not everyone can be at the top of their game, so inevitably, someone would have to be ranked lower.
Here's a quick look at what some of them had to say about their own player stats in Madden:
Reggie Bush: This is really bothering me. I've got a 97 player speed, 98 agility, 98 acceleration, 85 toughness and 99 juke move. Now,how does that average out to an 87?... It just doesn't add up. I'm not a mathematician, but something ain't adding up right. Somebody miscounted.
Michael Strahan: You know? EA -- they're not fair. Not fair at all. My rookie year, I was the worst player on the team. I was worse than the guys on the practice squad and I'm the draft pick, a second rounder. What happened is that when you're a rookie, your numbers are going to be a little bit lower because you've got to establish yourself in the league.
Marshall Faulk: Obviously we know the ratings aren't as realistic as [they are for the real-life] players.
Mario William: It's just a video game. But I've seen some things where players had ratings that were obviously not fair.
Hmmm... so what clearly is the consensus among these star players is that EA Sports appears not to know its math. So, what say you, EA? How accurate do the details have to be in games, especially when they are patterned after real-life characters/scenarios?
