uhhh... did you read my quote? I was agreeing with you, ALL THE TIME, yes the ability to edit ratings whenever you wanted with no limits, dont know where the disconnect was, it was a pretty simple concept.

People who don't want to do it, wont and those who would, will. Why limit it to certain weeks, rather than just allowing it to begin with? Don't use it if you don't want to...

Agreed 100% it should be editable whenever... but from my original answer that was quoted to your response... Ian asked "Are there certain time frames we can lock it to?" That's why my response had the weeks outlined... again I believe that I should be able to edit whenever I want.

This would be a feature that would truly enhance the franchise experience. I would like to be able to edit all attribute ratings. having this feature availalable at any point throughout your franchise would be ideal. As an online franchise player If this is added I hope it makes it to the online mode as well.

As a quick example I will point out three player overall ratings as they were when madden shipped.

Arian Foster overall 67 C potential
Brandon Lloyd overall 70 C potential
Mike Vick overall 73 C potential

Now if we fast forward to their current ratings


Arian Foster overall 92 A potential
Brandon Lloyd overall 87 A potential
Mike Vick overall 91 A potential


As we all know these players had break out seasons. Under the current progression system these players could never achieve these attributes. Even worse after one franchise year in madden these players are most likely to be cut from their respective teams. Realistically Every year we will have players who have monster seasons so this is expected. This tool would be very helpful to make everyones franchise as true to life as it can be.

This would be a key feature as it shows not only does attributes need to be edited, but also and equaling important the potential rating as it determines the players ceiling going forward

On another note the gamers who import draft classes from Ncaa think of the potential editing you could do. When it comes to video games anytime you allow the user the ability to customize the game this is a good thing.

Thank you for your time and dedication in making madden a great experience .

I was looking for this thread to make sure it gets noticed again.. USERs should have this option in there offline franchise and EA would probably get less complaints from people about players progression in there franchise because if the USER don't like something about a player they can manually fix it themselves.. Add this feature please.

This would also help with the random draft classes we get imported from NCAA. We can manually go in there and fix the attributes of players projected to go high in the draft that come out terrible when we import them to Madden.

Funny how this discussion got started, then quickly got dropped.

One thing we know about EA, is that they like to limit gamers editing ability greatly dealing with their Football and Basketball games.

The problem with allowing this is that by allowing such open editing, it will reveal how Maxed Out the Game Engine really is.

Even Ian said that they have concerned about the impact on the game and how such editing might cause crashes in the game.

As much as Ian is trying to change things, EA's Administration thrives on dictating what their customers can and can't do with their games. This allows them to stretch Marketing Strategies to make more money.

High priority?

Its a relatively easy addition. Its not like its something that takes the entire team to work on for a long period of time.

And depending who you ask, yes, it is. Until they get progression right, which may never happen, it would be a nice feature to have. Necessary? Not really, but as others have said, it would enhance the experience giving us a chance to fix some of the wacko ratings players get.
