Haplo848 Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 I don't know how many other people on here play Madden, but is anyone else upset about the way they handled the Bills? I think the player ratings are rather ridiculous, especially the speed ratings. Watkins has a 93 speed, and Shady, Percy Harvin and Leodis McKelvin all have speed in the 80s! Everyone's talking about how the Bills can field one of the fastest offenses in the league, yet Madden makes them incredibly slow. They also have Marqueis Grey listed as a FB, and a bad one at that. If you put him over at TE, he gets worse. Andre Davis, one of the stars of training camp, isn't even on the team. Jerry Hughes is listed as 81 overall, Mario Williams is only in the high 80s. And of course, they don't give you any 4-3 packages so that you can play four man fronts with Hughes, Williams, Williams, and Dareus, so Kyle Williams becomes a rotational player, and Hughes is a 3-4 RE. You'd have to go in and mess with the depth chart, playing people "out of position" in order to get your best guys on the field. I just think Madden just really screwed over the Bills. Hopefully we get some updates for them to fix this BS soon.
IDBillzFan Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 I think there is already a thread to discuss there here. (Sorry. It was just sitting there...calling to me...)

PromoTheRobot Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 I blame Madden for the state of football fandom in this country.
Wazzu Bill Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 Because if you made the players as good as they really are, then they become the best team in Madden. And we couldn't have that now could we
TheFunPolice Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 You know the programmers were looking at the roster/ratings and saying "everyone is like a 90 and above overall... But it's the Bills?! Just knock down some of the key traits!" This season is going to be fun!
LeGOATski Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 This won't stop me from going 19-0 against the computer. Championship!!
BuffaloHokie13 Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 This won't stop me from going 19-0 against the computer. Championship!! But who do you start at QB?
TheFunPolice Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 I like drafting my own guy at QB when I play as a GM in Madden. I always SIM the 1st season so that I can begin with the draft, free agency, etc and start playing with a team that feels more my project. It isn't like the Bills have had anyone that you would be bummed about cutting at QB for years now!
Protocal69 Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 I went off the ledge when I saw at 1st that they had HarVin at 89 speed, then they came out with a update that made him 92 speed. It's stupid that they got mccoy at 88 speed who is only 4 points higher than Andrew Luck. I could go on and on
IDBillzFan Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 Thanks for laughing. Truth be known, the first thing I did when i got a Playstation was get Madden. Couldn't wait. Then I played it, realized I didn't know jackschitt about how to play football, and went back to what I was always good at: Pong.
The Big Cat Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 First roster updates generally solve these issues.
LeGOATski Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 But who do you start at QB? EJ because I'm throwing bombs and he's mobile enough. He's a great video game QB, actually.
MyDogLuvsPB Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 Thanks for laughing. Truth be known, the first thing I did when i got a Playstation was get Madden. Couldn't wait. Then I played it, realized I didn't know jackschitt about how to play football, and went back to what I was always good at: Pong. Did you play online vs. real opponents? That was your mistake! Thre are people who make a living playing Madden and have done so for decades. I just play or used to play the regular season against the CPU unitl they royally screwed this up. And I didn't use settings that would give me an advantage like rookie status for the CPU settings. If you didn't take advantage of training camp, then you would find it diffucult indeed.
QB Bills Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 Which platform are you using? How is the gameplay? Enough of a difference from last year? Or the year before that? Or the year before that? Or the year...
DrDawkinstein Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 Arent you able to go in and adjust the ratings as you see fit? I seem to remember being able to do that in 2012, I believe.
SmokinES3 Posted August 26, 2015 Posted August 26, 2015 (edited) Before you start a franchise you can edit and save your own rosters. Editing some attribute ratings was the first thing I did. Make Marqueis a TE, etc... Edited August 26, 2015 by SmokinES3
