Ongoing Buffalo Bills Ratings on Madden 22 Thread!

[TheyCallMeAndy]

I’ve been meaning to make (and update) for a few weeks now, but here it is! We will track, discuss, predict and complain about all things Bills ratings on the surprisingly good Madden 22.

 

Bills on Madden

 

**
 

What a season, and let me say the team is REALLY good on Madden. Allen is an absolute monster and Take Away Tre can make huge plays as an AI.

 

Here are highlights of the FINAL ratings:

 

WR Woes: Diggs (-2), Bease, (-4), and Sanders (-3) all went down.

 

Davis (+3) and Knox (+7) had big boosts.

 

Other notables:

Allen (+1): Finished 89. Awareness dropped significantly (86 to 79) but he got huge boosts to rushing and passing stats. Awareness doesn’t matter when it’s the player you’re controlling, Allen is a monster.

 

Groot finished a 76, Boogie a 70, Spencer a 68.

 

Oliver stayed at 81 all year, Harry big boost to 78.

 

Bass is still crazy disrespected with 78 accuracy.

 

Poyer and Hyde still under 90 (88 and 89)

The rookies are all in the 60’s I believe for the Bills.

Milano should def be higher than 82

82 is considered really good, basically 85+ is elite. I think he’s the 5th best ROLB in the game.

Correct, Basham and Groot are the highest at 69.

I keep seeing the Bills as an 87 online, but they remain an 81 overall for me. I have the updates and the players are the same ratings as the OP posted. 
 

I’m on PS5, is that the difference? They were also an 81 for me on PS4 last year (putting them middle of the pack, despite how good they are).

Did you adjust the ratings or add/remove anyone from the roster?

 

The team overalls are set manually by EA, it isn’t an average of the players like it should be

Nope. I haven't edited anything. The Bills are an 81 overall, and 81 on both offense and defense.

Please, HUDS, like I need this thread to lose my s*** over.

 

TCMA may not know that I am the original "I'll physically fight EA Tiburon workers over the Bills Madden Ratings!", but I am so glad he has stepped to the plate to handle the minutia on this because at times I've been too frustrated to post.  

 

TCMA, 88 is good and yes Allen did deserve the dip he took, but no way should one of last year's MVP candidates at the most important position in the sport have started off under 90.  No way.

 

The fact that the Bills got +1 back to their original 87 is also a joke.  Three pummelings in 3 weeks should result in better.  Yes, I know it is the total team value, but with this D playing lights out you mean to tell me (EA) that you can't figure out how to respectfully address the improvement?!!!!!

 

No, of course not, but you most certainly will be the first to drop them if they give up 350 yards on Sunday.

 

The gloves are off.  I have ripped my shirt down the middle, Hulkster style.  I am flexing my two or maybe three muscles covered in manly, but kind of gross and unkempt hair on my chest...

 

...waiving four fingers in a "come at me" manor right at EA, and I am not even remotely worried.

 

They don't have the guts.

I have to ask, what exactly makes this version of madden good vs the last decade?

You don’t need to adjust 30 sliders for 5 hours to have an enjoyable gameplay experience.

Hahaha Oh I knew, funny enough I did these on the OG BBMB, and I meant to do it last year but you beat me to it 🙂

 

We can lose our ***** together 👍🏼

Waiting, Andy.  Just waiting.  You watch and see.  They'll give him nothing.  Nothing. 

 

EA - nasally, punk voice:  "Meh, he only completed 52% of his passes which offsets 3 TDs, a 130 rating, 59 yards rushing and another td on the ground.  As far as the team goes they really didn't do that much more than the Chiefs." 

 

Jerks.

Yeah, it's gonna be egregious.

Outplays Mahomes by a wide margin on a national stage -- still exits the game with an 88.

Mahomes, meanwhile, throws two picks and misses a bunch of passes, but will still be ranked 99.

Meanwhile, the EA ratings guy, Andre Weingarten, made his Twitter account private, so that you can't even Tweet at him to tell him what a dink he is.

DANGIT...they will.  Pathetic.  

 

I haven't checked even before Sunday's game, but honestly, I bet the Chiefs as a team are still higher than the Bills (and still will be after this week), because...you know...stuff.  Algorithms and math...stuff.

 

I will fight you, EA.  I will fight you in broad daylight!

The entire roster is chronically underrated. That 87 is strange because there are only 4 players rated higher than that number -- Diggs (97), White (93), Hyde (88) and Allen (88).

I honestly feel this is the worst version of Madden in a while. So many bugs & problems with this game, too many instance of just a broken game. And the huge focus on MUT & microtransactions has gotten outrageous. Lastly, I'm annoyed the PC version is just the last gen version of the game instead of the new one, yet they still charge $60. I built this badass PC for a reason fools, show some respect! lol

They have made a number of improvements, but this year's  edition at launch and for a while afterwards was UNIVERSALLY PANNED AND RIPPED, especially by the online players and Youtube community.

 

Of course it would have to be in the year that the Bills were good in it for the first time in almost a quarter century, right?

Yea anything for PC that is related to most EA Sports games is like a decade behind with their game engines.  They pretty much just port it to run on a PC and call it a day.

 

Meanwhile games like Dead Space 2, which came out 10 years ago, have better graphics and feel than anything that has come out recently for EASports PC games.

 

I think the last Madden game I bought was 2005 and I probably would like it better than the latest ones.

Last years was panned too with #fixfranchisemode. They just don't care. All about horrible MUT  It's a shame this is all that football fans get in a "simulation" game (I say that very loosely as it seems more arcady than sim to me).
