Ok so lot of content to go through but 1 thing that stand out - Tarkenton TOR??????

WTF EA. 76 Throw on the run? Did you EVER see this guy play? Anyone at EA? *crickets* I guess....

I watched him play. There was no one could do what he did. Not the best thrower of the ball ever, but this guy could scramble like no one could. And he got some throws off after running around for like 7-10 seconds LOL...The guy was insane ..and EA gives him 76 TOR.

It's insulting to our intelligence as football fans. And this is what promotes misinformation as well. Take Deion, for example. EA has almost never given him a good press rating (except on his 99 ring of honor card). Yes this year they did and people are "LOL" about it saying "Deion couldn't press, why is EA giving him 92 press". Well, Deion COULD play press. The systems he played for didn't all call for it so maybe he played press half of his career but people who go by EA's ratings don;t know that. 

Honestly, people who play this game and make comments about players should actually watch real game footage of these players and apparently EA needs to do the same

Pretty much everything EA does.

damn ur old

Agree with OP. Makes no sense. And yea, I'm old (69).

as a guy who wasnt even alive back when he played, I've seen his highlights and hes one of the best to never win a super bowl, right up there with Kelly and Marino. He practically invented scrambling.

Got me by 14 years bro. 55 here. Getting harder and harder to play Madden ; reflexes ain't what they used to be LOL

Every year EA has developer turnover and every year the new people they hire are younger and less likely to be football fans.

I wish they’d hire just one football expert to be quality control on card ratings. Like, if that’s not worth a job by itself for this billion dollar game mode, have the person do historical breakdown videos for social media and YT to educate young people on older players.

Tarkenton was LITERALLY the prototypical scrambler in NFL history.  It's a good thing Clint is running the show, cuz his deep knowledge of the league is critical to our wonderful in-game experience this and previous years!!! ;)

You'd think a guy who actually played on an NFL practice squad would know stuff like this, and maybe he does. Not sure this is in his purview though...not sure who actually determines these cards and their ratings

I’ve said it before…..you just need one person in the room to raise their hand and ask questions. Like, “did you guys see Tark play….here are 15 seconds of YouTube highlights”. Deion has had terrible press ratings for 20 years until this harvest ltd. Man played on the line with his hands on receivers nearly every play. Never got beat over the top when doing it. Hurts that the NFL doesn’t come asking questions. 
 

And 55 here too.  Reflexes are definitely not the same. Makes me laugh when kids talk trash.  Mainly because they do it so poorly.

I'm guessing they've loaned out the archetype assignment job to a roomful of chimps on typewriters. :)

He’s also to slow he should be faster. Leave it to EA to make Jimmy Graham the fastest player in the promo lol

👏👏👏👏👏👏

 You had me at insulting our intelligence.  
 

Also a disservice to these guys IRL, disrespectful, you name it. 
 

The list goes on as well…

The card can’t throw on the run. And he doesn’t get SFL. His 1st time in MUT and wanted him useable.
