Why are we trying to rush it so much? CB and I will be playing tonight, but having like one day for FA stuff seems a little rushed...
This is par for the course, welcome!

Yeah I retweeted so I could read it later.
I'm excited to read it but my enthusiasm is tempered by the fact that it's a discussion relating to a players overall rating and not making them awesome madden players.

The offseason works like this:
1. Resign your pending FAS
2. FA bidding week 1
3. FA bidding week 2
4. FA bidding week 3
5. The draft
Usually it's a day FOr each of these items to give people time to do the stuff. So that's 4 days before the draft. The draft is Sunday so we need to move it along!
Well the awareness factor I found interesting. Get fucked bluemax.
Yeah, figuring out how overall rating works seems like one of the least relevant things you could do in trying to determine how ratings affect on-the-field interaction. Especially after seeing how changing schemes makes OVR bounce around almost comically and without meaning. Does the article go into anything else or is it just that?
The problem with trying to figure this all out in the past has been that for every piece of "hard" information out there, there is typically some piece of contradictory information. On top of that, the Madden devs seem to be the least knowledgeable of anyone on the nuts and bolts of what ratings truly do what. Or at the very least they are completely unwilling to offer an in depth look under the hood.

Why does AWR matter at all for QBs, only playing against the AI right?
Is the play action rating how well the QB sells it and fakes out the defenders? Does that actually have a meaningful impact in a human vs human game with the non controlled AI players?

when the stat description is something like "important in almost every situation" who the fuck knows
Listed in game as GRG.
Unaffected by reality as well!
So does the gameplay in Homeworld hold up enough that the remaster is worth checking out as someone that hasn't played it? I was more of a Command & Conquer man when it originally came out.
new Driveclub packs today!
kind of sad the One:1 will probably destroy most of my records, but maybe there's still a tradeoff between the acceleration of the Venom

Haven't read the article yet but I am just annoyed even looking at the picture. Who the fuck would invest any XP into AWR, or BCV for an RB? AWR for a QB?
It's clear that for those positions it doesn't matter, but there is clear evidence based on observation that AWR is key for defenders in zone coverage as well as for blockers in space. There's very clear evidence that PRC and BSH aren't what they are cracked up to be either.
This is cool to have, though I will continue to test and theorize.
One play last night stood out and I had a huge grin on my face afterwards. I had to dump off on a sideline right to Andre Williams and the dude literally took off right after catching it with break away speed. Scotty even mentioned it.
He is slow, 86 speed and shit ACC. I took the milestone and yearly goals and pumped up the AGI attribute before the game. If you notice guys like McCoy can get caught up behind an OL but are then gone immediately after. That happens with AW and I am fucked. It was very nice to see that work out. It's been fun working with AW who is a very ordinary RB and trying to build Frankenstein.

what are prc and bsh? Interesting tests you've done there welli, I wish more youtube madden folks would test that stuff each season.
You're saying breakaway speed is more important then acceleration? for that initial burst at least?

I would guess it might help with blocking for sure. I wanted if it factors into how well the FB does on lead blocks...

I am saying the opposite. My RB was able to dash away from the defender because of higher AGI. He was able to not be stuck in molasses when trying to make the cut.
AWR is essential for blockers in space.

It's the one in which Marlon Wayans uses black magic to channel the dead in order to cheat at basketball.
I read a couple Image comics. The Fade Out and Velvet are the best. Sex Criminals, The Wicked + The Divine, and Southern Bastards are great too.

Fuck that noise.
I mean it explains a lot, but ugh.
The last "new" stuff I read was Batman RIP and everything after it until the New 52 came out. Then I stopped because New 52 is dumb.

Basically everything Grant Morrison did on Batman a few years ago.
And yet I see you on OOTP all morning long. You ain't fooling anyone!

I don't know that I have a huge problem with a little bit of randomness. It would kind of suck if you were playing as a bad team and just had no chance to break tackles ever because your ratings were low. These are NFL Pros, that randomness happens sometimes in real games.

Actually if you're gonna read Grant Morrison's run I think the start was here:

You can find all of these as TPBs. I don't do monthly stuff anymore, I just grab TPBs every few years and read arcs that were good.

OOTP takes fucking forever to load, even when on a SSD. I try to never close it.
Funny story though, met with our IT people this week to talk about a server upgrade and he rambled on about a virtual terminal and how it would be better to use that to work from home yada yada yada and he was like "but, it'll be bare bones, we aren't going to load your video games on it or anything"
