Madden ratings - An inside look at EA and the "Ratings Czar"

Submitted by canzior on

For those who are interested, There is an article written about the process that EA has in selecting player ratings.  There is 1 person who does ALL of the ratings, known as the "Ratings Czar."  It's a fun read, and it has sliders so you can see what some of your ratings would be in Madden.

Look at the first picture of Moore - Over the phone in the top right corner there's two framed photos. In the right-most picture it appears there's someone wearing a UM helmet.

For some reason this reminds me of Ethan Albright's letter to Madden after being rated the worst player in Madden 2007. For those who are not familiar, it's hilarious:

"It’s also pretty wonderful that my awareness rating was 59. You make it sound like I wake up in the morning, helplessly shit and piss myself, then lose three of my teeth before I discover that I am trying to eat a rock for breakfast."
