This is how you know you are in the dark days before training camp starts.

Actually I thought it was pretty funny that players care about their Madden ratings. Apparently they do .......

why wouldnt they?

 

its in their competitive blood. yeah there are players who dont gaf, but if you are slower on madden than someone you know you are faster than in real life, yeah that will irk them

 

its certainly not surprising like you are insinuating.  

 

you are showing your age. 

[RumHam]

oh they definitely care. EA has been threatened to be sued by players if they dont change stuff.

Who works for Madden anyway?  Some random dude estimating a score out of a 100 and it is meaningless.

I am showing my age or more accurately the fact I grew up without being addicted to video games or even a cellphone. I also understand that many players are fond of social media and are gaming enthusiasts. But it is a game which doesn't necessarily mirror reality and hardly impacts how they do their job or what they get paid.  I get it, but also find it humorous that players care enough to actually comment on it. Then again what don't people comment on these days.  If I see one more plate of food showing what people had for dinner ............

I'm 31.

NFL players complaining about their Madden scores is childish and stupid.

I think I read somewhere that Madden actually uses some of the metrics from PFF to develop their ratings. Which explains a lot...

Too stereotypical.  I work with families and kids everyday. I am a scout leader for the past 30 years.  I probably am more involved in youth activities than most on here. The fact I see little value in videogames and think it is funny that folks are overly engaged in telling everything they think or feel to the world in social media hardly makes me an old curmudgeon.  Just like I don't think that all millenials  are self-centered, shallow, selfish money grubbers who expect to be handed everything who all want to make a living playing video games.
