why isn't JJ Jansen a 99 overall at long snapper?

I know it is a joke, but I will answer it anyway. 

Madden doesn't even consider that a real position.  It hurts my heart to cut him every time I start a franchise because he is rated a 37 overall or something ridiculous.

If it's in the game, it's in the game.  Unless its long snappers.

EA is absolutely terrible and I hate that it is the only choice for an NFL game. 

I heard a while back they were letting the license expire and that was changing because their head is so big they think they don't need it.  I don't know why they have this attitude, but I would love a new edition of NFL2K or even Blitz.

Yeah unfortunately sports games peaked around 2005.  Then all the exclusivity agreements ruined everything.

I would be so hype about a NFL front office game similar to Out of the Park Baseball.

When you contractually eliminate all competition you get stagnation. EA has no market incentive to improve their product. They can't sell a ton of copies simply by being literally the only game in town.

Ironically 2K did the same thing to baseball in response.  EA's MVP 2005 Baseball is one of the best baseball video games ever made.  In response to EA killing NFL competition, 2K secured the exclusive third party rights to baseball and killed off the best baseball game.  It's bad for everyone.

Bad for everyone except the company holding the exclusive rights. It's great for them. They don't care about producing a quality product, they care about extracting maximum profit.

As bad as that was 20 years ago, now we're in the era of ultimate team.  Everything's got some stupid card game that drives all the revenue.

It's not really if you have the time to sink into it. NMS players can still have a good squad that can compete with almost anyone. 

Of course you will run into a few P2W players.

      The ickey ekwonu question...

      By hepcat · Posted

      Nijman is actually one of the better free agent left tackles available in free agency and he will get a chance to start next year. He will get a raise and likely be re-signed. Christensen backs him up and they should sign another veteran tackle and/or draft a 2nd or 3rd round tackle as well. Zavala and Corbett need to go so they should also draft a guard. I’ve suggested they should trade down in the first round to accumulate more picks for depth they are going to need a lot of going forward.

      Evero and the pass rush

      Princely overall PFF was 47 compared to Scourton’s 68.   Not everything shows  up in the stats.

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      If you account for the discrepancy in snap counts, then Princely and Scourton actually had pretty similar production. Scourton: 717 snaps (68%) 47 tackles (7 TFL) 5 sacks 15 pressures 1 FF Princely: 222 snaps (22%)  24 tackles (2 TFL) 1.5 sacks 5 pressures 1 FF, 1 FR I think Scourton was simply given more opportunities to flash.  Then it goes to a more abstract argument of why Princely was not given more playing time.  But then we'd be blindly giving credence to the same guy who not only drafted DJ Johnson, but was happy to waste a roster spot and snaps on the guy for 2 seasons and some change.
