Madden NFL 11 "Swagger" Rating Explained (MyMaddenPad)

[Steve_OS]

MyMaddenPad has posted the details of what the "Swagger" rating is all about for Madden NFL 11.

Quote:

"The "Old Spice Swagger" rating determines the likelihood of a player to celebrate on the way to the endzone, or after a touchdown. For example, a running back like Adrian Peterson (99 rating) has a greater tendency to celebrate than Frank Gore (50 rating)."

Thanks Steve. Makes sense. I don't have a problem with it, the only thing is why stop at swagger if you want to add organic emotion to the game?

Why not a "composure" rating, or a "clutch" rating? It seems like with the weapons system, they were trying give players characteristics. It could have been done better, but why go away from that line of thinking?

I see now. So it's literally "swagger", and not a confidence rating of sorts. That's cool and all, but doesn't (didn't) the user have the ability to make someone highstep into the endzone or do celebrations either way?

[DorneyDave]

Lol, what a dumb feature.

[Nev]

Not bad.

Wonder if they have added some new celebrations then....

As I mentioned in the other thread, they need to have those high swagger players doing "peacock" poses all time and not just on touchdowns, so that their annoying nature can really shine through.

Like when a player gets a first down, they are always signaling it for the fans.

If it wasn't sponsored by Old Spice, it would most likley be called the "Showboat" rating.

It is never a bad thing to have extra personality added to the game.

Nice, now there can actually be a difference with a Chad Johnsons receiver and Marvin Harrison

[DubTrey1]

No big deal IMO. Good use of the sponsorship between EA and Old Spice....
