This offer will be in place all the way through the Madden NFL 21 season, up to the release of Madden NFL 22, so players can upgrade whenever they first purchase their new console within that period. Of note, physical discs cannot currently be used to upgrade to discless consoles.

Man Watson at 86 just feels disrespectful.... Otherwise I don't hate these ratings.

I miss the days when passing was not so efficient

Watson at 86. What did he do to the Ratings Adjusters? Slap their mothers?

Brady as a 90 OVR is a joke. His numbers were around league average last year. If he wasn't named "Tom Brady", his rating would be in the low-mid 80's.

My man Russ!

‪Digging into the very limited ratings released so far:
It appears pocket QBs’ Stamina ratings generally got tanked across the board (except Brady, who has all the intangibles). Brees - 77, Wentz - 76, Ryan - 74.
I assume this change was made to emphasize the new non-RB ballcarrier stamina penalties discussed previously in the gameplay stream. Something to watch as we move forward, at least.

If he’s punishing Watson because of the Texans losses then that completely wrong. Deshaun has been clutch and given the Texans the lead in the late 4th many times only to see the defense give the game away in the last 35-45 seconds. Since most of my family are Texans fans (family is from Houston) I get to laugh a lot at their misfortune lol. Deshaun should be a 91-92. He has earned and proven that he is one of the toughest, clutch QBs in the game.

I'm not someone who argues about ratings, but the Brady 99 stamina seems strange to me.

It seems to correlate to QB fumbles. Brady had 4 last season (and he's been quite good the last few years). Some of the other pocket QBs with lower stamina ratings had significantly higher fumble numbers.
That's just a guess on my part....but it's the only thing that makes sense mechanically.

Seems about right with the exception of Watson. I think 90ish for him.

Have you ever seen him winded?

GOD ALLEN is always fun to develop in franchise mode with that 99 throw power
