How to read these:
Each row is the player’s rating in that year’s Madden, listed by
the NFL season it covers (Madden NFL 2001 = the 2000 season). Madden sets its
ratings before the season is played, so they reflect the
previous season’s performance - a player’s
breakout year tends to show up as a jump in the following year’s game.
About the starred rows*:
Several early Madden releases rated players on a
1-15 scale, as printed in the game manuals,
rather than the modern 0-99. We store those ratings converted
to 0-99 (each manual point is about 6.6) so you can compare
players across eras at a glance - use the
0-99 / 1-15 toggle above the table to
see the original numbers on those seasons. EA didn’t publish
an overall rating in those games, so the
OVR* values for
those years are our own calculation, the average of the
player’s two best ratings.
Note:
Some Madden releases tracked fewer attributes than others. Cells shown as - were not
published by EA that year.
