The new Legends items are scheduled to be released on Ultimate Team on Monday, on November 29th, as part of the promotion. The Madden 22 coins other recent promotions launched in Madden have included a Thanksgiving-themed promotion with Blitz as well as Team of the Week which is a weekly event.
Utilizing our model and the most recent set of data2 released through Madden's website Madden website, it was possible to identify several players against whom Madden and a more model-based approach appear to differ and the results are interesting.
Injecting human judgment into a system of grading isn't necessarily bad. Daniel Sorensen is a good illustration. He's had a disastrous season with his team, the Kansas City Chiefs, and the reason is their defense's surrender of 69.5 points more than they expected this season. They rank 31st in the league. Sorensen's performance has earned a coverage grade which is 42.2 per cent in Pro Football Focus and an overall score of 35.5. But despite his struggles, he still appears to be extremely fast! Based on his speed on the field as measured by player tracking data, we'd expect to see a speed score purely based on model for Sorensen that is around 89, about 7 points higher than Madden's Week 9 rating of 82. Maybe the people at EA are loath to reward a player who is not performing as well as Sorensen with a top score on a subject as cheap Mut 22 coins important as speed score, as it can have such a huge impact on gameplay. If that's true you can't blame the EA team.
