IMPORTANT NOTICE: FBGratings Fans and Guests, We are announcing the start of big changes at the FBGratings website that will now allow for Madden's Next Generation of ratings to be accessible online. The present plan is to get the site in the correct format followed by adding in the new overall ratings for the NFL's 14000+ players.
I will begin editing the new overall ratings once this new format is achieved. This will be followed by the addition of new, updated, individual attributes. The primary goal is to make the site Next Generation compatible and fully updated by Opening Weekend, 2009. I hope you all enjoy the updates. Please feel free to contact me personally with any questions, comments, and/or concerns.
