Hey guys, for those of you who play Madden 360, you know. Others playing Xbox, PS2, etc., changes are coming. There's really not much I can do as I gave my regular Xbox away last year. Having to make a decision to wait until the regular Xbox Madden game is compatible with the 360 and use that, or start updating our ratings database for years to come, I would rather spend the little time I have to work towards the future of Madden development.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: Due to Madden 2007's evolving process into a Next Gen game, FBGRatings.com will not make updates until the ratings and player editing opens back up in the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions. We use the Xbox 360 version of the game to apply updates, and as most you gamers know, it's not too user friendly just yet. In fact, if you have not seen all the rating category changes yet (same as NCAA Football), you should check them out because that's where the game is headed over the next few years. We will reflect the changes in the game starting for the next season, but it's gonna take alot of time and effort on our side to upgrade.
12/20/05 - It's back to a timing issue. Work related.
12/20/05 - Well guys, I have been put on Bowl duty. The new Magnolia All-Star Bowl popped up taking ther place of the old Blue/Grey game. The All-star bowls are important because, if you didn't know, we run the biggest draft site on the net. So I'm really not gonna have time to even get back into rosters, off and on until after New Years.
That will be sketchy as well, because staring Jan 6th, all the games start, then on into the Draft season. I really don't move from my seat until the end of April.
I'm really sorry and our online database for NFL and MLB is still all over the place. I have spent the past 2 weeks getting our college stuff even close to be able to work a draft type website.
So, what I'll do is offer buybacks, refunds or exchanges for 1 year of NFLDraftScout.com or a full 1 your extension for here, when things are fixed and changes made, and I get caught up. I think this website will be pointed to a rebuilding page in early Jan, because as you see, what we used to have is no more. The tech merge of all our info has really set me back, and taken alot of steam out of my drive to rebuild this all, the way I put months of work into getting it and keeping it like it was.
So email me at brianhitterman@msn.com and let me know what you want to do. Since we never really locked this website down and I know alot of you got in free, I know how the gamer boards work, I used to run one heck of a football gaming site back in the day, before my job exploded, I'll have the signup guys check to validate who paid and didn't pay.
I can understand if your mad but there is really nothing I can to to catch up and finish where I should have been months ago, today.

12/14/05 - Back in business as far as rating player changes and the database working. I have to get all the transactions straight from the past month and will finish all the Lions, and players acquired for the first 12 full teams that are done.
12/13/05 - Ok guys, I have been told all changes will be saved but the rosters (double rookies) and depth charts (cannot update them yet) will be messed up some for a while yet. I will start in on logging the back transactions tonight and text a few player rating changes tonight. If all goes well, and you'll see it on the site changes, then I'll fuire back up tomorrow. Again, sorry on the fuss.
12/10/05 - Things are still not finished here. I will have to talk to somebody tomorrow about why our NFL database is still messed up.
12/08/05 - Hey guys, it's taking longer than expected and will be a few more days before I can even do anything to update here. I'm very sorry but look to get back crackin Friday evening. I WILL finish.
Sent Friday, so it will be a few more days, sorry guys.... "The current status of remapping the team to the original is still in progress. I expect to be able to complete this tonight or tomorrow by the latest."
Hey guys, due to the database unification project our company techs performed and the new system and errors that are resulting for it, I was told I cannot use any of my tables to update info here until that is fixed. They will be running more tests and a team unified script and database tests all day tomorrow. I will be able to resume ratings and get caught back up on transactions & depth changes this Friday, Dec 2nd.
I'm working on College player info for our Draft website I have to finish for work and will resume in on the rookie and player ratings and work on them little at a time over the next few weeks to finish up. Sorry on the delay.
