Music Hello everyone and welcome to another episode of the TakeCast.

My name is Davis-Matic, and you can find me on Twitter at Davis-Matic.

In this episode of the show, I did something that I don't think that 12-year-old me would believe.

I had on Dustin Smith, the head ratings adjuster for the Madden NFL video game series on the podcast.

We talked about what it is like to create a Madden ranking for a player, how madden

the players get, the rating scale

that they have in the game this year, what it's like in the offices at Madden.

I think this was just a really good discussion for anyone who has played a significant

amount of Madden football because you probably always wondered how do they come up with

the rankings, what inputs go into the rankings, how do you rank someone who's been in the league for 15 years versus a rookie? How do you come

up with rookie rankings? I mean really generally, truly interesting stuff for me. Of course,

if you like the show, you can always leave a rating and review on iTunes. I find that

very helpful. You can also subscribe to the show on Patreon to get bonus episodes of the show. We appreciate that support as well. We are of course presented and sponsored by rotoexperts.com. You can get 10% off of the 3999 NFL 365 package using the promo code Matic, M-A-T-T-E-K.
