Last week on TWIM 74, ZFarls and I broke down every rating in Madden NFL 13. We put to use our 36 years of gaming experience to better explain what we believe each rating does in the game.

I’m playing with the Baltimore Ravens in connected careers mode, and I’m trying to improve Paul Kruger. He’s default play style is 3-4 pass rusher. I would like to know which attributes are most important when trying to develop him. Example, should I purchase the developmental package for 50k? Should I raise his attributes and which ones to raise?

I would spend the 50k on young players who are going to be studs, other wise the 50k is not worth it. It takes around 3 seasons for it to pay for itself.
For defensive linemen I would upgrade block shedding, power or finesse move (depending on which is higher already), strength and play recognition (imo it is more important then awareness for defensive players).

Hey guys I was wondering how much does awareness matter on defense, specifically at the strong safety postion? should I start my 99 overall strong safety pat Tillman or dick lane who is a 97 overall cornerback but has a 99 overall at SS to. most of dick lanes stats like speed, acc, man and zone coverage and press are all way better than tillmans but his awareness is only a 63 at SS compared to tillmans 90 Tillman has better tackling 90 compared to lanes 83 tillmans play rec is 92 lanes is a 90. I play with greenbays defensive play book, this is for my ultimate team. I’m worried lane might not be in the right spots in my zone d I run that a lot, but I’m also worried that Tillman might get beat alot. who would you guys start?
Thanks Donnie
