Rating Johnny Manziel: Madden NFL 2015

Nicknamed "Johnny Football"Johnny Manziel is one of the top draft choices in the upcoming 2014 NFL Draft. Standing 6'0ft tall, he is not the prototypical quarterback. NFL scouts have many concerns when it comes to  Since he's not tall , he won't have the easiest time seeing over the offensive line, with guys usually 6'2 and taller. With his style of play , Manziel gets sacked alot and makes inaccurate throws because he likes to scramble. In addition, Manziel has is known to be somewhat of a kid that likes the spotlight alittle too much.

With that being said, Manziel has the competitive spirit that matches up with the greats. When it comes to his competitive nature, he is similar to former UF quarterback Tim Tebow. He will do anything and everything to win to try to win a game. With his exceptional play making ability, any team would like to have Manziel on their team. Manziel is the type of player to rise to the occasion in huge games. He torched an amazing Alabama defense each year he played them. The kid is a pure winner. He is athletic as heck , and has potential to be one heck of a quarterback. The two questions that people have about him is his work ethic and his attitude. Manziel is fiery and will talk trash to anybody that talks to him. In the NFL, they will back up their talk and let him know that he's in the NFL. We will have to see how  that part of Manziel will pan out in the pros. As a rookie , I give him a Madden Rating of: 71.

NCAA Addition

Imagine you are the coach of a football team. If you highly anticipated player, and he's not playing up to your standards, what would you do? Well, more times than not , you would bench them.  In NCAA Football, the road to glory mode allows you to play no matter what. However , I thought of this idea based on seeing players and having players not play well for short periods of time. In this stance, I  believe that players would normally at least be benched. Even if they start to play in the 2nd quarter, they would at least be handled some type of warning that they need to play better.

In order for this to be successful, each position should be held to a certain standard depending on the level the gamer is playing on. For example, a rookie level running back should have at least 50 yards in 20 carries. The standard shouldn't be too difficult for anyone to achieve on each because if they get too hard, that would deflate the fun , excitement, and freedom from the game.

If this feature were added to the game, this would improve the game that is already great.  Both new and expert players would love this and  both benefit. Expert players would not be bored and would be challenged while still have some fun.  The new players would have something to strive for and brag about. This would make the game even more realistic and would raise the game up to another level!
