Madden NFL 17 Player Ratings - Top 5 Running Backs

[Ruben2424]

Adrian Peterson is STILL the best running back in the league. Le'veon Bell is the next best thing and Todd Gurley is the future but AP is still the best.

And our offense was lights out that year because of having an elite QB to pair with AP. Can you imagine if Brett and the Packers had a back of his caliber throughout the Favre era... 3 rings minimum. 5 or 6 might have been doable.

Him not being number 1 and not being at least a 90 is a flat out joke. Maybe when it is week 9 and he is leading the NFL in rushing he will be moved up. Not only is he the best in the NFL he is a top 10 all time RB.

APs actual ratings, not the ovr but the individual ratings, seem pretty fantastic and I think better than what they were last year.

Same thing as with Gurley who we know has 92 speed and 92 speed to go along with whatever his power back ratings are.

The overall isn't gonna mean anything when you guys are beasting on people with Gurkey and AP week in and week out

Edit

I get caught up on ovr of my favorite players too, I totally get it.

The issue I have with the ratings is that simply lowering ratings across the board does not accomplish anything. Only the magnitude of rating differences matter. All players being a 99 rating would be the same as all being rated 50. The very top 1 or 2 RBs should be a 99 with some pretty quick drop off in the next tier and then a big drop off at the next tier. I feel EA just lowered ratings for everyone and feels they accomplished something.

AP is the best pure RB in the game no doubt, but Le'veon is a little more versatile & may be a better all around RB (catching, blocking, etc..). I don't have a problem with Bell's rating, I just think AP's rating should be higher. They both should be rated a 94 overall in my opinion.

As far as Gurley is concerned, he has a lot more to prove before we start saying he's a top 3 back. The potential is definitely there, but talk to me after he's done it for a few years consistently. And I'm a huge Gurley fan btw. I knew he was going to be a beast watching him at Georgia. Too bad he plays for one of my teams rivals lol.

Bell doesn't belong on this list. Ditto for Miller. I would put Gurley and Chris Ivory. Miller, lmbo,,,,whatever Madden.
