If you look at rosters team by team, and not just grouped together like this, it doesn't look nearly as bad.

Jets - 5 starters over 80
49ers- 8
Bengals -11
Bills -11
Cards - 11
Colts - 9
Rams - 9
Texans - 11


That is 8 teams that have half or more of their starters at below 80 overall.

The similarity in OVR for most of the starting WR for each team is not indicative of homogeneous player types, IMO.

Also, we'll see when the game drops, but I expect that most of those 80-84 WR are not going to be able to get open against CB and safeties like they did in past Maddens, because the improvement in man coverage, deep zones and the fixing of the legacy underneath zone bugs.
This is an excellent point and makes me wonder if total OVR is even important, or just a collection of position specific individual ratings which seems more lifelike. For instance rather than cling to debating OBJ vs Dez, acknowledge that they hardly play the same position and provide each players SPD, RTE, RLS, etc and allow the coach to make a decision on which fits their scheme better. I felt like OVR and age determine salaries on the game far more than skill set. This would impact that.

I really wish with these blogs they'd let you get a look at ALL the ratings. There are certain things in receivers I put a premium on like the RELEASE and catch in traffic ratings or the PMV FMW for linemen.

I do like that overalls here seem to have to spread, but their function in the actual game is in the positional skill ratings.

The entire ratings spreadsheet has been out for several days

Really shocking seeing some of these responses. I think they are rated approximately.*

Good to know. I didn't see it on the official site. I'll search around for it.

Glad to see Hilton is not on this list.

I am a Colt fan who watched Manning displace Harbaugh, but my horseshoe glasses are not so tinted that I would suggest Hilton is worth the $ he's getting paid, even if he's statistically one of the best in the game.

The guy's skill set is limited and Madden appears to respect that.
