It goes to show how random all of Madden's ratings are, they just like play some dumb guessing game as to who should get what ratings, or just because there a well known guy they deserve high ratings. It would be nice if for once Madden did a real study on players to determine ratings, just take like a 100 different players, all different ages and sizes to compare in all kinds of "sports science" type studys, maybe then they could find out if maybe rookies are faster, more powerful, hit hard and all that, like when you compare Suh to Lewis and Suhs hitting being 60% harder, maybe all older players are in that same range as Lewis, thus all younger players and maybe rookies should have high hit power ratings.

Easy now buddy
The two 'scientific' tests aren't compatible. And here is why...
First, the two tests aren't identical.
Second, the test with Ray Lewis show him (at approximately 250 lbs) smash a door with more than 1,000 lbs of force from 3 yards away. Simple calculus shows that his forward momentum was approximately 9 mph at impact.
The example with Suh shows that Suh hits with 3,200 lbs of force at a weight of 307 lbs. Again simple calculus shows that Suh forward momentum at impact is approximately 23 mph as he throws himself forward into the tackle dummy. That is 73% faster than his top speed - in Madden terms his speed rating.
If Lewis were to hit at the same forward momentum (23 mph) as Suh, he would have tackled the dummy with more than 2,600 lbs of force because he weighs approximately 250 lbs.
In short Suh supposedly "only" hits 23% harder than Lewis
all things equal.
Edit: Suh's speed rating in Madden 11 is 71. That translates into a Hit Power rating of 123, if his hit power were to be 73% higher than his speed rating.
