Allen Robinson, Mike Evans, Emmanual Sanders.....yeah a lot of guys had good years last season. I could see quite a few in the high 80s

Not with this revised rating scale...thankfully. Madden's had it all wrong for years making ovr ratings more than they needed them to be. Only so many players per position should be in the 90s and that should be reserved for players that are absolute beast EVERYWHERE or exceptionally outstanding in the key attributes of that position. For too long Madden has spoiled us with inflated ratings, welcome to the era of the spread lol...hopefully.

That's my point. I prefer a spread. I'd like to see a 0-100 scale. But looking at the top 5 WRs, there are another 6 or 7, maybe even 8 or 9 that have to be up there. I think ratings will again be inflated, because they try to fit all of the NFL players from about 55/60-99. Where it should be 1-99. Especially squeezing 2200 or so players into 39 rating numbers. That gives you 57 players per rating number.

From our Madden experiences we look at some 70s as starters based on their skills. Imagine having:

Tom Brady 94
Matt Ryan 76
Sam Bradford 66
Kevin Kolb 43
Jamarcus Russel 13

Or something like:

Darrell REVIS 90
Jason Varrett 75
Jalen Ramsay 62
Dimitri Patterson 48
Etc.

You'd have a legit amount of super stars, feeling elite. And bums would be bums, huge liabilities.

Imagine the draft impact of you draft a 21 overall player first round, and pickup a 67 overall in the 6th round!

Overalls:
0-10 can't even get a tryout
11-20 project, has physical tools, just not technical or intangibles.
21-30 practice squad project
31-40 bench player

41-50 fringe starter
51-60 average starter
61-70 solid starter, just really solid in what he does.

71-80 really good player, not HOF caliber, but Pro bowl potential

81-89 Excellent player, just right under HOF, consistent All Pro, just not ground breaking

90+ First ballot HOF

Dez an 88?


Sports gaming maniac. DC Comics, WWE, Basketball, Football, and movies are kind of my thang.

Love the consistent arbitrariness of NINETY PLUS IS HALL OF FAME. As if we're supposed to predict an entire player's career ahead of time. Or that a player who is a Hall of Famer but is at the tail end of their career is garbage so suddenly they're not a hall of famer (Peyton Manning). Fewer players at the tip top is good, but there are still going to be plenty of very good players who deserve to be up there.

Except nowadays it's a lot easier than before to get star wide receivers (nearly every team has at least one) so if there are loads of low-90s high 80s it would fit with how the league looks right now.

I wonder if they speed ratings been tuned or everything's just poorly worded. Same thing as yesterday's RBs (I'm paraphrasing) "the guy has break out speed" he has like 92 speed then they say "this guy won't be running past anyone" the guy has 90 speed". Plus I also noticed the fast guy we have seen so far has 93 speed, which makes me wonder if there's a big difference between an 86 speed and 90 per say.
