Madden 09 Player and Team Ratings

Re: All Madden 09 Player Ratings!!

Looks like I'll be spending the first few weeks doing rosters...No way should people in the 2nd round be 80s....

To be fair if Ray Rice was about 4 inches taller and about 15lbs heavier he would've been a first round pick.

IMO, only Top 5 picks should justify ratings in the 80s.

I agree, but it seems EA wants to make it seem that all players can progress into stars starting them near the top of the overall scale.

I would've been happy with Ray Rice at a 75.

In NCAA he always came out as like a 64. It would be funny because on that stupid Player Comparison Screen he always was matched with Reggie Bush. It made no sense what so ever.

Re: All Madden 09 Player Ratings!!

Seems a few QBs are over-inflated. Rothleisberger a 95? Come on! I know the game doesn't like having difference in QB's abilities, but even the real bad starting QBs are above an 80.

I really feel you on the inflation of player ratings and Scott on the inflation of rookies........... I wish that they would go back to the Madden 02/03 overall ratings calculation, where........

95-99 - Perennial Pro Bowlers, Future HOFers in their prime (Manning, Brady)
90-94 - Pro Bowl player, elite player (Palmer, Romo)
85-89 - Pro Bowl caliber, excellent player (Garrard, McNabb)
80-84 - Legit starter, very good player (D. Anderson, Garcia)
75-79 - Quality starter, good player (V. Young, Campbell)
70-74 - Adequate starter, okay player (Pennington, Big J. Russell)
65-69 - Fringe starter, quality backup (Beck, Flacco)

and so on and so forth.

That would take care of the rookie inflation problem; only a select few rookies (McFadden, Jake Long, and Big Glenn Dorsey for example) would even get to start out as an 80 and the 1st rounder after that can range all the way down to upper 60s, not disallowing a few 2nd rounders from getting in the low 70s.

[SteelerSpartan]

Re: All Madden 09 Player Ratings!!

No real complaints here looking at the Steelers except for Kemoeatu should be rated at about an 82 imo but, that's just me. Otherwise everything else looks good. Does anyone know if we can get a chance to see the kicker and punter ratings ? I'm interested in seeing what they rated Jeff Reed, Daniel Sepulveda and Nate Washington.

I thought Woodley was a little underrated for the start of the season(at least an 82 IMO)....but I think we will see a nice jump over the course of the season....maybe not a "Silverback" leap but nice nonetheless.

You guys are Steelers fans....dont you see something wrong? Particularly on defense. Even more particularly, on the LB corps? Does it not seem like someone is missing?


























*cough* Lawrence Timmons *cough*

Colon, Simmons, Polamalu and Townsend should be lower.

Holmes and Woodley should both be about 2 points higher.

Good to see Heath Miller getting the respect he deserves.

Re: All Madden 09 Player Ratings!!

Just leave my boy McNabb alone and were cool

Yeah, no pickin on McFlabb!

[BrianFifaFan]

Re: All Madden 09 Player Ratings!!

I'll take my Bengals. Pretty decent ratings. But poor Rudy took a knock. I'll have lot easier time with this game as opposed to my Wolverines in NCAA. They got pounded on Talent, IRL and in game.......

Re: All Madden 09 Player Ratings!!

Im an Eagles fan and who the hell is J. Parker at LE? WTF should be Jaqua Thomas

You should be ashamed of yourself to call yourself an Eagles fan...he changed his name MONTHS ago...to Juqua Parker.

I just saw these ratings this morning and I'm also an Eagles fan was disappointed in some of these ratings especailly Mike Patterson only being an 84. He should at least be a 87-88, that is just ridiculous.

Re: Madden 09 Player and Team Ratings

Whoa...Todd Collins is an 85??? WTF???

Wasn't he in the 70's or something last yr?

The guy plays the last 4 games of the season, never throws for over 300 yards in any of those games, loses in the playoffs, and get's an overall ratings increase by like 10 points???

I just don't get it...He shouldn't be an 85.

Bulger's an 89 and Garcia's an 89, Delhomme's an 85, Cutler is only one point better at an 86 and you're going to tell me Todd freaking Collins is right up there w/ them???

If the above is the "gold' standard in ratings breakdown then it even further baffles me how they can make Todd Collins an 85...?

Re: Madden 09 Player and Team Ratings

BCJMU99 actually Klecko has been a Goaline FB, LB, and DT for many years. It's not like he hasn't played the position in the NFL at all. He just hasn't played FB every down.
