Re: Madden NFL 10 Blog: Player Ratings - A New Philosophy, A New Era

49ers coach Mike Singletary, the HoF linebacker that many rank in the top 3 of all time, said that Patrick Willis may end up better than HE was...

That's a lot, even coming from Singletary. To be honest, it wouldn't surprise me. I'm a Falcons fan and I can't tell you how devastated I was when they chose Jamaal Anderson instead of Willis. We've got a solid MLB in place now (Curtis Lofton, drafted in 2nd round of 2008), but I wanted Willis SOOOOOOO bad. I wouldn't bet against him. I just don't know that he warrants a 99 now.

Of course, this is a video game, so I shouldn't lose sleep over it. The dude's a beast.

Patrick Willis wasn't drafted 11th... he was drafted 1st twice...

Patrick Willis once ran a fumble and an interception for a TD... on the same play.

Patrick Willis once sacked a QB before the ball was snapped. He was not offsides.

Patrick Willis wears pads and a helmet because the NFL rules require it. Everyone else wears pads and a helmet because of Patrick Willis.

Chances are you have been or will be tackled by Patrick Willis at least once in your lifetime...

etc...

Get it????

LOL! Those are funny as hell!

Let me guess: Patrick Willis once won a game of Connect Four in three moves.

I'm not doubting him at all; dude's a beast.

Alright so I haven't read this entire thread, I just now read the blog, but do you think these ratings will actually make Steve Smith an effective receiver?

And hopefully we can get that near 99 speed away from Adrian Peterson, if Chris Johnson is 99, AP deserves around a 94 95

I think that Big Ben should get a pocket evasion rating, Santonio holmes should have a balance rating or have high awareness in order to make those sideline catches.

Wide outs like Wes Welker should have a rating that allows them to fool a LB or Db with a cut move allowing them to gain those extra yards.

Wide outs such as Moss should have an ability that allows them to make a leaping or diving one handed catch like that in 08 but expand the animations and make them more varied.

There should be a wrap up tackle rating that allows a LB or Db to wrap up a ball carrier and not be shaken off with a juke, spin or stiff arm.

Troy Polamalu should have an ability to go after a ball if it is tipped and make the catch like in the game against the chargers in the playoffs.

I think that the highlight stick should be taken away and instead of flicking the right stick up to dodge or truck a defender, it should be used to lower the shoulder like hines ward and hit the defender in order to get those extra few feet. The truck should stop both players and they should fall apart a few feet then slam into one another again this would make running with the ball much more realistic instead of just running over or slipping under a tackler.

I understand that this will be a pain to implement and I can relate to that because I am into programming and Animation but these things will really improve gameplay.
