'Cept the raiders have Darren McFadden and that's about it.. the eagles on the other hand have one of the biggest rosters in the NFL. Use some logic.

The Raiders are ok at 70 but the Eagles should be at 76.

I will use some logic then

Champ > then any corner on the Eagels
Manning > Vick
Doom > any end on the eagles
Miller & Williams > any OLB for the eagles

McCoy> Mcghee
Celic> Dressen
Eagles WR > Broncos WR (due to young roster for Broncos)

So I need to hear how how the Eagles are still an 84 while another 8-8 team is 76. Eagles are rated to high due to the favoritism that the NFC East gets. All those teams are fairly overrated, except the Giants, but they earned their rating.

But I like how these are so spread out hopefully that means actual individual ratings are stretched also.

Honestly, I don't give a damn how each team is ranked...as long as they play the way the should and individual players play like their real life counterparts. It doesn't really matter.

First off as a life long Eagles fan I understand why some are saying we shouldn't be that high. However, regardless of our horrible record last year we are one of the most talented teams in the league, top to bottom. You simply don't know football if you deny this. Lots of things were going on internally last year with coaches as well as players. There's no need to go through rosters, because I'm sure most of you don't even watch the Eagles unless their highlights are on Sportscenter.

Also, a few pages back I saw a Saints fan saying that Broderick Bunkley was the #1 running stuffing DT. All I can do is LMAO at that comment. Bunk is a below average player. Trust me, you will see first hand how bad he is.

I know the trend has been getting lower for years, but these are pretty darn low!

As a Bronco fan I would say that the Eagles don't know Defensive talent since Bunk was a great run stuffing DT. Problem is if I remember the Eagels like their DT to get a pass rush which he doesn't do that well. Hence why the Eagles didn't mind getting rid of him. But if you watch football you know Bunk is one of the best run stuffing DT in the league right now. Whether he did it for a contract is besides the point. He was one of the best last year.

And talent means nothing if they don't work well in a scheme together like I will just use your guy's corners. One is great in man the other was great in zone. That is a bad mix lol, and doesn't help. But the fact is the game doesn't have the other ratings matter as much as speed which really screws up online, because of that. Speed kills so poor teams like the Raiders and Eagles. Hopefully they rated the players right because that is truely what matters, and that the other ratings matter I will be good.

Dolphins 68, fair overall compared to their season last year, they did do better towards the end of the season, but they'll have to prove themselves for a better overall this year.

Re: Madden NFL 13 Team Ratings from E3 Build

Ravens rated way too low. This coming from a Steelers fan, they did great last year. Both should be an 83. Giants shouldn't be rated lower than the Steelers.

In the video it looks like the Colts have a rating of 73 and the Skins are 77. Obviously still being worked on and tinkered with.

You shouldn't go there, man. I've heard that way too much over the years and when I hear it, people just come off as uninformed.

He was very good for us. The fan base wanted him to be a sack master at DT since he had that potential coming out of college. What he became was a force in the run game along side Mike Patterson. If anything, both those players were underrated for years. If Bunk never got hurt, Antonio Dixon would never have had a chance to take his job. Jim Johnson's scheme was about disguising his pressure and he had his D-line play the run first and allow his LBs and safeties to blitz. Sean McDermott copied that philosophy too. Juan Castillo and Jim Washburn installed an entirely new scheme and Bunk was expendable. He had a great year with the Broncos and he will greatly help out the Saints D-line.

We have a lot of delusional Eagles fans here

As for the Eagles rating, I said it earlier that an argument could be made either way. The Eagles had a top ten offense and defense. The Eagles, along with the Cowboys, blew more 4th quarter leads than any other team in the league. Most of those 8 losses came from the defense collapsing from mental errors early in the season and Vick regressing and throwing bad picks in key situations.

The team itself is still top tier by talent level alone. I'm not saying that guarantees them a spot in the playoffs, I'm just saying that you can't ignore stats when giving a rating in a video game. At this point I'm more defending my team than the actual rating, which I wouldn't be upset to see a bit lower.


Let me end with this (again repeating from my earlier post)...

We DO NOT know the formula used to get these team ratings so any arguments arising from them are pointless.

Re: Madden NFL 13 Team Ratings from E3 Build

I do disagree putting the Rams ahead of both the Raiders and Dolphins though, I try to not overrate my team because I knew they've been bad, but I disagree with the Rams being over them.

This is my humble opinion on who is over/underrated right now. I will try to keep equilibrium between over/underrated so there isn't a bunch up in ratings.

Overrated
Redskins

Slightly Overrated
Pitt
Eagles
Cowboys
Jets

Slightly Underrated
Giants
Ravens
Broncos

Underrated
Niners
Texans
Saints
Lions
