Theres also other teams littered with much better talent.

Oh i dont know, maybe because they ranked 22nd in yards, 22nd in PPG just a mere FG away from the 28th ranked team, 21st in Yards per play, 19th in first downs, 23rd in passing yards per game, 22nd in passing TDs per game, 15th in rushing yards per attempt, 16th in rushing TDs, 29th in red zone conversion percentage below 50%, 16th in Sacks, 18th in Pass Deflections, 26th in Interceptions, 12th in fumbles, only a +3 in TO differential, etc


I mean the list goes on and on and on and on, statistically speaking, they were below average to mediocre at almost literally everything last year

If that translates to being one of the best teams in the league then its time for someone else to do the ratings, but then again madden gets it wrong every year with the cowboys so this is why no one is surprised.

Until they win something they should never break the top 10. Never.

These guys (Cowboys) have stars or superstars at every position. I think their Madden rating more or less reflects that. The fact that they somehow always fail to put it on the field is a whole different story.

I wouldn't be so pissed off. It's only a TEAM rating after all. Doesn't really affect the gameplay in Play Now or CFM, one way or the other, as far as I know. But as a cannon fodder for heated online discussions, it's apparently invaluable.

Every team has talent.
Rating players based on talent alone is a pretty flawed method.

Ravens had a better offense and defense then the cowboys yet according to the formula and ratings are a worse team even though both teams finished with a 10-6 record

Well, the tradition of overrating them had to technically come first!

Theres at least 5 teams i can name off the top of my head with more stars and talent. No one is pissed off, we are just calling it the fraud that it is.

I honestly feel like they did a good job with the ratings this year. I can understand the balance with the ratings before the season starts. I'm sure they will change as the season plays out. I never fret about preseason rankings anyway.

The team OVR rating is merely a sum of the players OVR ratings .. ie a reflection of the talent level on the roster

Its does not take into account play calling , scheme , coaching and any number of other things that make a successful team

I'm a skins fan an even I can see the cowboys have a talented roster , whether that translates to wins is another matter
