As you can see if you check out the screens, here:

You can see a lot of player ratings there. Maybe it is just me, but the overalls look way too high. Some of them look good, but I am a Falcon fan and no way does Gonzalez deserve a 97 anymore. Maybe have him at 91 or around there. I know I have always thought the ratings were too high, but these flat out look like the ratings before they stretched them out. Just way too many 90s. This is also why I do my own ratings. I can keep players as low as I like them, and not have to worry about EA making everybody crazy high.
My final note is that Terrance Newman is an 85. The Cowboys secondary was awful last year. If he was any good at all last year, they would pay a lot to keep him in order to not get any worse, but most people believe he won't even be a Cowboy next year. My point is wow he is rated way too high. He should be rated maybe an 81 but even that may be too high.
