Well I didn't know he was the only offseason move for the Packers. But I did my research.
# Finished the season with eight tackles (five solo) and two special teams tackles
# Inactive for four games plus the NFC Wild Card game at Philadelphia (Jan. 7)

No wonder Favre wanted to be traded ;-)

Frank Walker is a Cornerback who has played for the giants the past 4 seasons. It's not like he is a rookie or an unknown player, Afterall he has been in the NFL for 5 years now.

I am a little biased but I think my boy Ronald Curry on the raiders should be rated higher than a 78

i really wish there was more discrepancy with these ratings. i dont see why every sports game seems to rate a ton of guys in the 90s. to me rookies should never be as high as they are and only the most elite players be over 90 or even 85.

One of the great things about the 2k series, when it came to ratings. Only the really great got those kinds of 90+ ratings. In Madden, it's ridicuous. Everyone should have 10 overall rating points taken off right off the top.

I can't believe I've roped myself into a conversation about Frank Walker. Not every one makes the game. Tom Brady was left out on the PS2 version of 02 (or 01) if it makes you feel better it looks like Bam Childress isn't in the game either.

Im very well aware of the fact that not every player makes the game however I just think a guy that has been in previous versions of Madden, is a 5 year veteran of the NFL, and was signed way back in March deserves to be on his respective team. But that is just an opinion of a fellow Madden fan. He will probably be in the free agent pool on the game anyway so lets move on.

The only problem I have is the fact that Carson Palmer is a 54 in speed. He ran a 4.54 40 at the NFL workouts. They make him out to be Drew Bledsoe. Im glad we can edit ratings this year. I can't wait to see the Saints and Bushs ratings. Bush better not be rated higher than Maroney.
