DONNY please use THE SPORTING NEWS RANKINGS to help determine PLAYER RATINGS!!(link)

[rckabillyRaider]

Bottom line is that the ratings that the Madden team goes with, will not please a lot of us as we all have our own opinion to what a players rating should be. So just let the rating be as they may and hopefully we will be able to edit our rosters however we please.

Couldn't disagree with you more, there are ratings from 1-100, for the first time in years, they are using them. Thank God.

Please don't use these.

• Bob Sanders the 4th best safety in the NFL ?.. no.
• Donte Whitner better than KERRY RHODES!?!?
• Jason Peters above Roos ? Samuels at 10 ? HAHA
• Dielman is better than 5th at Guard
• Dallas Clark above Antonio Gates...*face palm*
• Saturday at 7 and Meester out of the top 10 ? WHAAT ?
• Eli over Rodgers and Hasselbeck ? EH
• Delhomme over Pennington ? WHEN!?
• BRANDON JACOBS is better than Frank Gore and Clinton Portis!!!!??? Oh my god...
• Do they seriously have McFadden over D. Will ?..typo, right ?
• Osi over Tuck is flat out wrong.
• Trent Cole at 15 is equally as laughable as it is criminal.
• Chris freakin' Canty is better than Casey Hampton and Tommie Harris....sigh.
• James Farrior at 7 is ludicrous. As is Antonio Pierce over London Fletcher.
• Antonio.. Cromartie....and DeAngelo.. Hall...are ranked higher than Terrance Newman and Charles Woodson.......and Sheldon Brown is not in the top 20 let alone top 5 where he belongs. I'm gonna be sick..

Jeez I am 100% on board with you bro lol the rankings are atrocious. I mean EA/Madden has been improving for a while now to accurately rate guys, using these SN's ratings would be a GIANT leap backwards.

Note: Canty 5th DT Ratliff DT 15th I could have sworn they played on the same team last year and one was clearly a playmaker (Ratliff) and one was just above average (Canty) <-- add the fact he has not proven he play DT yet jeez.

Oh Yeah Olshansky should have no part in the top 20.

[PYA-MUSTANG86]

The sporting news ranking are a joke. Deangelo Hall is ranked ahead of Charles Woodson, enough said. I wouldn't put Hall in the top 20 as far as CB's go. And Aaron Rodgers only 14th best QB???? Behind guys like Romo, Cutler, and Hasslebeck. Rodgers is at least a top 5 or 6 QB in the NFL. And Romo the raging Homo sucks and is overrated. Greg Jennings is also better at this point then TO, Lee Evans amung others that were listed ahead of him. He's a top 5 WR in the NFL.

The "No Hey Ian!" rule carries over to the entire Madden 10 team.
