Madden's Forgettable Five Over Seventy-Five

Maybe Bob Sanders. I don't know how he is since he's injured All THE TIME.

The ratings in Madden, like or dislike, force you to play up to them. Reggie Bush is a perimeter runner. His tackle breaking is low, his BCV is low, his carrying is low. Therefore, he shouldn't be running between the tackles trying to find holes against guys with 80-99 tackling. He needs to be outside running in open space where BCV isn't as important an tacklers are in the 50-79 range and he has less chance of fumbling. This article IMO reflect the general lack of knowing football that 90% of players have. "Ronde Barber gets beat deep and in man to man". No crap Sherlock. He is a Cover Two corner, but it sounds like the writer of this has no idea what that means. "Shawn Merriman can only rush the passer." Yeah... AND? That is what Shawn Merriman has always been. A Pass rush specialist. He is 90% of the time the blitzing LB in a 3-4. If the author understood defenses, he would understand THAT. "Kolb can't pass deep. Larry Fitzgerald needs a deep passer." WHAT?! Fitz is an AMAZING reciever, but he is not a "deep threat" receiver. He is like Jerry Rice and Chris Carter. He catches short to medium passes and takes them the distance. Yes, he can catch the occasional deep ball, but it is not his game. "Mike Williams is slow and not elusive." POSSESSION RECEIVER. Does this author realize that not every receiver in the NFL is DeSean Jackson? This article is pathetic and illustrates the contradicting personality of the majority of the Madden "Community" and the fact that when presented WITH realism, they can't handle it because they don't understand football. "I WANT REALISM. I WANT THE NFL ON MY XBOX!!" "OMG!!! RONDE BARBER CAN'T MAN UP ON ANDRE JOHNSON!! HE SUCKS!! HOW IS HE AN 85?!?!" El oh el.

What havokeff said exactly! Please learn the game of football.

Have any of you played with the Williamses or Barber and Merinam? They suckk. Players rated over 75 should be able to do multiple things, not just okay zone, catch s pasx and fall down or rush the passed. That's the point they are rated too highly for their skill set, thus overrated.

Ugh. This guy seems like the epitome of what ruins Madden for me...

But I thought ratings didn't matter in madden, just the speed?

The Law Firm and LeGarrette Blount are so underated for running backs that it's rediculous. IMO, both should be 85-89 ovr.
