Madden Player Ratings (09)

[iBlievN5]

i think rating players in a historical context is wrong. so when ppl say "oh, i think 95+ is HOF worthy" that bothers me as the players in the HOF played in a different era and probably wouldn't be 80s in madden. anywho, steve smith should certainly be in the 95+, dude is a beast.

A.D 95-stiff arm 95- elusiveness 95-juke 95-spin are you serious does this even sound realistic. this type of garbage ratings is what causes his to throw off linemen that weigh twice his weight.

i understand the aspect of where your coming from wit the HB ratings but thats why EA needs to implament a weight system so stiff arming a 300lb DT wont be effective....still IMO peyton still deserves a 95+ brah

you cannot count a year that he was injured for basically half of as a bad season....thats like saying Tom Brady had a bad year this past season...even with that injured season he is averaging 10 sacks and 5 Forced Fumbles a season and that is what he got last season with the exception of 4 FF instead of 5....He was rated 95 in Madden 08 so he actually went up one in 09....

Im sure im missing some.

Warner, McBriar, the punter in Buffalo, Gostkowski, DeMeco Ryans?, not Al Harris but Charles Woodson instead, at FS a case could be made for Nick Collins (Ed Reed lite), Joey Porter, Vince Wilfork, Casey Hampton, Osi Umenyiora, Rob Bironas, C for Chicago, Shawne Merriman, Steve Smith, Calvin Johnson, Michael Roos, Ryan Clady, Shaun Rogers, Kris Jenkins, Pat Williams, Shawn Andrews, FB for the Giants.

my point is 95 in numbers dont leave room for human error.

i am looking at it too practical i guess.

I am not sure why some people want such a restrictive number of 95+ players, I think 50 is even slightly low. That is just over 1.5 players, on average, per team above that number. I am all for stretched ratings, but there are a lot of elite players in the league that deserve to be rated as such.

And I think Calvin Johnson should be on that list of 95+ players.

Exactly. If we were to get "The Galloping Ghost" Red Grange to play at his prime(1920s) vs todays nfl he wouldnt get half of what he did back in the day.

Steve Smith may be short but he plays so dynamic I cant see how he would be rated under 95+. The man is everything you could want in a WR besides his height and more.

yea he might have went up in 09 but this yr wit the ratings drop he'll be 93-90 rating....and i fully understand the injury arguement i just dont believe he'll be 95+ this yr especially wit the ratings drop

right now his count was 50 correct....didnt i say it was inaccurate tho....Donny himself said it was subject to change....nothing is set in stone.... basically if i made it seem that way my bad
