Madden NFL 10: Top Ten Position Ratings (Gamespot)

[Steve_OS]

Gamespot has posted the top ten positional ratings for Madden NFL 10. Not all positions of course, and I'm sure most will change before release, but it's interesting.

"During the show, Eisen and company revealed the top ten players at several positions in the upcoming Madden 10, as well as their overall ratings. Here's how things will break down this season."

Slaton is a typo. Slaton an 87, not 97.

Re: Madden NFL 10: Top Ten Position Ratings (Gamespot)

There seems to be more 98s and 99s then I expected, especially on defense.

[Americas Team1]

Re: Madden NFL 10: Top Ten Position Ratings (Gamespot)

I thought Ware would be 99 but hey.........I guess 98 is pretty good to

Haloti Ngata 95
Terrell Suggs 93
Derrick Mason 92
Jared Gaither 90
Ben Grubbs 90

I would use something like this:

89-91 QB Pennington (Had MVP-like season without much consideration)

86-89 RB Ronnie Brown

93-96 OLB Joey Porter (Great Defensive Season)

80-82 OLB Matt Roth (One of the best run-stuffing LBs in the league, one-dimensional)

84-87 CB Will Allen (Quiet year, was avoided much of the year because of a lack of depth at CB on other side, did well when called upon)

86-89 SS Yeremiah Bell (Ball-hawk SS with no catch ability. Plays the run very well and is always near the ball to make a tackle).

79-82 WR Davone Bess (Great slot receiver, undersized but good hands and best route runner on the team, expect Camarillo and Ginn to be around same rating)

95-98 OT Jake Long (Excellent run blocker, knock on him coming out of UMich was pass blocking, handled speed rushers very well despite this critiscim).

84-87 OT Vernon Carey (Doesn't excel at anything, has played LT as well. Would have been most coveted free agent RT on the market had the Phins not resigned him.)

80-83 C Jake Grove (Oft injured but large center, key free-agent pickup)

Also, interested in knowing what Donald Thomas would be rated at. He only got 1 game into the season last year, but the team was raving about him before a season ending injury. Was a late round pick in 2008 who beat out a bunch of players for the starting LG spot.

So... that is my guess to 10 players on the team and where I could possibly see their ratings. Note this isn't what I think the 10 best Phins players should be, it's just a broad range of players and guesses as to where their ratings may be given the previous season.

Wouldn't mind knowing shawne merriman's rating? Hopefully he didn't take to big of a dive.
