Madden NFL 12 Player Ratings - Buffalo Bills and Miami Dolphins

[ThaShark28_316]

ESPN The Gamer has posted the Madden NFL 12 player ratings for the Buffalo Bills and Miami Dolphins.

Are there any changes you would like to see, or are they just about right?

Well my initial reaction to the ratings is...why did they ever stop stretching ratings!!!!! I will have to do this manually this year now.

Quick thoughts on the Bills.
Fred Jackson seems a bit low
Why on earth is Shawn Nelson so high? He as never done anything
Seems like Chris Hairston is a bit high for a 5th rd pick. Kelvin Sheppard and Da'Norris Searcy should be higher than him IMO.
I think Merriman is too high and Moats is too low

Im going to sit on these ratings. These seem old. We wont know how well players are until we put the game in. I expect EA to hold out on the Rosters until last minute.

Just a valid guess!

For the Dolphins, it's disgusting how low Bess' rating is. Apparently they haven't watched a dolphins game ever, I don't blame them, but still.

He has like one of the best catch ratings and route running ratings in the game. What more do you want? He isn't a #1 WR but he still has ridiculous hands and runs routes ridiculously well.

From what I've read and how I've interpreted everything, these are the day 1 player ratings but the roster moves will be updated. So the team they play for will be different, but the ratings won't.

Alright as far as overalls are concerned...
Overrated-
Shawn Nelson
Poz (slightly)
Kelsay
Keith Ellison
Whitner
Bart Scott (slightly)

Underrated-
Roscoe
Donald Jones (slightly)
Fred Jackson
Demetrius Bell (slightly)
Arthur Moats (slightly)
Kelvin Sheppard (slightly)
Kyle Williams (slightly)
Alex Carrington (slightly)
Torrell Troup (slightly)
George Wilson (slightly)

Most of this is nitpicking but as an avid follower it seems necessary. And how in the Hell is Freddie worse than Ronnie Brown and even with Ricky Williams!!! Fun Fact time! in the 2nd half of the season (when Freddie actually was starting) he was 6th amongst all RBs in rushing yards. 80 overall, how did he get worse??? I definitely will be making changes as I see fit

And, there, gentlemen, is why the stretched ratings thing is not like what it used to be. Everybody and their momma thinks Donny Moore has it out for their team and is under-rating everyone.

Haha the players I had underrated slightly were off by 1 or 2 OVR points tops. But I understand where you are going with it. I don't think he is out for us, it's more like he is uneducated on our team. My proposal would be to split up the job of ratings into a committee. Have 1 ratings person per division and have everyone on the same page on what each individual rating means and how it translates. Then players will have a better chance at being more accurate. Just an idea though...
