The issue there is that you'll get proper separation of ratings for one year. After the incoming draft class, you'll again be at EA's mercy with regards to ratings.

Nice work EA!! Brice Butler has been making big noise for the Raiders since OTA's and has even been getting 1st team reps, but since he was drafted in the 7th round, I guess he deserves his 59 ovr. Nice work there.... I am soooooooo thankful for Madden share this year.

Geno is only 73 but has nice speed at 85, THP at 92 and Short Med and Deep accuracy to build off of.

Also Chris Ivory looks like a mini beast. 96 truck, 97 stiff arm

It's always been like that for the next-gen. Every team is (usually) good. I guess the NFL doesn't want to hurt any of the players feelings and tells EA they have to keep them close.

This is why I never understood why people get upset every year about ratings.

They're never right.

John Sullivan is the highest rated Center in the game with a 95.. I mean.. Come on. I consider him our third best lineman (and not the best Center in the game) and the next highest one on our team is an 89 I believe.

Did they really take out acceleration, like someone posted earlier or did I miss the sarcasm? And if they did in fact remove it, why?

Nothing against Larry or anything, but this is what Madden needs to do more of. Moore is quick to raise a player's rating, but typically it takes a lot for him to lower guys in any meaningful way. This is partly why there is very little separation between players.

Case in point guys like Ray Lewis and Troy Polamalu from the previous few years.

A 85 should not be average. But more than that, the individual ratings need to have much greater separation.

Also, I am currently unable to view the file. Is acceleration truly not showing up? I have to believe it would be a mistake; surely EA would not remove one of the most important attributes in the game...right??
(people need to understand that acceleration is almost always more important than speed)

Gotta disagree with you and side with Donny Moore on this one. Until guys prove it when it counts they should not get the benefit of the doubt. Also check his actual ratings. His skillset may be decent but low awareness may be keeping him down.

Edit: Anyone wanna be a good e-samaritan and look up Flacco's throwing power?

He did play against Houston in the playoffs where he re-broke his arm.

I remember last year during Chiefs camp and OTA's, Jon Baldwin was the talk of the town. Everyday there was a new story about how great Jon Baldwin was doing and was going to be last year. This catch:



had people thinking he was the second coming of Randy Moss. 20 catches and a 2-14 season later and you're probably still asking yourself 'Who the hell is Jon Baldwin?'.
