No i'm not sure how much football you've watched but Peterson isn't a 80 strength either his combine #'s reflected that already
If you want to add the arcade element into the game then fine give him 80+ strength like most Offensive Linemen
But I prefer to stick to true numbers and Data......
I'm not going to tell you how to get the true numbers because when a guy already has their mind made up it's not worth even debating but this is Adrian Peterson true ratings from his NFL workout numbers
His combine #'s by draftscout show how he tested out this is data i used to create ratings for Peterson
http://www.nfldraftscout.com/ratings...2007&genpos=RB
This is how his testing numbers graded out in Madden using real DATA similiar information that the guy at FGBratings utilizes on all current NFL players

My Numbers on Peterson are very close to that aswell using draftscout.com
These aren't #'s just thrown together just because it's Adrian Peterson or Bo Jackson.....if you feel just because it's Bo Jackson then 99's in every rating is needed then your obviously one of those guys who prefer VIDEO GAME ARCADE #'s over TRUE DATA #'s to represent a player....VIDEO GAME ARCADE #"s leads to arcade type of play in a SIM GAME
Even his strength on the 90 Raiders in Madden was not 80+.....but he was rated as one the strongest backs in the game even being in the 70's but that might because Madden actuallly didn't start giving RB's 80+ strength until the game moved over to NEXT GEN and even up til Madden 06 you didn't see the exaggerated strength ratings being increased in order to boost up the Players overall ratings.
And i've read no reports where Bo had a 40 inch vertical either
But then again the fact that some people even mentioned Techmo Bowl Football for handling his ratings is all i needed to hear.........
Now if you choose to not actually try to research people and just want to throw something out there then fine that is your choice but my i idea of a true player doesn't mean to give him 99's accross the boards just because he was a freak of nature.....
The 98 speed and 99 accceleration given to Bo Jackson already makes him a freak of Nature for a man that size....

I hardly doubt even Bo Jackson was strong enough to block 280-300 lb DT's every down which is where the strength rating for RB's come into play that is why they have a Truck rating, Stiff Arm rating and Break Tackle rating to simulate his power running style
So i guess the answer is up to the OP does he want a 99 overall rated Bo Jackson using ARCADE MODE ratings or does he want a 99 overall rated Bo Jackson with more natural ratings that reflect his true Physical Ability without venturing into the ARCADE version of him.
