    Madden 12 Top 4 Quarterbacks (Review)

    There are many great Quarterbacks in Madden 12 and we all have our different opinion but I am going to write about the most popular and well known Quarterbacks in the NFL and on the game.

    Drew Brees
    Brees is my favourite QB in real life and also in the game. He has it all. Strength, Determination and Accuracy. Not many Quarterbacks give the team talk but you will find that Drew is the emotional leader for New Orleans. A few years ago he featured on Sports Science where he went against an Olympic Archer. The aim was to fire at a real life archer target and see who was more accurate. The archer hit the centre 7/10 whilst Drew Brees showed his skill and hit a stunning 10/10. In Madden he has to be one of the most accurate. He does not seem to be that fast where is real life he can dodge defenders so I think that needs to be dealt with. Colston is defiantly his favourite target followed by Jimmy Graham. Both are not that fast but are very strong and lethal in man coverage. If you are looking for an Accurate, Strong and Solid Quarterback then defiantly go for Brees.

    Aaron Rodgers
    In my opinion this guy is the second best QB on the game and in real life. He has the best Wide Receiver set to aim for with names such as Jennings, Driver and Nelson. Finley is also one of the best Tight Ends on the game so he is there to also corral in the passes. Green Bay have Cobb coming through the ranks as well who is a speed demon. In a few years time on Madden and possibly in real life he will develop into a new common target for Rodgers. In game he hardly ever over throws passes. He is super accurate and is surprisingly fast when rushing. I once scored three TD's with him in one game against Chicago. One of his flaws is that he fumbles fairly often when hit by a defender. Some other QB's do but not as much as Aaron. Overall he is great and will fit perfectly with a great set of Wide Receivers just like Green Bay have.

    Tom Brady
    This guy has been there, done that and got the ring to prove it. Playing for one of the best teams in the AFC he is clipped as the best QB in some peoples mind. However not in mine and certainly not on Madden. He has the Power, Speed and Accuracy but does not seem to put that to use in Madden. Yes, he will come up with some good throws but seems to lack a bit when throwing medium and deep passes. To gain any major yardage it is always these small and short throws to a HB or a WR on a slant route. I would be happy to use him in Madden 12 but would rather choose Brees and Rodgers over him.

    Ben Roethlisberger
    Known as 'Big Ben' he is certainly big and because of this he is slow and is not efficient when rushing compared to Rodgers. What I love about Ben when using him in Madden is his accuracy on deep throws. They almost certainly connect with the Wide Receiver. Especially when you have pacey and talented receivers in Hines Ward and Mike Wallace. I am going to admit that I have not played as the Steelers thousands of times but enough to discover that he is an elite QB. The Steelers Offensive Line gives him enough time in the Pocket to pick out a pass and throw the ball. In the next couple of days I am probably going to start a Franchise with Pittsburgh. I wish to face Green Bay in the Superbowl and this time for the Steelers to win. I am a Saints fan so would not mind if they won it.

    My opinions and overview
    Now we all have our own opinion as mentioned at the beginning but here are mine. Since Drew Brees is my favourite player in real life then of course he is my favourite to play with in Madden too which is true. I love leading the Saints to the Superbowl with him and I can always count on him making the plays and putting his skills to the test. I also enjoy playing with the Packers and Rodgers. His accuracy is amazing and with receivers like Jennings, it is nearly impossible to stop their passing attack.

    An Olympic archer fires from 70 metres. I could hit the bull half the time from 20 yards and I suck. Biased comments on Sports Science.

        Good write up except you put Tom Brady in The NFC. And Brees is fairly quick in Madden. A 66 in speed I believe.

          Sorry you are entitled to your opinion but Rodgers is better then Brees IRL.

          He should have said "You will see Kurt Warner come out of retirement. That's about it."

            Because his team is undefeated? Because Rodgers is simply faster?

            I 100% believe Brees is more accurate throwing the ball, that's not to ding Rodgers though, he's lethal as well.

              Yes that is my opinion. And I personally think Brees is better. Rodgers has better WR to aim for and also a better defence than the Saints. But I honestly think that if Packers played the Saints at the Superdome then New Orleans would win. I honestly think that.

                What happened to Peyton Manning? He is still in the Madden game. Just because his season and maybe his career is over right now for the Colts, doesn't mean he is not one of the best QBs in Madden. Aaron Rodgers is good, but he isn't one of the elite Madden quarterbacks. Brees, Roethlisberger, Brady, yes. Rodgers no. Michael Vick is though and I don't see his name on this list. It is very upsetting. And don't forget about the rookies this year, we have Andy Dalton and Cameron Newton. They are making impacts on there teams this year and are pretty good in Madden has well.

                      Um, the packers have a much better chance of beating the saints at the superdome then the saints do of having to beat the packers at lambeau, in january.

                        Not at all, If the Packers went to the Dome I reckon the Saints would win, Have not lost this season at the dome. Who have been green bays biggest challenge this year? New orleans, and we was 1 yeard off getting that TD and if possible the 2 pointer. I hope we play them at the dome in the NFC Championship and if we win I will be like, I told you so. WHO DAT!

                          The Saints are a one dimensional team with a piss poor defense. They may not even win the South!

                            HAHA! Quite clearly not are they. That is why we are considered an elite team. We came the closest to winning Green Bay. YOU DIDNT. And we won Falcons so dont cry about it!!!

                              I'm sorry but I really don't agree with those ratings at all, and I'm pretty unbiased since I'm not a huge fan of any particular team, if anything, I sympathize with the Pats but I think it's not a huge difference whether you use Brees, Brady or Manning in the game. They all have all the throwing stats to make things happen, they are accurate and have high awareness, which is great, but since a lot of passing accuracy really depends on you, the player, the difference between them is marginal at best.

                              Rogers is really better than all of them by default simply because he is more mobile, which is just as huge a weapon in the game as it is IRL, if not more so. I can make all the throws with all of the elite QBs, but Brees will never scramble as fast as Rodgers, simple fact.

                              And you for some reason completely ignored Michael Vick. While I really don't like him IRL and I think his huge flaws have been exposed this season like I expected, it's hard to deny that he is still the best offensive weapon you can have in Madden. Yes, he's not quite as accurate as the elite, but does that really matter? He has the arm strength and if you are good at directional passing, there's not a huge difference on intermediate routes, while at the same time, he is still ridiculously fast and can outrun all Dlinemen in the game as well as almost all linebackers.

                              If we're talking about picking a QB for one game alone, I'd always take Vick, he's by far the best QB in the game in the sense of "the QB that gives me the best chance to win". Of course, I wouldn't want him in a franchise, simply because he's too old by now and will begin to lose his elite physical talent in a season or two.
