Madden 09 Player and Team Ratings

Re: Madden 09 Player and Team Ratings

Samuel isnt the best CB in football he is like # 3 or 4 in my book. Asmougha is the best to me. No one throws at him, and when they do its picked off. Samuel takes too many chances in coverage, he really fit that belichick system and its to be seen how he fares when he doesn't always have safety help. He deserves a 95 IMO

Re: All Madden 09 Player Ratings!!

If the above is the "gold' standard in ratings breakdown then it even further baffles me how they can make Todd Collins an 85...?

I was kinda stating that rating system was how it was in Madden 2003 which IMO was better........ not only would it make more use of the range between overalls across the league (the very worst players would be in the 30s only 10-12 players would be 95+), but it would let people better distinguish what a weakness on a team was.

Todd Collins would probably be in the 75-79 range if we currently used the overall rating equation they used back then.

Re: Madden 09 Player and Team Ratings

BCJMU99 actually Klecko has been a Goaline FB, LB, and DT for many years. It's not like he hasn't played the position in the NFL at all. He just hasn't played FB every down.

He hasn't played FB for the Eagles...there, FIXED. Either way, 70 overal suits him fine. William Perry played the FB on the goalline doesn't mean you know the position.

Re: Madden 09 Player and Team Ratings

I still dont get how you guys say what a player should be rated. It seems totally arbitrary to me. There has to be a better way to 'rate' players.

Would it be all that bad for players not to have any ratings, or have their ratings hidden? We know how good Manning is. We know how good LT is. WE should be able to 'rate' them based on how they play in the game. For rookies and draft classes, the only way to know if so
someone is good or not would be to use their scouting and see how they play on the field.

Example:

Rookie DE is 6'5 runs a 4.5 40 , benches 25 reps, has a 35 inch vert and scored a 20 on the wonderlic test. Then, give some college stats. That would allow the player to 'play' more rather than the game coming right out and telling you clear as day how good someone is.

Re: Madden 09 Player and Team Ratings

Pretty accurate ratings distribution for the Titans, though all those guys at 88 seems a little arbitrary, and LenDale White definitely seems a little underrated at only a 84. At least they got it right that the Titans O-line is the strength of their offense.

The only real head-scratcher is how the Titans have all those highly-rated starters and only got rated a 84 overall (tied with Broncos for 18th best team rating) .

Re: Madden 09 Player and Team Ratings

Also, it would be awesome if anyone can:

1) turn this data into a text file

2) compose some position-specific rankings for the whole league

still that do you want to do this tedious process for a team of players that you may not know strentgths or weaknesses about?

Well, the Chiefs are far from the worst team in the game....ok well....they at least aren't the worst team in the game. They are tied for worst in the division, and there is no hope to be had. If anything, I can actually enjoy rebuilding the Chiefs now and they will most definitely be my team in my Madden franchise by default. Look out for the Pats and Cowboys online though, yikes!

Glen Dorsey as an 84...talk about a cap eater and beastly man in a few years of Madden...yikes!

The offense doesn't look too far off. I'm interested to see what I'm going to do with two 78 overall guys at QB, I might trade Huard for another lineman or something. Who knows....

That's half the fun of franchise mode ... making the team you take over into YOUR team! I love trading away high-priced older veterans for lower rated young players and extra draft picks. Then build your team into a champ thru the draft.

Yep, I think I might try to put together another super draft for the Chiefs in my first year with them. I'm not sure who all I will trade away, but I can bet it'll be a significant number of guys that I'm paying a lot for...either way, it should be a fun year overall

Of course you have to be careful trading away players they previously gave a rediculous bonus' to because it can really kill your cap when you trade them away early (probably the biggest reason C.J. is still with the Bengals).
