Madden NFL 09 Quarterbacks Analysis
Richard Chavez checks in today with a take on which quarterbacks in Madden NFL 09 were hosed with their ratings and which ones must've paid money to EA under the table to get the ratings they did. Check out his take here.
"For the most part, the guys at EA get their ratings largely correct. Every year, there are some suspect ratings that drive people nuts. For now, I’m going to take a look at the quarterbacks you’ll be playing with in August to determine if EA was right or wrong with their ratings. You’ll see which ratings are downright suspect and which quarterbacks made those extra calls to EA."Tags: None -
Re: Madden NFL 09 Quarterbacks Analysis
I agree with those....what I don't like is the rookies being rated so high though..Last edited by Scott; 06-03-2008, 11:42 AM.PSN-Shugarooo

Re: Madden NFL 09 Quarterbacks Analysis
I think what they were thinking with the ratings was this:
Madden 08 was the first year they really attempted to keep up with the season with roster updates. I saw my Colts average rookie corners become mainstays in the league. At the end of the year I believe they ended up in the high 80's which was a long way from the low ratings they started out with. I think EA's past stance on rookies was "Let them prove themselves, have them suck until they do". And this stance was no more evident than in Lebron James Debut in NBA Live. He sucked so bad I couldn't even use him, I think he was like a 74 or something lol. I think towards the end of the season they got him up to like a 78, but still no where near his real ability. Now consider that with what they are trying to do with the roster updates online and you can see them giving the benefit of the doubt to rookies leading to smaller sways in the ratings upgrade. Basically by starting them out higher, it will be more natural to bump them a few points and get them where they need to be. And hey, if they do suck, say if Matt Ryan flops, downward progression can be swift instead up upward progression.

Don't forget to mention the huge bump that Todd Collins got for playing well in only 4 regular season games and poorly in one playoff game. But as a skins fan I agree with you about Campbell's rating being really low. I thought that he was gonns be atlest an 86 or 87 in maddens world.Moderator

I think Madden's ratings are always inflated, and this years rookie crops are a little high, but you know, is there a potential ratings floating in there possibly to make it a bit higher than what we would expect? I have no problem with the ratings at all, you know, since they are based on what, like 20+ caterogories!Philadelphia Phillies

I am inclined to agree with you. Plenty of guys have come off ACLs and run just as fast straight ahead speed. If they wanted to show the effects of the injury, they could've lowered his agility and or acceleration.Moderator

Re: Madden NFL 09 Quarterbacks Analysis
Very strange about Dixon, especially since he has been running pretty well for two months now and had 4.4 speed before, which he showed off several times last year. I would imagine that Pittsburgh will use him in gadget plays and maybe eventually convert him to WR, so it's a shame his speed isn't higher in the game. Agree about reducing the agility rather than speed. But his overall rating seems pretty reasonable.Comment

Re: Madden NFL 09 Quarterbacks Analysis
He ran a 4.58 at the combine though...So he's not running 4.4 anymore.PSN-Shugarooo

Jake Delhomme is good, but to be honest I dont think he will play all that much this season because of the Tommie Johns surgery. No starting QB in the NFL has ever had or come back to play with that type of surgery yet, so I have my doubts. I think his rating should be higher, but it wont matter...Comment
