I'm a little late to the party, but I see there are some major changes to the overall ratings of players. Hester at a 71, interesting. He had almost 700 yards last year, and that was with Orton's little pea-shooter arm. I know he's not an elite receiver, but damn. 71 rating with 99 speed? He averaged 13 yards per catch last year, which is right up there with Andre Johnson and Santana Moss. I wouldn't rate him much higher than 76 or so, but 71 is 2 away from a D+.
I'm not normally one to complain about ratings though, so I'll wait and see how the rest of the league pans out. I just don't see how some of these ratings became. "The Other" Adrian Peterson is rated the same as Garrett Wolfe? Get the hell out of here. Wolfe absolutely sucks and Peterson is a career 4.1 rush avg back. He averaged 5 per attempt last season when filling in for Forte. He's so underrated it's ridiculous (in this game and real life). How can a career 4.1 rush avg back be rated under a 70? Especially when he's pretty good at everything in the backfield. He blocks and catches very well. He's not the best runner, but I'm not saying he should be rated as one. 69 is just low. Oh yeah, and he can hang onto the ball. He fumbles 1.1 percent of his carries, compared to the Peterson from Minnesota who does it on 2.2 percent of his carries.
It's easy to tear them apart, so I'll just stop. I'm biased anyways. I'll hold off on judging them too harshly until after I see the rest of the teams.
