Re: Madden NFL 11 Team Ratings Revealed

Panthers 75? Did we not see what happened when Jake Delhomme was benched? We crushed the Giants and Vikings. We are still those Panthers from 2008, just without Mr. Turnover.

Yea Mr Turnover That Toke you to a superbowl .. whata shame ...


on another note ... Ravens are too high .. i like how people complain about the jets but not the ravens ...

Jets have a better Corners ... Better LBS ... as a whole ... ... Better Oline ... Better Receivers IMO ... not saying Ravens aren't a bad team but they shouldn't be that high ...cause they shouldn't be higher then the Bengals .. Cause the bengals got better ...

Carolina's too low ... the best 1-2 punch in the backfield ... the best under 6' ft player IN THE LEAGUE .. well now that i think about it there rating is just right they lost a safety .. an important safety at that .. they lost there best Def player in Peppers ...

Lions r too low they offseason was probably the best out of anyteam from the draft to the Fa there Def is looking ok ... they have found a #2 so the other teams cant focus on Calvin as much ... they brought in another good tight end a running back that i think would of been #1 in the draft (outta rbi's of course) if not the the concussions ...

Giants r too low ... injuries plagued there secondary ... there Wr's r good ... there Running backs r Good ... there Line is top 5 ... there Def line will show up this yea under the new coach ... an they fixed there 2ndary not to mention there new coach is the reason the bills had the most Ints of ne team last year ...

i could go on about other teams but i don't feel like it

Completely agreed about the Lions. I think the devs just might be a bit skeptical about the improvements, however, because alot of these players have not been seen in action on the Lions, and they did go 2-14. Like I said before, I think a 72 or 73 would be a better rating for them right now, but I guess we will have to see how it shakes out during the season. I see the Lions as a 5 or 6 win team probably. Possibly 7 if they have some good luck.

Re: Madden NFL 11 Team Ratings Revealed

Well the Saints are National Champs so that's ok. but the Ravens with an one-sided offense (Flacco really isn't all that great) plus aging defense is crazy overrated to me. The AFC South & NFC East should be alot closer in ratings than they are right now imo.

Aging defense? Quit listening to the media. We got younger. Only Lewis, Reed, Pryce, Gregg are old. And Pryce does not even start anymore and Gregg will be sharing snaps with a Cody, a rookie. Kindle will definitely be a part of the nickel and dime packages, Kruger will see a lot of playing time. Ellerbe is young. Suggs is only 26. Outside of Lewis, Reed as full time starters, nobody is over 26 years old.

Plus the defense got BETTER and it finished #3 overall last year top 5 vs run and #8 vs the pass.

The Bengals got better but the Ravens got better too. The Jets have better corners than the Ravens and probably anyone else in the league. But their LB's are not better and their DL is not better than the Ravens, definitely not as deep as the Ravens.

The Ravens OL is a top 8 OL, their HB is a top 4 HB. Their FB is the #1 FB in the league. Name me one that can block and play HB like he can. McGahee still has it. Heap still has some in the tank plus the two rook TE's are great players.

Biggest reason, their coaching staff overachieved with the team the last two seasons. They should not have made the AFC Championship game two seasons ago and they should not have made it to the divisional round last season but they did. That's great coaching.

Re: Madden NFL 11 Team Ratings Revealed

But their LB's are not better

ray had 94 (39 ast) tackles by himself the next line backer on the ravens roster had 44 tackles (15ast) even tho i don't concedes Suggs a linebacker...

while david harris lead the Jets with 81 tackles (46ast) and there next linebacker (bart scott) had 67 tackles (25ast) ...

the jets line backers are better then the ravens ..

It's not just about tackling statistics. Tackling statistics does not make a player better than another one. Hell if that's the case then Barrett Rudd is better than Ray Lewis, both Jets ILB's and both Steelers' ILB's. Barrett is a really good player but if you want to take tackle numbers then you would have to say he is better than everyone in this discussion. I'm not going to make that claim. Or you would have to say that Kirk Morrison, who is not a bad player, is better than David Harris and David Harris is better than DeMeco Ryans. These are not claims I would want to make just based on tackle numbers. But that is exactly what you seem to be doing here.


The reason why there is no one with consistent tackle numbers at the second ILB spot for the Ravens is because 3 people started that position all season long. Ellerbe is the front runner right now but is still in comp with Gooden and McClain. But again, tackle numbers are only one aspect of a player.

At ILB the Jets 2nd man is better (will give Harris his props; he's a more complete player at this point than Ellerbe, Gooden, or McClain) but their first is not and the Jets OLB's are not where the Ravens OLB's Suggs and Jarrett Johnson are plus we added Kindle. Take the entire unit not just the one spot where the Jets have the advantage at ILB. As a unit the Jets linebackers are not better than the Ravens.

Re: Madden NFL 11 Team Ratings Revealed

Umm, Houston a 78, really? Last year, sure the running game wasnt exactly good, but they still had one of the best offenses in the game, and once Bernard Pollard became a Texan, that whole defense changed and became alot better. But the cornerback position is still a question for the Texans. While I am not saying the Texans should be rated in the high 80's low 90's because they shouldnt, they should be rated at least an 80, IMO.

I guarantee by the final roster update, the Patriots will be the highest rated team in the AFC East, and the Dolphins will be second.

I don't know why the massive amount of homerism in this thread surprised me, but it did. Should've seen things like this coming.

I asked Donny, but got no reply. Has anyone ever read an article/blog on 'how' they calculate the team ratings?

To be honest, I dont think the madden forum could agree the sky was blue.
