Yeah I would say it's a good surprise no QB is in the top 10

Cam Newton not in the top ten? Surprising

I'd imagine he has one of the higher potential ratings though.

Blech. The Prince Amukamara rating is ridiculous - the guy was picked 19th. EA's ratings czar knows the skills of Prince better than the teams that passed on him?

I can see some subjectivity as far as initially downgrading guys who are all about potential/upside (Cam Newton) and initially upgrading guys who are supposedly "polished" as far as college prospects, but this one's a stretch. I will be making some changes in my franchise mode, for sure, even if only to downgrade certain rookies that EA is in love with to line up better with where they were drafted.

Re: Madden NFL 12 Blog - Top Ten Rookie Ratings

I think this would be my top 10 (I'll just use the same 10 players they use to keep it simple):
1. Peterson
2. Dareus
3. Green
4. Miller
5. Jones
6. Amukamara
7. Watt
8. Ingram
9. Pouncey
10. Quinn

Re: Rookie Ratings: Top Rookie Ratings in Madden NFL 12

First move in franchise mode... acquire Prince Amukamara...

Luckily I don't have to do that. I might just go get Peterson.

Re: Madden NFL 12 Blog - Top Ten Rookie Ratings

ITs lame how franchise mode would even let you trade for these guys.....it just never happens and if you really want to it better be for a 1st,3rd and a high rated player

Sweet Ingram as a 79 and with PP7 I'll just start a Cards franchise instead of pulling off an unrealistic trade for him

[scottyo60]

The worst thing with the Cards will be trading for a qb

wasn't randy moss picked 21st? Blech... Haha. Pick position doesn't mean too much. Ponder was picked 12th after all.

Re: Madden NFL 12 - Top Ten Rookie Ratings

As a Florida fan, Mike Pouncey is way too high.

Yeah that seemed like an odd choice for the top 10... Probably name recognition with his brother got him up there

Re: Madden NFL 12 - Top Ten Rookie Ratings

The list seems pretty fair, EA has been close on the rookies for a couple of years now.

Re: Madden NFL 12 - Top Ten Rookie Ratings

I was expecting Da'Quan Bowers to be on this list. His injury concern was about longevity, not being injured so bad he couldnt perform.

He was the concensus #1 DE before his surgery, hopefully the meaningful ratings are high enough to make him play well.

Theres a few guys I question on the list since theres 2 DEs and a 28th pick HB rated higher.

Re: Madden NFL 12 - Top Ten Rookie Ratings

The funny thing is we say that these rookie ratings are too high, yet how often have you found the 86/87 rated generated rookie after season 1
