[Steve_OS]

ESPN The Gamer has posted the Madden NFL 12 player ratings for the top 5 linebackers in the game.

James Harrison: 98
DeMarcus Ware: 98
Patrick Willis: 98
Jon Beason: 97
Clay Matthews: 95

Are there any changes you would like to see, or are they just about right?

Only thing I would like to see change, is there "overall and other attributes" when people play them out of position. Playing MLB isnt the same as playing OLB or DE and vice versa, so skills should be handicapped based on this unless they are very familiar and good at playing those respective roles.

Other than that, Patrick Willis should be #1

Beason a 97? He's very good but I don't know about being on that side of 95. I hope Ware has a lower consistency rating than Willis. Jury's out on Harrison too, a whopping one tackle in the super bowl.

Harrison gets mauled on almost every play, and hopefully his recent back surgeries won't slow him down too much. I'm a bigger fan of Woodley and Timmons.

Re: Madden NFL 12 Ratings - Top 5 Linebackers

I feel that players are rated way to high in this game. I mean looking at these ratings and for all of the other positions ratings it looks like a lot of people are going to be 90 or higher. In my opinion there should only be a few select players that are 95 and above.

Sorry about that, didn't even see it.

Re: Madden NFL 12 Player Ratings - Top 5 Linebackers

Posted this in the other thread, but I think they should separate these linebacker positions. It would go a long way to hinting at authenticity, it would be even better it they separated OLBs by 4-3/3-4 designations. Ware and Harrison are playing a completely different game than Willis and Beason.

Willis 98 overall
Harrison 97 overall
Ware 97 overall
Beason 94 overall

Not sure why Beason is rated so high! Also, about Woodley, he better about a 2 star consistency, because he takes a lot of games off.

[CJTHA1]

They got it right in my opinion..Hopefully that got Woodley and Cameron Wake in the low to mid 90's cause both players are very good

Re: Madden NFL 12 Player Ratings - Top 5 Linebackers

Yes, do Beason deserve to be 97 Ovr, can someone elaborate on that?

I hope Ware has a lower consistency rating than Willis.

I don't Watch San Fran because there never on TV in the northeast but Demarcus Ware's consistency rating should be tops amongst OLBs though. I will agree that he is not the most consistent and there are more reliable defensive players out there but leading the NFL 2 times in sacks shows consistency and I'm not sure what Patrick Willis has done? I know that might sound stupid to some of you and arouse anger but I can never get a San Fran game out here and if I do there not that entertaining to me. Thank you, and PRAY your O Line came to play this season if you play the Cowboys because D WARE should be all over the field and I know he wants the sack crown again this year!

Wheres Block shedding though?
