    I would still think after last year that Timmons would now be the higher rated of the two, especially when you factor in that he's coming into his prime while Farrior is on the decline.

      Farrior is still a constant performer in that defense. Timmons exploded last year, and is Farrior's heir apparent, if not already.

      Maybe it's me, but sometimes I look at default Madden ratings and think they might have the "it'll fix itself when they progress" mindset.

        That's true. I just hope that's the case rather than "it'll break itself when they progress" lol. I honestly think the progression will be alright though. Progression is tough to nail in sports games.

          It's representative of his overall abilities as an NFL player. He's one of the best return men in the NFL and is excellent after the catch. However, he just isn't a good WR, as shown by his ratings. If anything, the complaint should be about the formula used to arrive at the overall rating, but Cribbs actual ratings are pretty much right where they should be; his overall is just way too high for a WR.

          Edit: And he is not rated as a decent wide receiver at all. The only guy on his team with worse hands at WR is the 53 overall guy. The only guy on the Patriots with better hands is their 52 overall WR. Nobody on the Jets has worse hands. The only guys on the Dolphins with worse hands are a 52 and 48 overall WR. The only guy on the Bills with worse hands is their 60 overall WR. His route running is equally as bad. His spectacular catch is equally as bad. And his catching in traffic is slightly better but still bad. Where in there does it sound like he's a pretty decent WR?
          It's not a representation of his overall player value... just receiver. Otherwise, if you moved him to lets say quarterback, his rating wouldn't drop because the rating would represent him as an overall NFL player.

          I hear you about maybe the formula is just messed up. I just think that a 79 overall rating for Cribbs is rediculous

          Edit: I still think his individual catch attributes are too high. The fact that 69 catching is a practice squad guy just shows that they need to stretch the ratings out even more have NFL starting receivers play way ahead of practice squad type of guys or guys like Cribbs. I still feel like Cribbs is a much bigger threat in Madden than in real life at receiver. In a Madden franchise, Cribbs should only be getting 1-2 catches a game, 18 yards a game, and 1 touchdown every year at the most. I find it really unlikely that 79 rated Cribbs is only going to put up those kind of stats in Madden.

            Steelers will make it hard to move the ball on. 6 of the front 7 are 90+ and the other one is 88

              So the problem is really about how EA rates players, not about Cribbs' rating. Cribbs' rating is relatively good. You just think the whole rating system is flawed.

                Why cribbs is even rated where he is seems odd. Dude is a ST/ situational guy....average at best WR....
                But ratings really don't matter anyway ...for the mist part.

                  It's not that the whole rating system is flawed as it just needs to be stretched out. But on top of that, having Cribbs rated 79 is like EA saying he is a better receiver than anybody 78- and that just isn't the case.

                    So then you disagree with the way the overall number is arrived at.

                      I guess. But I would still just lower Cribbs ratings to make him lower even with the current formula.

                        If you were to do that, then his WR skills would be worse than most practice squad players.

                            Where is Mewelde Moore?

                            What is Baron Batch's blocking ability? (If he, a rookie, can block James Harrison, than he must be good.)

                            Bronco Legursky should be a 99. hehe

                            Chris Kemouatu is our second best lineman, better than Flozell Adams, yet on Madden he is worse than Flozell and is a 75.

                            I do like how the 4 linebackers are all 90+.

                              IDK about that. Running backs with 65 catching seem to catch the ball most of the time.
