    Orton and Tebow's rating

    For those who watch the Broncos...how would you rate Orton and Tebow thus far? What specifically would you adjust?

    I would probably put Tebow at a 70 and Orton at a 75. I'm not sure whether I'd lower Orton's Awareness or Accuracy rating. I'd def lower Tebow's Med and Deep throw Accuracy.

    Tebows deep and medium is pretty good but his short accuracy is a problem.

      I wish the OP rated players, sorta. I like the fact that not every QB is in the 80's, good for you.

      Id like to see 80 overall and up be playoff caliber QBs and 90 and higher super bowl caliber players

        After Tebow's 3 starts last season, and him coming in the second half today, I think his 75 rating is fine. If you were to lower his speed, he would be a high 60s player.

          Madden 12s rating of Tebow is just right.

          Anyone ever tried putting Tebow in at RB? Whats his OVR at that position?

            Why would he be a good RB? He is only a threat at running b/c he is a QB, dude is slow compared to the avg NFL rb

              Wish they had a dumb--- rating cause it would be at 100 for Orton...

                I think this is an excellent post. Madden rates players too high across the board. One of the things that allows NBA2k to differentiate good players from great players on the court is that fewer players have truly elite ratings. Madden just pushes everyone's numbers up to the top and very little separates the players or the teams.

                  IMO, EA does a decent job with ratings as a whole. I would like to see them tone down the overthrows though. I dont care whether they are starters or 3rd stringers, NFL QB's at any level dont overthrow by 10 to 20 yards!! 2 to 5 maybe. It gets ridiculous to watch after awhile...

                    In madden a 5 yard overthrow is an interception every time. As is the same on the underthrow with the incredible jumping ability the LB's and DB's have.

                      I think they do fine within the philosophy that they use. I don't like the philosophy that they use, though.

                      I think the right players, for the most part, are rated higher and lower etc. But I think that in general players are too close together. I want 90+ to be reserved for truly elite, top 10% of the league in each skill. Right now, it seems anyone who is decent/good at something in the NFL is a 90+ at that skill in Madden. It waters it down. I think this is why players all feel the same. Use the whole ratings scale.

                      EXAMPLE-

                      Peyton Manning does not have a cannon arm. His arm is sufficiently strong, and deadly accurate. But there are players in the league who throw noticeably harder. In madden, he is a 94. There are 45 other QBs in the game with 90+ throwing power. Hardly seems elite. I believe this makes is so that you don't feel the difference playing with a Jay Cutler or Vick who has a cannon arm.

                      There are 57 RBs and 103 WRs with 90+ speed. That's nearly 2 RBs per team and nearly 3 WRs per team. What it really means that "Elite" speed gets pushed to 95. Now the elite players have a 5 point window in which to differentiate from each other. It's too bunched up.

                      There are 34 MLBs with 90+ Tackling. 1 per team.
