Madden NFL 13 Player Ratings - Top 10 Quarterbacks

Re: Madden NFL 13 Player Ratings - Top 10 Quarterbacks

I don't like these overalls. Everyone is too high for my taste, but whatever.

I was hoping to get a look at some real key ratings like THP, short/medium/deep throwing accuracy, awareness, speed. These don't really tell me anything.

I'm ok on the overalls. Only 9/32 starting QBs have a rating 90 or above -- I can live with that.

Like you though, I would've liked to have seen some key ratings simply b/c too much emphasis is placed on the overall. And they're really missing an opportunity to blow out the consistency system. That was supposed to be a big deal last year. If it's still in the game (and it is), why aren't these being touted as another way to differentiate players? I could live with Vick's 89 overall if it's offset with a low consistency, but they're not placing enough emphasis on that.

Eli and Stafford got some respect, Eli should get more, and Brees should be 99, Rogers 98.

Re: Madden NFL 13 Player Ratings - Top 10 Quarterbacks

I think they're both too high to be honest, but Eli threw for 1,000 more yards and 8 more TDs last year than Ben and went on to win the SB. So THIS year going into 13 I don't see any reason why they should be rated the same.

I'm just happy to see Romo up there!

Wondering how they managed to spell "Jay Cutler" as "M-A-T-T-H-E-W S-T-A-F-F-O-R-D"? I mean, Stafford's good, but Cutler's better, especially if you watched the Bears/Lions game from last season in Soldier Field. I feel like the only reason Cutler isn't on this list is as No. 8 is because he was injured during the second half.

But this year, with being reunited with his old QB coach and Brandon Marshall, I think EA Sports might be raising his rating...

I like the new cleats but I didn't see any multi colors. And everyone is still all wearing the same color patterns. That's just not accurate.

Unless my eyes are playing tricks on me...many of those throws looked like generic throwing animations. What the fudge...I'll be disappointed if those ship not triggering properly.

I would have rated Jay Cutler higher than Romo and higher than Vick, Stafford and Rivers. Cutler was getting ready to take the Bears to the playoffs before he and Forte got injured.

As a Bears fan, I don't have an issue with him being out of the top 10 going into the year. I think he was on pace to be before he got hurt, but it happens and I don't see anyone there I would take out to put Cutler in based on that. As long as he is 85+ I'll be happy, but I'm thinking by the time final ratings come out at the end of the season (assuming he stays healthy) he'll be a 90+ OVR QB and likely in the top 10.

Did you see authentic throws at your time down there? I bet these are really old gameplay videos. I haven't even seen a more recent video than the E3 ones.

Re: Madden NFL 13 Player Ratings - Top 10 Quarterbacks

I just don't understand WTF EA/Tiburon is doing and honestly believe ratings are just about drawing attention to the game. I am not naive and understand that it's smart business to market ratings but marketing should not be dictating them. This is the only post I will make in this thread because at this point I think EA/Tiburon does these things solely to attract attention and could careless about NFL realism in ratings.

Maybe that's because DPP and some other things are now far more important for differentiating players in Madden and ratings are just cosmetic but I don't know.

Brady in the top 5, let alone top 10? Let's be serious here. He hasn't done a thing since Bush was in his first term.

They worked but very inconsistently. If they're not working as they should, that (1) reduces the identity of each QB and (2) totally nerfs the adjusment needed to play with different QBs. I was just playing with M12 this weekend and was getting blasted behind the LOS b/c I'm used to playing with Romo's quick release and not Matt Ryan's wind up.

Sig animations have been one of the best improvements this game has made since M10. They can't have a step back here IMO.

decent list I guess. Wonder what newton is, hmmm. With no editing I guess we live with what we get. Can't wait to see the RB's.
