Madden NFL 13 Player Ratings - Top 10 Running Backs

Re: Madden NFL 13 Player Ratings - Top 10 Running Backs

I think it's Ray's pass catching ability that sets him slightly ahead of McCoy. Not saying McCoy isn't a good pass catcher but last year Ray did more in that department.

Nope sorry I gotta stop you RIGHT THERE. Shady McCoy is the best receiving running back in the NFL right now. No way on this earth I'm taking Ray Rice on a screen over Shady.

Re: Madden NFL 13 Player Ratings - Top 10 Running Backs

Ahh!! But that's the problem! Is it based on their careers or coming into this year!?!?!?

When you get hurt and only make it through half the season, you have to base it off of recent years as well.

Just because he had a good start to the season before getting injured doesn't mean they should make him an elite back for this year.

Two words...

Darren Sproles, just saying.

Re: Madden NFL 13 Player Ratings - Top 10 Running Backs

I would have it:

Maurice Jones-Drew 93
Arian Foster 93
Adrian Peterson 92
Ray Rice 91
Matt Forte 89
Frank Gore 88
Jamal Charles 88
Lesean McCoy 88
Stephen Jackson 87
Michael Turner 85

Overall way to high. Wondering how AP's rating will adjust coming off that knee injury.

I'd say both. When you start jumping guys to elite status based on one potentially good season then the ratings become even more messed up.

[assclown25]

as ALWAYS in Madden players ratings are way to high- it started with P. Manning at qb and now Charles and Peterson are both 90s? they are both coming of ACL injuries! Common EA your better than that- or are you?

[KCmizzou852]

Thank God you don't do ratings...Gore and Charles ahead of McCoy?

To me it looks like they are all 88 overall?

Some people didn't watch too many Eagles games last year (understandably).

Well no. they are actually the same rating at 88 so basically equals. Gore has always been a beast and Charles was the second best back in the league before his injury.

and I put your boy McCoy above my boy, Michael Turner (im a falcons fan) who lead the NFC in rushing last year.

Re: Madden NFL 13 Player Ratings - Top 10 Running Backs

I'm guessing no one here has seen Lesean?

Of course they have. They kid is an absolute beast. I won't dare deny that. And he's only going to get better while guys like Jackson and Turner and Gore will likely only get worse.

The reason I have Gore and McCoy at the same rating is while yes, McCoy put up better numbers than Gore, Gore controlling the ground game in San Francisco was a huge reason for the 49ers success last year. On the other hand, McCoy's incredible success last year didn't exactly translate to wins.

In other words when I do ratings, I always give teams that won a lot last year the benefit of the doubt while I don't give teams that didn't win the benefit of the doubt. But if the Eagles win the division this year (which I predict they will), McCoy will probably be a 95ish.

Clearly* and yes understandably. They obviously missed Shady McCoy make a legitimate claim for being best All-around back in the NFL right now.

And yet MJD is #1.

Call me a homer all you want, Shady is ELITE at this point in time.

Is 95 OVR not Elite? I'd say they did him enough justice.

The problem is we cant just look at last years stats. We have to look at career stats. And then there are rating that make or break every position. A RB, QB, WR, and TE that is 90 over all with an 85 awareness will drop to 80 if only awareness goes down. Then the players with injuries cant be singles out when they are better than other players. Yeah AP and Charles tore their ACL's. But i seem to be under the assumption that most of the time these days players with ACL's come back and some better than ever. Id be more willing to give AP a higher rating than Charles because Charles relies on his speed and cut ability. AP can run your *** over. But lets not forget. Take away Charles last rush in 2010. And he has the most yards per carry in a season ever. Last year Lesean McCoy had 1,300 yards on 279 carries. The year before that Charles had 1,400 yards on 230 carries. Charles has a higher yards per catch than McCoy as well. The main problem here is. The oh so great person doing these ratings. Doesnt look at any news going in in training camp so he can fix ratings on release day. But for my main argument with what you said. Charles has better stats all around than McCoy. McCoy just gets more touch downs because he gets the ball in the red zone. Charles has to go out and give the ball to to bigger backs because coaches seem to like those big backs in goal line. Charles coming off of this ACL will lose nothing. He says he is ready. The stories out of camp say he looks good. Oh and Eric Berry. Top 5 Safety in the NFL.
