Madden NFL 13 Ratings - Complete Running Back Ratings

Re: Madden NFL 13 Ratings - Complete Running Back Ratings

I think that Jacquizz Rodgers got screwed in these ratings. He led all rookies with 19 broken tackles on just 78 carries. That's a 24.4 percent rate of broken tackles per touch. By comparison Frank Gore 4%, Peyton Hillis 2.2%, Michael Bush 4.4%. Quiz has a 54 for strength and a 42 for trucking. That is way too low. He is short, but he isn't "small". He regularly runs through much bigger guys. He should be rated a little lower than MJD in those two categories as he is the same mold of player. Not saying he should be rated high, just higher in those two categories because the way he is rated right now means he will play like a scat back, Daren Sproles type and that isn't what he does. He plays much more like MJD (running through the middle, breaking tackles, etc.). I am not wanting him to be highly rated, I just want him to play like he does in real life. I shouldn't have to avoid contact with a DB with Quizz, because in real life he would try to truck a guy like that, not run around him. Just an observation. Not all short guys are scat backs and not all big guys are great at breaking tackles.

Question for you. Did he break tackles because he was strong and ran over people of did he break tackles because he is small and elusive? What are his elusive and agility ratings?

Both... the problem is that he runs up the middle a lot... he doesn't avoid contact... they even use him in some goal line situations. He IS elusive just like MJD is, but he will also plow into you and ring your bell just like MJD will do. He is 1 inch shorter and 10 lbs lighter than MJD. Same mold, same kind of player, though no where near as good yet. The issue is that you can't really run up the middle when your strength is 54 and your truck is 42 lol.

Why is Ray Rice's stamina so low (compared to the top 4)?

this is one of the many flaws with the current rating system...if you ever messed around with the ratings you understand that when you give a player high marks in one category you have to drop them in other categories to prevent them from being too high. The flaw is that it seems EA drops random categories which make it unrealistic to that player. Rice has a very high amount of stamina. Its like the speed issue if you make someone a 90+ burner than you have to drop other categories because the speed jumps their ratings way up.

Which is why we should get rid of overall all together and make so that the relevant stats for each position are easily view-able.

A lot of ratings are really high for players. Leshoure for the Lions has an extremely high carry and is coming off injury but his injury rating is good. Leshoure is also rated worse than chicken legs Kevin Smith! Kevin Smith is average at best.

demarco murray

guys like admad bradshaw are high but demarco murray is a 83 when he played like a beast before he was injured.

Demarco murray has more yards than bradshaw on less carries. Bradshaw did have more touchdowns but come one EA. You need to be more consistant in these ratings. What are they going by? Are they picking out of a hat?

Bush has his best year ever as a pro but doesn't receive his best rating? That makes sense...

Re: Madden NFL 13 Ratings - Complete Running Back Ratings

Jezzzz ea strech out the ratings...an average started should be rated 70-75, a solid starter 76-83, a household name 84-93, and a HOFer 94-99.

Or something like that i cant deal with ratings this high its makes it feel like every player is exactly the same

A what point in a players career do you know they are a hall of famer? In the case of some future HOFers, we may not know if they are a HOFer until 20-30 years from now.

I'm loving Charles Clay, I usually put him at #1 tightend, but knowing we have EgNew and what Clay's stats look like with the two paired together and a decent scheme to get players into space he's going to be hell for db's, not mention linebackers covering him!

Re: Madden NFL 13 Ratings - Complete Running Back Ratings

Maaaan Marshawn Lynch is so underrated in this game.

he is faster than 90 speed, much stronger than 84 rating..especially when you compare him to other RBs who have higher strength ratings....more agile than the 84 rating (just ask Ray Lewis).

if you want to give him a low 90's rating for speed...fine make it 92 or 93 (u usually don't see people catch up to the guy)..but you need to really up his acceleration from 88 to the low 90's as well. (imo should be mid 90s).

there is a reason why he was the only RB to rush for over 100 yards against my 9ers last year...he is one of the best running backs in the league. His overall should be in the mid 90s.

While I agree that Lynch is probably underrated by most, 90 speed is probably about right for him (I had him @ 89 in Madden 12 using my own criteria). Don't get me wrong, he was timed at 4.46 in the combine in the 40, and he's shown it on the field (see his 47 yard TD run against the Giants last year when he broke it going outside along the sideline, out running the Giants defence in the process and not getting touched the final 30 yards on the play) but 91+ speed is probably best reserved for 4.4 and faster 40 guys. Not looking at his M13 ratings I suspect his agility, acceleration and pass catching are rated too low (they were in M12's final roster update, so don't expect they have been upgraded accurately for M13's base roster) accounting for his lowish rating.

DeMarco Murray is only an 83??!!?!?! wtf

Re: Madden NFL 13 Ratings - Complete RB Ratings

Ratings are ridiculously high.

Reading the comments I guess I get why they are that high. Seems fans of their want their guy to be the best even if he is not. Madden really needs to quit worrying what people think of ratings so much.

DeMarco Murray is only an 83??!!?!?! wtf

Murray is in his 2nd year in the league what are you expecting a 90 OVR?
Murry was 22nd in the league running the football with 897 yards. 200+ of those came from a not so great defense in St. Louis.. So his yards per attempt are skewed. And he only had wait for it.............. 2 TDs. I think he's good where he's at, he could be lower too imo. The guy had a solid rookie year, and I didn't even check his recieving stats. plus I'm not following the cowboys so I could be wrong. But asking for more is farfetched.

And yet, people still didn't get what they wanted.
