Madden NFL 13 Ratings - Complete Running Back Ratings

Re: Madden NFL 13 Ratings - Complete Running Back Ratings

Percentage wise it looks good, but when you break it down and see that 43 HBs are 80+ overall... I don't like that.

Every starter and some teams backups should not be rated 80+

Agreed. Although when you think about it, what teams don't have a good running back anymore?

Jets? Redskins? Patriots? Bengals? Colts? Packers? Maybe the Saints? Those are the only teams I can think of that maybe don't deserve an 80+ overall RB and you can make an argument for the Saints, Packers, Bengals, and Jets IMO.

highest Pats RB is Woodhead, a 78...fine with me, dat means my CC I may not have such a long road 2 get da starting job but 4 we all know they may make u start at da bottom of da depth chart

Then I would get the game early bc Vereen and Ridley combined for over a 100 rushing yards, both averaged more than 5 yards a carry, Vereen was about 6.4 and Ridley was 5. Both these guys could be a 80 something at years end. If Ridley dosent fumble as much, and his carry rating goes up, that alone puts him near 84, plus trucking catching elusive he could easily be a 88, Vereen if they use him could be 90 something bc his speed will go up, bc they didn't give him his real speed, his catching will go up, his elusive will rise significantly, his trucking will raise a few points, carry will raise, and both will raise there awareness significantly so both realistically could be 85 plus if NE actually uses them. This year they only are going to use 3 backs, vs last season 5 so Woodhead will rise to.

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

Good point!

Even worse, you're telling me that there are 107 running backs rated over 70? That's ridiculous.

What happened to the more realistic ratings EA promised us? I look at these ratings and just about every starting RB in the league is rated 84 or higher. This game is going to be a joke, there will be no difference between the Saints offense and the Browns. It is going to be the typical Madden scoring fest with games ending 75-65.

Re: Madden NFL 13 Ratings - Complete Running Back Ratings

To the 'ratings are too high' peeps - please give me your top 20 HBs by ovr as well as give me some of their attributes like sp, agi, acc, bcv, car, elu, trk, juke, spin, cth etc. I'm curious as to what you think better ratings for actual NFL players look like. Thanks in advance.

Trust me he is, although with the poor run blocking last year and Palmer changing the run blocking scheme you wouldn't be able to tell. Holdout didn't help either.

Keep in mind CJ has also put on a bit of muscle this offseason.

Re: Madden NFL 13 Ratings - Complete Running Back Ratings

well over half the starting RB's in the league are 85 OVR or above!Since when did 85/100 become mediocre? Pardon my language but what an F'n joke EA. I want to root for Madden and against the haters every year, for the most part I've been a fan, but this is getting stupid.

For those who haven't been outspoken about taking player editing away from us,crap like this makes it damn hard not to be.

Re: Madden NFL 13 Ratings - Complete Running Back Ratings

Jones Drew is higher overall, but clearly AP is going to be the better back on the field.

Starting NFL HB equals mediocre?

If that is the case then the vast majority of NFL HBs must be sub-mediocre and therefore range from bad to terrible to horrendous.

Regardless, could not agree with you more on the player editing.

Agree these ratings are sad. Oh well

Regardless, I stated half the STARTING rb's in the league are rated 85 or over, making 85 the rough average for a starting rb. Average = mediocre.

just a lil high but pretty good
