Madden NFL 13 Ratings - Top 10 Receivers/Tight Ends

[NYwRiter94]

I watch the Giants religiously, and I can tell you without a doubt that Hakeem Nicks is better than Victor Cruz. Nicks can literally do it all, and he does it superbly. Not only did he draw the best coverage, but the other team would always put their safety over the top of him--yet with double coverage all the time, he still put up nearly 1200 yards and 7 TDs.

If I had sorted the WRs:

Calvin Johnson
Larry Fitzgerald
Andre Johnson
Rob Gronkowski
Jimmy Graham
Roddy White
Hakeem Nicks
Wes Welker
Steve Smith

Vernon Davis shouldn't even be in the equation...Steve Smith had a revival year simply because Newton threw bombs downfield. He and Welker are one-dimensional players and, as such, can't compare to the other WRs on the list. I don't really like putting the TEs in there, because it bumps Roddy down really low and he's a bonafide elite receiver.

are you kidding??? this guy was a beast. yeah he missed a few games but he led all rookie wrs in tds and almost had 1000 yards

Name another relevant rookie WR last year?

Never mind you not coming on here a lot, you sound like you do not watch football a lot. Cruz is better than Nicks.

Dude please explain what makes him better??And if your gonna base it on Stats then that would make him better L. Fitz too right??

[highzman28]

I'm as big a GIants fans as you will find, breaking down film and seeing every play from preseason onward.

Nicks is better than Cruz, though it's an embarrassment of riches either way.

What makes Cruz look better is he is more flashy - he's got that salsa style. Cruz is smooth and can do everything you want from a WR on the football field: make big plays, run every route, block, run after the catch, you name it.

In the playoffs, teams focused on neutralizing Cruz and Nicks made them remember why they used to focus on him first. He had 28 receptions for 444 yards and 4 TD's.

Cruz may pass by Nicks at some point, but Nicks is still the #1 on the Giants.

This is exactly what I'm saying and Like yourself I'm am a huge Giant fan...

Ever hear the name AJ Green?

[Yeah...THAT Guy]

Re: Madden NFL 13 Ratings - Top 10 Wide Receivers

I do not like the Welker rating. Way to high for "the best slot receiver in the game". He to me is a system WR. Never was this productive or highly rated til he got to NE and hooked up with Brady. His rating is one where I miss the HC rating system. But that's just me. Calvin Johnson is probably the only rating I've seen thus far that I have no issue with.

That's what they have this year.

Re: Madden NFL 13 Ratings - Top 10 Receivers/Tight Ends

Looks good, just gotta keep in mind tight ends are a different position than receiver and just because a TE is rated 97, doesn't mean he's as good a receiver as a WR, which makes grouping them together in a list kind of stupid imho.

And yeah in M12 we could have just edited these for our franchise but then after a few years every team would be loaded with tons of 90's/mid-high 80's receivers and then we'd just be editing hundreds of guys over and over. Gotta take the good with the bad. Hopefully progression is a lot better now.

Cruz > Nicks. By a mile.

Bull crap Nicks is better Cruz, he's more capable of dominating a game. Don't get me wrong both of them are a beast, but nicks is a little bit better. They both have the same skill set but Nicks is a whole lot stronger.

Hakeem Nicks is now better than A.J. Green? Really?

Yes, he is

[iAM-IncReDiBLe-]

A.J. Green, Dwayne Bowe, Julio Jones, Marques Colston & Vincent Jackson are all easily better than Hakeem Nicks.

Debateable ones are Desean Jackson, Mike Wallace, Pierre Garcon.

Putting Garçon in te same sentence as the rest of those is straight disrespect. None of those that you listed are better then Nicks.

I don't think its debatable with those guys. Your first list would be a good conversation, but think Nicks is easily better than Jackson, Wallace and Garcon.

You have lost your everlasting mind, Nicks is better than all those guys by a good margin. Did you see this guy in the playoffs, didn't he set a playoff record for most receiving yards. You people are selling Nicks short.The guy is a pure beast.

Re: Madden NFL 13 Ratings - Top 10 Receivers/Tight Ends

I'm interested in seeing where Greg Jennins and Marques Colston are rated

Hopefully at least a 93 or even a 94 but just not shown in the ratings.

Re: Madden NFL 13 Ratings - Top 10 Receivers/Tight Ends

Eh it's debatable to say Nicks better then Colston when you at it over a career, last season yes but not by the wide margin you say. Dwayne Bowe is right there as well
