Im not normally one to ask about uniform stuff but why isnt the Minnesota numbers right but the buccaneers are?

I thought it was due to not having the template or something to support different fonts?

The problem with the Vikings' font is that there are 2 sets of numbers with the look of the numbers depending on if the number is the first/only in the sequence or the 2nd. The Bucs font is the same regardless of the order in the sequence, which is why it's correct.

That said it's something that is understandably missing in 25 but should have been fixed in time for 15.

Geno deserves a 100 if it didn't get injured. But overall, those are some good ratings. I might switch the order up a bit as well.

If you think McCoy is only #5, you should read this:

He's closer to being the #1 DT than he is #5.

That is true, if anything Suh is too high. But Atkins has been the most dominant DT over the past couple years. And given some of the madden ratings I've seen in the past, these are all pretty admirable top 5's so far.

Really disappointed there is no face scan for Geno Atkins. Oh well...

Eesh...did we really need 2 weeks worth of ratings releases? Can knock that out in what, 3 days max? Rookies...Offensive Players...Defensive Players. Lets get to CFM/CCM already!

Re: Madden NFL 15 Top Defensive Tackles

I think they actually look a lot better this year.

Slightly yes. But still too over the top. Obviously NFL players have a lot of muscle. But in madden it is over done. Even Manning has bodybuilder like arms.

Yeah that's pretty impressive. They are all within 2-3 overall points to me so it isn't a big deal in my eyes exactly how these 5 players rank specifically. It isn't hard to make great arguments for most of them as being higher than others but I know personally I have Geno Atkins pretty firmly at 1st and the rest are almost interchangeable between 2-5.

My rankings I made (which are in no way concrete) were basically trying to show that 1. Atkins last full season was nothing short of remarkable and he was on track for an encore performance and 2. Suh is "overrated" in the fact that his name carries a little more value than his actual performance/production. The rest all have their strengths and value depending on scheme and what you value most in a d-lineman. Again, they are all within 3 overall points to me so I can't go wrong with any of them in my eyes

Your right, but not only that if u look at suh lions jersey numbers. The inside font has the numbers as a point. So if they can put the point on the lion's numbers. Then why not the vikes, doesn't make sense.

The thing is, both the 9 and 0 are the same font no matter if they are the first or last number (I know 0 can't be first but you get my point). The vikings jerseys, let's say a player wears 22, the first 2 is a different font from the second 2. The game only uses one font for both numbers

Im kinda thinking that they did not touch franchise mode/CFM that much unless it was an obvious bug or something. They will probably be saying closer to release that they wanted to focus on gameplay and they will work on franchise mode in the future. My thought is: franchise mode should be beyond incredible. You can have broken gameplay but you cant really mess up franchise mode. I can live with mediocre gameplay as long as franchise mode is unreal. I know from what we have seen, that the menus look the same and are very ugly at that. Even the menus should wow you, be new and fresh every year so it gives the game an exciting new look instead of copying all the other menu systems like windows 8 ect. Hopefully I am wrong; been dying for a great franchise mode since 06!

They said they are releasing some info soon about it, but I agree that they have left it annoyingly late to release anything about it.

It will be extremely irritating if the features they announce turn out to be mediocre meaning we have waited incredibly long for no major changes.

Re: Madden NFL 15 Top Defensive Tackles

Would have liked to see Poe get included in this list but oh well. I'll be interested to see his stamina rating given that he played more snaps than any other DT last year and he didn't even play the last game of the season.

At LB, you're missing Patrick Willis, Von Miller, and maybe Aldon Smith.
