Madden NFL 15 Top Defensive Tackles

[Iceman87GT]

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!

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!

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.

LBs #1 Dansby-97 #2 Mathis-96 #3Kuechly-95 #4 Bowman-95 #5 L. David-94

CBs #1 Sherman-98 #2 Peterson-97 #3 Haden-95 #4 Revis-94 #5 Talib/Verner-93

Dansby as the top LB? Peterson as the #2 best corner? What? lol

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

If Peterson is the #2 corner all I can do is



As far as backers Dansby will be too old and too slow to be up there.

I'd think Bowman BEFORE Willis (more than likely won't happen as they'll go off Willis' name); Luke Kuechly THEN Willis as far as ILB's/MLB's are concerned.

This was talked about by the producers in one of the podcasts out there. They said there was no easy fix to it without completely rewriting the code which they didn't have enough time to fit in with all the features they added.

I disagree. Gameplay is number 1 in my book. And we all know Madden's issues in that department. I want a robust dynamic CCM as much as anyone on here. But, I need that gameplay to be on point or it's all moot. The CCM and every other mode only accentuate the gameplay, IMO. The VC plaguing MYGM drives me crazy in NBA2k14, but the gameplay (minus rebounding) is butter and I cant stop playing it. I can live with (of course I want more) tweaks to CCM because the team prioritized gameplay this year. If that is the case, then I hope they continue on the path from this year. Add those DB/WR interactions and iron out whatever issues crop up this year and then blow the CCM out the water next year. Honestly, I am not expecting much to be done with CCM this year.
