    I must say I think Madden has dropped the ball on some of these ratings. I think the DE ratings were blasphemy. Leaving Von Miller, Demarcus Ware, Tamba Hali, Ryan Kerrigan, Greg Hardy, and Aldon Smith off the Top 5, then they put Calais Campbell on there????

    Lavonte David is also better than OJ Mayo in my book

      So are they going to release the list of OLBs today or are they going to wait another day before releasing it? Screen shots look good as usual. I wonder what Sean Lee is rated

        Some of those guys will be under OLB. It's also Jerod Mayo. OJ plays hoops

          Over Willis YES. Willis is getting name recognition ratings here IMO. I'd go Bowman 1a and Kuechly 1b and Willis would be 3 points overall lower. Just my opinion. He hasn't done what those two have done the last two seasons IMO.

            not a bad list tho

            i would suspect bowman to drop during the season because i dont see him returning to 2013-14 form
            Maybe maybe not. I'd say the same thing about Geno Atkins and look where they have him. I don't expect too much of a drop off because of name. Donny doesn't seem to drop big name guys as fast as he does others.

              Mayo will be playing inside. Hightower and Collins are the outside guys.

              Mayo is definitely deserving of top 5 status. The only argument I see against it is his injury last year. If he can return to his original form then he is one of the top linebackers in the league.

                In other games, being rated in the 90's in considered elite. They have revealed 45 names so far in these releases, 42 of which are considered elite. Not that ratings matter all that much in Madden anyways, but this is something that needs to be addressed (and is long overdue). There is little separation in the ratings, so everyone plays like superstars.

                  It feel like the ratings have been more spread out the last 5-6 years, but they're slowly skyrocketing up again this year.

                  On another note, Willis over Luke is a joke, there is no way. Willis has been a premiere middle linebacker in this league for years now, but putting him above Luke is what happens when you put a biased Bucs fan in charge of ratings. Not to mention his slow developmental rating. For a guy who wins DROY and DPOY in his first 2 years, there is few others more deserving of Superstar Dev.

                        Calais Campbell is one of the best 3-4 DEs in the league. Ware is on the decline, not top 5 anymore, probably top 10. Hali, Kerrigan, Smith, and Miller are all OLB's not DE's. And also, Lavonte David is a OLB, not a MLB. And as stated earlier, OJ Mayo is a basketball player.

                          Please, go back to school and try to spell correctly Cowboys fan. "Supetstar" Development IS NECESSARY for a guy who became a monster day 1 and has been considered top at his position in his first 3 years. There is no better example of someone who has superstar Dev.

                          It is necessary because everyone in the 70s/80s progress so quickly now, that the only way a "Superstar" can stay noticeably better then these players is to get more xp to spend on their more expensive to raise attributes.

                              I watched a full season of game tape on SF a couple years ago w/Sunday Ticket, and you could tell that Bowman plays way faster than his 40 time suggests because he makes amazingly quick reads and takes near-perfect angles. That allows him to beat Willis to plays they have a roughly equal shot at making despite Willis's far superior speed.

                              Looking good!
                              What all of you Non 49ers fan don't seem to realize or know is that Patrick Willis plays the "Jack" lb spot which is the Jack of all trades meaning that he drops in coverage , spy the QB , drop deep and Blitz (but we all know that Vic Fangio doesn't like to blitz that much)... now Bowman plays the "Mike" LB spot which Patrick played since he came into the league and switch to Jack when Takeo left. When Willis played the "Mike" he led the league in tackles because you give support against the run game. So all you guys saying that Patrick Willis doesn't deserve to be rated that high need to check again......
