Slightly off topic, but maybe can find an answer here, I thought I seen somewhere that yesterday EA was announcing Top 5 Special Teams, and today was Top 10 Players as well as Ratings for both AFC/NFC North?

Re: Madden NFL 15 - Top Strong Safeties
They're not following that schedule, North ratings will probably be out on Monday if they split up kickers and punters like they did LBs and safeties.Comment

Re: Madden NFL 15 - Top Strong Safeties
lol troy P in the top 5. I hope barry church got some love if Reshad Jones is a 89.
Reshad Jones
107 tackles, 1.5 sacks, 0 force fumbles, 1 int, 4 PD, 2 STF
Barry Church
135 tackles, 0 sacks, 3 force fumbles, 1 FR, 1 int, 6PD, 3 STF
But Reshad Jones also had a pretty good year the year before so I see the logic. Just hope Barry church recieved alittle love.Comment

Re: Madden NFL 15 - Top Strong Safeties
Troy should be nowhere near the top safeties in the game.
This illustrates the problem with ratings. Most of you will remember that sometime ago they lowered ratings and made 90+ guys more rare. Obviously it is no longer the case.
Why? Madden is quick to boost guys but when it comes to lowering guys they do not like to do it. A guy originally rated a 75 could have a great year and be bumped up to 85 while a guy rated a 90 could have a bad year and drop to a 88. Within a short time frame this leads to a collection of highly rated players.
In fairness to EA we are partly to blame. We cry foul anytime one of "our" guys get a ratings hit.
I expect things to get worse now that player ratings are getting a bigger profile and the dreaded community involvement.Comment

Re: Madden NFL 15 - Top Strong Safeties
Troy should not even be 90+ in coverage and awareness anymore as some are crediting him.
TV Analysists and Stat Critics on the WWW continue to espouse that Troy is regressing as a safety and is basically only servicable as an extra backer in the box because his safety skills are to suspect.
It is time someone else take Troy's throne and he fall down a few more seats.

Madden ratings on defense so far have been pretty horrible overall, it doesn't seem like they have been updated much at all. Polamalu shouldn't be top 5 anymore, it's not 2011. And if anyone should be biased it'd be me considering I've met his family and spent time with them in Hawaii. They are wonderful and believe they are amazing people and so is he, but I'm sure even at this point in his career he'd tell you that he is just happy to still be playing. That and I think Kam should be at least a 95 and Earl Thomas should be around 96-98. Yeah I know I sound like a homer, but they are that good.Xbox One GT- II McG IIComment

Re: Madden NFL 15 - Top Strong Safeties
Troy isn't the Troy of old, hence the reason he's 93. If he was, he'd deserve a 99+ overall rating. He was a special player in his prime.
Individually, he had a good year last year, despite what's being said by those who are misinformed or what is perceived by the public who are simply listening to those who are misinformed. Yes he's regressed. Significantly, in fact. That's what being on the wrong side of 30 does to you unfortunately. Even a significantly regressed Polamalu is a top tier safety in the NFL but. That's how good of a player he is. It's not hard to see if you watch him every single week.
He was one of the few bright spots on an embarrassing Steelers defense last season. If not for him, we would've generated zero turnovers and very few splash plays. Ryan Clark had a disgusting season, and many of his gaffs were attributed to others, or at the very least made others look bad. He was dreadful, hence the reason we made no attempt to retain him and simply waved goodbye, despite the fact he was well respected and well liked. He had many top notch seasons with us, but last year he fell off the wagon completely. He was God awful. Polamalu's game, amongst others (Ike Taylor notably), suffered immensely because of it. Still, Troy was a tremendous asset to the defense, despite the fact he was moved from SS to ILB because no one was getting the job done besides Timmons after Foote was lost for the year week 1. I bet those saying he's not a top 5 safety and making ridiculous claims such as "he's just serviceable" had no idea he played the back half of the year at ILB and solely in the box taking on blockers, etc. What safety willingly makes that change for the good of the team, knowing full well the negative impacts it's going to have on their individual game? A better question would be, what safety CAN make that change, yet still be able to make plays and force turnovers and positively influence a floundering defense?Comment

Re: Madden NFL 15 - Top Strong Safeties
Troy is still really good despite his aging. Not the same player he was, but still one of the better safeties in the league. Well deserved rating. If anyone doesn't deserve their rating, its Reshad Jones. But I think he's getting some love from the great season he had 2 years ago, so it's pretty justified.Student of the game. #Fundamentals

Re: Madden NFL 15 - Top Strong Safeties
Lets be honest, Polamalu is not what he use to be and this is EA giving him a respect rating. This guy should be barely in the top 10. I think he should be around an 87.Comment

Re: Madden NFL 15 - Top Strong Safeties
I also agree that Troy isn't the player he used to be and shouldn't be rated so highly.
I like the rest of the list, though.Comment
