Madden NFL 15 - Complete Player and Team Ratings for AFC and NFC East

Geno Smith has 19 higher deep accuracy. I understand he had a poor year but does one bad year drop your accuracy by like 20? Wasn't it a high 70 or low 80 to start last year? After his great year? And not all of those deep passes were wide-open. He was throwing to a 4th-string WR pressed into Slot duty that has bricks for hands, and still sometimes had double coverage. He still had to get it past/through safeties, something even Tom Brady couldn't do at times last year.

I like most of the overalls, and generally, the players should play well. It's just a few ratings that make me go "wtf?"

And on Foles: He had 140 less completions? That should show you something about the talent of his run game. He had a top rushing attack in the league, not to mention the receiving threats from the backfield. Luck had very little run game last year. He was forced to sling it around, something Foles didn't have to do. Not to mention, the no-huddle makes you look better when you're facing a tired defense with a great scheme (something I think will be severely hampered but not totally stopped this next year).

Probably because Luck never had a 7 TD game and didn't throw for 27 TDs against 2 INTs last season?

Foles had a better completion ratings, higher yards per completion, better passer rating, and threw 4 more TDs on 140 less completions, and sat out in the 4th QTR against the Raiders. . . not to mentioned he played 3 or 4 less games than Luck . . .but yeah, why would he ever be similarly rated?

He was also a system qb with almost 3000 yds worth of production from his running backs.

Out of curiosity, can someone that still has M25 check RG3's deep accuracy in the last ratings update this year. If it's higher than a 66, I have no idea what to even say about it being moved that low for M15. In fact, unless Madden has adopted some brand new ratings system, shouldn't all players, barring injury, that were in M25 have the same ratings they did in the last update for M25? lol

There were 5 games where Foles didn't play a full game.

Week 1 DNP
Week 2 DNP
Week 3 (1 throw)
Week 4 (attempted 4 passes, wen 3/4 for a TD)
Week 8 DNP (Injury)

He also had a concussion Week 7 against Dallas, which was clearly his worst game in his career.

We also had the SnowBowl week 14 vs Det which was almost impossible to get in a passing rhythm for the first half.

So lets say, there were 6 games where Foles wasn't able to compete to his fullest ability based on injury, PT (Vick) and weather. . . Still scored more than Luck.

Really? You don't think Chip Kelly's offense didn't have anything to do with that? Foles is definitely benefiting from that offense.

Yes!!! Randy Starks finally gets the rating he deserves! Jimmy Wilson is a tad low and I think my only major issue is that how in the hell is Ellerbe below Wheeler? Wheeler was total *** last year whereas Ellerbe at least showed promise in some areas.

I think Ellerbe and Wheeler should be the same, and likely at 77 or less tbh. Our LB play last year was atrocious.

I do agree with you about Jimmy Wilson though, he's too low. Alot of that however seems to be because according to EA he's dumb as a box of rocks with his low awareness and play recognition ratings. Bump those in CFM after a few practices/weeks and he looks alot better. His coverage ratings seem about right.

Jarvis Landry at a 69 is pretty low IMO too. This kid has only impressed everyone at TC so far, he was good at LSU too. It again could just be to low AWR, but this kid is likely going to be the 3rd WR/Slot WR this season, so that's pretty crazy low IMO.

Personally, I also think Tannehill at 84 is a bit high, 82/81 sounds about right.

Juwan James probably a bit low too.

Moreno a bit high, Hartline a bit low.

Whatever, it all evens out I guess.

As you can see, I'm a Giants fan, and I agree. Especially since RG3 has shown he can do the deep ball.

I am a die hard redsksins fans & I think the skins are way to low, plus RG III not rated higher for the deep ball is just redicilous

He was also a system qb with almost 3000 yds worth of production from his running backs.

How'd Vick do? 86 Rate, 54 Completion rating, 5 Tds over 3 INTs. He threw more INTs in almost 1/3 less passes, with 4 out of our 6 Losses. . .

Matt Barkley had 0 TDs and 4 INTs in the same system.

At some point you have to give Foles some credit. 27 - 2 is unheard of.

[underdog13]

Soo Eli throws 27 int's and gets 87 awr?

I'm just saying, by the numbers (which Madden goes by. . . sometimes) Foles is just as good numbers wise. . . thats why it's not crazy to think they're similarly rated. Peyton Manning threw 7 TDs in a game, Foles did the same, and sat out a quarter lol. .

They finally did Romo right!

90 Throw Power
90 short throw
88 Medium
81 Deep
90 Play Action (long overdue)
82 Throw on the Run
85 Awareness

91 OVR


Been waiting for Romo to get some respect in the Play Action department for sometime now. He's one of the best play fakers in the league.

Re: Madden NFL 15 - Complete Player and Team Ratings for AFC and NFC East

I agree. Not just because I'm a Giants fan, but 8-8 over 3 seasons each, is most a high 70's, and about Eli.. VERY surprised by his 81 overall rating. I'm glad because I use the G-Men, but Eli's too high to start after the year he had in '13. ANOTHER REASON FOR THE HIGHLY REQUESTED RATINGS OVERHAUL!

Don't be fooled. Eli is still a good QB he just needs protection from the line. He's the same guy that won all those Super Bowls. He had a bad cast around him last year and pressed to make plays. On top of running basically the same plays for ten years. I think Manningham is rated too high should be about three points lower. He's not gonna make the roster.

Henry Melton is rated way too high.

They should cut his awareness in half for how bad he is in the clutch. Not to mention he's always had good WRs and Witten around him his whole career.
