    Re: Madden NFL 16 Player Ratings - Top Safeties

    List seems good to me. I was interested to see how'd Earl Thomas would be rated as a tackler after watching a lot of games last year and noticing that he really isn't a good tackler at all but it seems like the way they stacked him up with Chancellor I think looks good.

    I wonder what ratings will be released over the next couple days. There's still 10 reveals left according to the "ratings hub" and eight of those are reserved for each division I'm assuming. I figured they'd separate FS and SS but that's not the case so I doubt they'll separate K/P which will be next. Maybe the other one will just be the entire spreadsheet with all teams or something.

          I'm guessing you're basing this assumption on the Seahawks @ Chiefs play where Earl missed an open tackle on Jamaal Charles which was not representative of the entire year

          "Thomas plays with a controlled recklessness that makes him a fun tackler to watch. His lack of elite size will always limit him in some situations. But given his profile as a play making free safety, his missed tackles are quite low"
          Or maybe it's my opinion based on watching plenty of Seahawks games. Good hitter? Yeah. Good player? Definitely. Good tackler? Ehhhh. And you couldn't see my face when I read you cited Bleacher Report but it looked something like this:

              Can't complain with this at all. Also I think Weddle is underrated irk. He is never really talked about in top safety discussions. It's always the 2 Seahawks and McCourty. But I would rank him ahead of McCourty. And I am Pats fan.

                  I'd take Earl Thomas over any other DB for sure, and I definitely don't doubt his tackling ability.

                      Earl Thomas is the potential GOAT FS and he's not even the best safety in Madden?

                        Accurate list with the exception of Weddle being #1. Top 5 yeah, but not #1. Also, after reading their response on twitter about Haden not being a top 5 CB because Sean Smith had a better season, then Harrison needs to be above Thomas because he had a better season. They have a serious problem with consistency in their ratings.

                            I think its mostly because he plays on the Chargers and not on a contender. Same with Phillip Rivers, he is one of the better QB's in the game but often gets left out of the conversation.

                              EARL Thomas isn't that good..Consider the whole of the defense in Seattle..
