    Explain in what way Adrian Peterson was a Top 100 player in the 2014 NFL season and I'll admit I am mistaken.

      He gave solid examples on why the players aren't reliable with the top 100, and you gave absolutely nothing to counter. smh

      SorryYazan. I'll stay out of it. Saw you already replied.

        Just want to point out that Adrian Peterson did play in the first game of 2014. Those players were really impressed by those 75 yards.

          AP has always been fun to use in Madden, can't wait to see some highlights people pull off this year

            I'm not really concerned about ratings because I'll change them as I see fit but am a little surprised that more people don't express the feeling of being deceived by the calculation of the overall rating being lower despite all attributes in general being higher.

            I know the tuning of the game makes a difference but we are taught, to look at a players individual attributes not the overall yet are told how great it is that the overalls are a few points lower than before.I don't really see how that helps anything.

              The fact that Gurley isn't top 5 is ridiculous, also Miller is not a top 5 RB. That's insane. And where is Devonte Freeman??

                This list does surprise me a lot. AP should be #1 always. There's no one even close to him and having L. Bell as the best running in back in madden is a mistake.

                  Lord knows those players are very reliable and knowledgeable about year-end ranking of players, having put Adrian Peterson as one of the top 100 best players in 2014 despite not actually playing a single down in 2014 and Andrew Luck being in the Top 100 list this past year despite playing limited games and badly for most of them with injury.This hurt to skim through, but there are numerous problems in your analysis: Adrian Peterson had a lower average yards per carry than Le'Veon Bell's this year and last year. He is also not a serviceable receiver out of the backfield unlike Le'Veon Bell. Lamar Miller by the end of Madden 16 is a 91 OVR running back and he did better a receiver last year than the year previous so him being high is not unreasonable. Gurley sounds like he will still be a very good running back, and David Johnson had limited playing time to show if he is more than a flash in the pan. Surprised no one is asking for Thomas Rawls considering he had a better performance than David Johnson on the ground before being hurt.

                  Ben Roethlisberger put up those numbers playing in 12 games whereas Jameis had 16, the former averaging about 382 yards per game while Jameis about 252. Tom Brady's offense wasn't skewered like Aaron Rodgers' offense and he had a defense to help ease weight of carrying the team. Aaron Rodgers is still accurate and mobile which is one more dimension that he has over Brady who is still a Top 5 QB. Carson Palmer is most likely just outside of the Top 5. The Player's Top 100 is not a good measure whatsoever as to how good a player actually is since they'll put in players who either played bad that year and get by on reputation (Andrew Luck) or did not even play at all (Adrian Peterson, 2014.)
                  How do you consider Adverages and the guy isn't playing?these ratings are ridiculous but if you really feel they're legit i can't be mad at you

                    The biggest problem isn't that Bell is rated higher (I feel AP should be #1 no question but I will admit AP is only a true runner, while LB is a receiver and blocker), but that AP is a 91. For years he's put the team on his back and dominated. Everyone said that last year he would regress because of his age but he showed that he still has it. He should be a 95 Minimum.

                      They lowered ratings across the board this year.

                        Don't think he is stronger than some linemen.

                            I understand that, but AP is at the level as a HB as Qb's like Brady and Rodgers are. So whatever the highest QB OVR is, AP should be right at that too.

                              No problem. You couldn't pay me to attempt to tackle the guy (as cool as it would be to be able to say I got steam rolled by one of the greatest). Vikings fans will always passionately argue for AP because for years we've never had a real QB or passing attack. AP has had the team on his back since he came into the league. Can you just imagine what a team like the Patriots or Packers would have been like over the last decade with a back like AP?

                                But running is down in the nfl its not 2003 anymore. Also who cares if he's low 90's but averages 4.5 ypc?
