The ratings are simply 1 man's opinion...nothing more, nothing less. It's a major reason the game plays as it does. The overall rating has become the end all be all of ratings numbers...it's why that number is the focus of the yearly Madden numbers release.
So, whatever they have to jack the other numbers up to to reach what NFL players deem acceptable, they'll do that.
It all comes down to who is the perceived #1 person at each position as to whether the ratings are "acceptable", rather than rating them on REAL data OVER TIME. Otherwise, how can we explain these rating changing week to week...the raw data certainly didn't change. They didn't suddenly lose speed, or catching ability, based on ONE GAME. It's the biggest things holding Madden back, and until they change it, it'll be the same game every year.
