Madden NFL 12 Team Ratings - NFC North

05:01 PM - July 28, 2011 by Steve_OS

Jon Robinson of ESPN The Gamer takes us through the team overall ratings for the NFC North in Madden NFL 12.

Green Bay Packers: 92
No surprise here as the Super Bowl champs are the highest-rated team in "Madden 12." Aaron Rodgers falls just one point short of "Madden" perfection, with a 98 overall, while Charles Woodson (93 overall) and Tramon Williams (92 overall) will keep the corners on lock.

Chicago Bears: 85
Combine Jay Cutler's 98 throwing power with Devin Hester (98 speed) and Johnny Knox (97 speed) going deep, and you have a very fun "Madden" team. Throw in the running of Matt Forte, and you have an offense to be feared.

Detroit Lions: 76
The overall team number is a little low, but I can see the Lions being a popular team this year for the simple fact that this defensive line is going to give people headaches. Suh (95 hit power) and Fairley (88 hit power) are going to abuse virtual backs so bad, "Madden" might need to bring back the old ambulance.

Minnesota Vikings: 74
Ever since Adrian Peterson stormed the league, the Vikings have been a popular pick to play as in "Madden." But if you're still playing as them this year, it's really only because you want to run the ball down your friend's throat as All Day. And why not when the back boasts a 97 overall rating with 97 speed, 97 acceleration, and 90 trucking.

Herm Edwards said it best, YOU PLAY TO WIN THE GAME! Even with Aso, Green Bay is still the better team. Vick won't finish the season, stats prove that and it is a QB driven league junior. Good luck with Vince Young ROFL!

Laugh now but history has proven that Reid is a mastermind at molding QB's.

If that is the only reason, all your posts are for not.

The opening season ratings are from last year, not based on potential of this year.

Thank mr spell checker

. I don't know about automatic super bowl but it means that its going to be hell to pass on the Eagles even if we trade Samuel. But listening to the Eagles broadcast, they might keep all three and let rookies take over in the LB position and kicker positions. Either way Eagles Secondary is the best or one of the best in the league as of now.

I'm still confused as to how a thread on NFC North team ratings turned into Packers vs. Eagles.

The thing is people are saying they are way better than the Eagles, I prove that they aren't but yet they still say it, the Packers didn't beat the Eagles by that much both games. The Eagles should be rated higher than 86 atleast a 89 or 90.

What?

So when comparing the QB's, we can only use the stats from the two games we played against each other.

But when comparing teams the fact that we beat you guys twice in your stadium means nothing?

How does that make sense?

This thread is ridiculous. I'm out.

well hell why not compare them when they played each other? If the pack was so much better than the Eagles they should of blown them out!

Really it was obvious to you? I wasn't quite sure judging by this.

Rodgers is obviously more accurate. But Vick is accurate as well, and Rodgers can make plays with his feet when the opportunity presents itself. That's what makes them close, and in that situation I'd rather have Vick because he's a homerun threat. You can't really drop everyone in coverage because he (and LeSean McCoy - I believe he was a Pro Bowler on the Eagles too ) can kill you with their speed all game. And if you blitz, the possiblilty of a deep pass to Jackson/Maclin is there. What truly seperates Rodgers from Vick is the fact that Vick tends to tire himself out over the course of the season, causing himself to sort of fade late. Rodgers numbers are inflated because they basically use a spread philosphy, which goes away from the traditional run-the-ball mentality in the NFC North. The Packers can't really run the ball consistently, they proved that last year (Note I said consistently) so they basically use a pass-heavy offense. Also, let's put this to rest - if Chicago wasn't so stubborn (Seriously, they lost because Chicago ran a vanilla offense for whatever reason) they could have easily won. The Bears shut them down running the ball and Matt Forte couldn't be stopped. So, yes they should be the best rated team in the NFC North, but not the game. They don't even have a rushing attack. Ryan Grant better be an 82 at BEST. Starks should be around 72-74, had a nice run in the playoffs but dissappeared eventually.

They could of easily of won? Vanilla offense? It was a defensive struggle the packers and the bears sucked on offense in that game not to mention Cutler was out of the game. And Matt Forte couldn't be stopped?? Not once did I see Forte show any spark in that game the packers shut you guys down and the bears shut us down it came down to the end like any other Bears/Packers.I don't think the bears could've easily won, I hate to come out and say this but that's an bad excuse.

So if a Packers fan basically calls the Eagles overrated, you wouldn't expect a bunch of Eagles fans to come and defend their team? I could see it if Green Bay had went 14-2 and then lost in the divisional round, but they won the Super Bowl. Give them some credit. If your Eagles are as good as you say they are (and I think they're the runaway favorite in the NFC East this year, especially with the addition of Asomugha), then they'll do great this year. We shall see.
