    You guys are getting crazy………… all the ratings are close stop judging after 1 game performances. Theres a hole lot of games to be played not everyone here watches every single player ever down ever week. Look up some highlights of marshawn lynch haveing no holes to run threw all year making his own. Lynch is one of the most hardist runners out there and a true play maker.

    Madden is driving me crazy with the Bills. Yes they got stomped by the Cardinals but they are 4-0.

    They main reason is Trent Edwards! He got knocked out in the first series but he is the reason we won the first 4 games and still nothing.

    MADDEN IS A BUNCH OF IDIOTS!!!!

    75% of people that play fantasy sports could do a much better job than these idiots.

    SHOW TRENT EDWARDS SOME LOVE YA JACKASSES!

    Additionally Reed and Parish(out for a couple more weeks) deserve some upgrades. And this is coming from a guy that thought he’d never say that about Reed.

    Ah hell, I’m just glad Buffalo is competitive this year. The hell with Madden rankings!

    Thank you, its about time someone agrees with me… I remember last year and this year that Portis put hits on Linebackers AND Linemen to prevent them from getting to the QB… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dagF3Xoyq3Q

    I have not seen Barber put a hit like that before!

    i have NEVER agreed with any of these so-called AMAZING BLOCKS or hits. all that the guy did was blindside a guy that was already FULLY engaged with an offensive linemen. thats not skill thats just OVERHYPING a guy the just pulled a BITCH MOVE. and im not a cowgirls fan whatsoever but barber has done that plenty of times but it was on guys that were free blitzing not on dudes that were already being blocked.

    and can the portis hype calm down??? yeah he ran all over us but most of the time he wasnt even being touched and when he was touched he was getting takled. i’ll give him that one play when he ran OVER stew and omar on that one play. but besides that his offensive line just mauled our defense. if anyone deserves an upgrade its that front 5…..all of them. and like i stated before the man has the most underrated fullback in the game who he constantly hides behind on runs, mike sellers, his fu(kin bodygaurd. portis got some skill but not really a weapon in his arsenal that he uses a lot(he uses a little bit of everything) for example westbrook is always being elusive and jacobs and barber are always trucking. hes fine the way hes rated but that line should go up

    Ok EA WHY THE FUK!!! is Young an 83! he had one bad game and hes a second string now and you guys ranked him so low. God you people realize theres so damn point of playing as the Titans now since Vince Young is shitty QB now. The only good players now on offense is Chris Johnson, HE CANT CARRY THE WHOLE TEAM ON HIS BACK. you guys are fukn cry babies for ranking him so low after 1 game performance.1 fukn game doesnt make a difference. Young still has a cannon arm but his accuracy is so shitty!!!!! A 78!!!!! ARE U SERIOUS!!! I lost a ranked match thanks to you A-holes cus i had no fuckn QB who can get me the W. Whats so hilarious is you go through the whole roster and the one person you picked out of 53 guys was a game changer performer(YOUNG). No one else just him. If youre gonna ranked Young down at least rank Kerry Collins up next time since its been 3 years since he got a 1st string job(Raiders). Thats no fair to the Titans fans and im not even a Titans fan. No point to use Young at all now period. And fix the connection!!! I STILL LAG OUT when a holding penalty is called GET IT RIGHT. Lagged out 3 times already YOU PEOPLE ARE GOD AWFUL at making a video game. you guys still cant get it right after 20 years. Im 79-28 and i should be around 96-24. The whole EA team are A-Holes.

    When are yall going to put back the WIDE SCREEN VIEW? This would help out when trying to read what’s happening on the flats. I mean I know you have the carmer to rotate but it doesn’t give you a good view as the WIDE SCREEN DOES.

    People need to chill and learn to see talent when its out there, yeah Barber is good, he’s not great at all this year. Jones is better than his ass this year. shit. As for the redskins, no one can say their own team went on the road two weeks, side by side and tackled both of the toughest defenses in the NFL with Dallas and Philly and beat them… no ya can’t say that. So when a team like the Skins can do that with a NEW HEAD COACH too!!! Talent right there. Look at NYG, their undefeated, but who cares cause NYG’s have played team that are jokes, except for what happened during week 1, Skins put up a fight, though they did lose, but look how the bounced back! The only teams in the NFC/ NFC East to recon with are the Skin’s and Cowboys I believe. Nd Jason Campbell, what a story this kid is, damn. He’s gone through 8 different head coachs (inlcudin through college) and the kid is lightin up the team, no INT’s. That’s really good. Talent, talent…

    man SHUT THE FU((((K UP!!! u as well as the rest of us kno that VY is crap!!! hes fast ohhhhhhhhhh aaahhhhhhhhhhhh…and it ends there. the man shouldn’t even that much throw power with an average of 6 yard per att. and like 156yds per game. he also has thrown like 32 picks and only completing 57% of his passes. hes rated just fine and the only reason u want him to be rated higher and b more accurate is because u use the team on madden and u want to use the fluke, brand new, mike vick, reincarnated in vince young and run around forever and be able to hit a man like 50 yds away on point and now u cant(like the real vince can’t). there’s a reason hes on the bench.

    [quote comment="40379"]i hope EA adds some new equipment to the players because its been a while since they’ve added any new stuff in, one thing i can think of that people are starting to wear alot are the shirt style sleeves that only go down to the elbow compared to the full length ones which they already have in the game, just something to think about adding maybe in a patch or in madden 10.[/quote]
    agree. i know carson palmer wears those sleeves every week.

    [quote comment="40370"][quote comment="40368"]How about No overall Ratings at all?
    let me describe this to you before you throw out my suggestion…
    EA could rate the players physical attributes (Speed, Strength, Agility,.. and so on) without it effecting the players overall rating. This could give us gamers more accurate ratings from player to player. They could add attributes such as Focus, Consistency, Leadership, Team player. Then instead of updating the players Overall everyweek. EA could just make the players Hot and Cold depending on how they are playing. a Player dosnt just lose speed because hes not getting the ball thrown his way. like in the current system. This would work for teams as well. Some teams would be hot and others would be cold depending on how they are preforming on the field.
    This about this on franchise mode… your in free agency, and your looking to sign a LB that will fit how you play. there is Joe Smith rated an 87 overall. Then theres Thomas Vincent rated an 81. in the Current format you would almost always sign Joe Simth. But imagine they didnt have overall ratings. and Instead you see that Thomas Vincent has better agility and finesse pass ruch moves. This is exactly what your team needs.
    Imagine playing online and having the advantage over some noobs that just see the players and teams overall ratings. You on the other hand know football. You know who is fast, Strong, can catch in traffic. and you can set your depth chart accordingly, while the other guy has trouble figuring out who he should start while hes playing with the Pats instead of his favorite team.[/quote]

    i think your on to something there. that could really take off with the more experienced gamers who want that more realistic feel to the game, with a bit of tweaking it could work really well, that my opinion[/quote]

    thanks man, ive been trying to pitch this idea on here but all people want to do is argue

    i love me some philly fans, portis a$$ rapes the suppossed number 1 defense in the nfl like a accountant discovering why not to drop the soap in jail, and he gets 0 credit for it, his awareness should be through the roof cus he (zorn set the formation) called the fourth and short play that iced the game in the fourth, his blocking skill is unquestionably the best in the league, im not asking for retorts, somethings just are, portis is the best blocking back in the league deal with it, and yet somehow he and bum ass marshawn lynch are rated the same, seriously hes laid out every marque linebacker in the league (eagles linebakers don’t count as they are glorified special teamers much in the mold of antonio pierce) and his STR and POW are relatively low, another philly fan wrote the redskins o line needs an upgrade not portis, aparently you know nothing of football and the tumor on our oline i call chris samuels. This guy makes the probowl every year only because oline stats are not closely followed this year he has more hurries, sacks and tackles for loss than the rest of our oline COMBINED!!! EA be fair give portis his due and please dont say hes anywhere on the same level as marshawn lynch, use ladell betts as a guide he might be either equal to or slightly better than lynch, so portis should be that much better

    and a special thanks goes out to EA for lowering vince young! hes a great RB, horrible QB (i didnt think it was possible but he is actually worse than alex smith)

    [quote comment="41031"][quote comment="40370"][quote comment="40368"]How about No overall Ratings at all?
    let me describe this to you before you throw out my suggestion…
    EA could rate the players physical attributes (Speed, Strength, Agility,.. and so on) without it effecting the players overall rating. This could give us gamers more accurate ratings from player to player. They could add attributes such as Focus, Consistency, Leadership, Team player. Then instead of updating the players Overall everyweek. EA could just make the players Hot and Cold depending on how they are playing. a Player dosnt just lose speed because hes not getting the ball thrown his way. like in the current system. This would work for teams as well. Some teams would be hot and others would be cold depending on how they are preforming on the field.
    This about this on franchise mode… your in free agency, and your looking to sign a LB that will fit how you play. there is Joe Smith rated an 87 overall. Then theres Thomas Vincent rated an 81. in the Current format you would almost always sign Joe Simth. But imagine they didnt have overall ratings. and Instead you see that Thomas Vincent has better agility and finesse pass ruch moves. This is exactly what your team needs.
    Imagine playing online and having the advantage over some noobs that just see the players and teams overall ratings. You on the other hand know football. You know who is fast, Strong, can catch in traffic. and you can set your depth chart accordingly, while the other guy has trouble figuring out who he should start while hes playing with the Pats instead of his favorite team.[/quote]

    i think your on to something there. that could really take off with the more experienced gamers who want that more realistic feel to the game, with a bit of tweaking it could work really well, that my opinion[/quote]

    thanks man, ive been trying to pitch this idea on here but all people want to do is argue[/quote]
    that is an amazing idea man. really

    yea they should add way more atmosphere to the game. i dont get how the ps2 has things like refs the chain gang u said and other things like way better animations for tackles and broken takles. also small things like when they call a penalty the ref says the guys number like in real life. i say that in the next madden they should add all that because they lied about the wide range of takle animations(i’ve only seen like 7) and the graphics arent that great for them to have less atmosphere than the ps2. does anyone kno if these things are on the ps3 because i would definately trade in my 360 for it
