Madden 10 Top Player Ratings
by 
Last month I was able to break some ratings via Twitter while at an NFL hosted luncheon. Those ratings though were not finalized and have been tweaked continuously since. ESPN has obtained the finalized top 10 rated players at some of the positions and even break it down displaying some of the individual ratings categories. These are the official ratings that will be shipped with the game. As usual there will be a release day roster update but generally that adjusts player movement more than ratings.
Click for each position: QB – RB – WR – TE – DEF
While the ratings are stretched out this year that change isn’t really displayed with these since the premiere players remain in the 90s. What do you think of these ratings? Leave your thoughts in the comments.

what the hell! TJ had 112 receptions in 2007. And they drop him to a top 20 reciver because damn Palmer got hurt.Their replacement Fitzpatrick didn't know what the hell to do on the feild, throwing it to the sideline every play.
June 8, 2009 at 11:08 pm
totally agreed
June 8, 2009 at 11:05 pm
It's the same old Madden. If one player gets hurt,their dropped no question. But since king Brady has 3 super bowls on his mantle you shouldnt drop him.
August 14, 2009 at 11:53 am
ok LT was hurt and had a bad year he didnt drop that much … he almost took his team 18-0 and has 3 rings and not to mention is world class guy … Peyton over rated all u gotta do is blitz him the whole game

Drew Brees should be a 98 if Brady is a 98
June 12, 2009 at 4:36 am
actually drew brees should be a 99 if peyton manning is a 99. he out played manning the whole year. If you look at the stats brees is ahead of him in every category but Completion percentage. he is only one or 2% less and that is because the saints go deep alot.
not to mention the 35 TD's brees threw compared to manning 27

WHERE THE FU*K IS CHAMP BAILEY?!?! THATS BS
August 14, 2009 at 11:54 am
Camps gets burned dude … watch both the chargers games … he gets burned by vincent jackson and he isnt very fast ….
June 15, 2009 at 6:30 pm
why the hell is thomas jones such a low rank. he was 5th in the nfl in rushing last year. he deserves at least a 93. his speed needs to go up too
June 15, 2009 at 9:22 pm
Titans got sooooooooooooooooooooooo robbed….
June 18, 2009 at 12:37 am
RAndy Moss 96…WHAT????
ARE YOU SERIOUS!!!
June 22, 2009 at 11:47 pm
How is calvin johnson not AT LEAST a 96 he is probably the most talanted reciever in the game. HE better get moved up after he starts the season w/ a 2TD performanc (which he will) and rivers is completely underated, he's an elite QB and (even tho i love him) ed reed isnt a 99-shud b 98 and patrick willis should be a 99 along w/ ware
June 29, 2009 at 6:14 pm
i like them because it makes the game realer i mean who wants to be a loser and make every body on their team good. i know i like a challenge every now and then but i like it how you can actually see and fell your weaknesses on a game.
June 30, 2009 at 4:04 pm
ad needs to be 99
June 30, 2009 at 4:07 pm
Tom Brady is not 2 QB
August 14, 2009 at 11:55 am
R u stupid or just a crack head drop out ?
June 30, 2009 at 4:08 pm
Drew Brees needs to be a 99 for sure
July 1, 2009 at 7:17 pm
How is tony romo's rating so low when he through 25 touchdowns(thats more than Mcnabb and carson palmer) while missing 3 games and he's lower than Donavan Mcnabb come on
August 14, 2009 at 11:55 am
Romo chokes on dick when it comes time to perform
July 2, 2009 at 4:02 am
i like the fact that they are getting rid of all the 90's except for the actual elite players in the league. I can understand if Tom Brady was in the top ten but not the second best QB in the game. Noone knows if Brady will have a good season coming off knee surgery. Daunte Culpepper had a similar injury in Minnesota in 2005 and look at where he is now. Tom Brady should be about a 94 overall not a 98
July 2, 2009 at 4:07 am
how is maurice jones drew not in the top 10 for running backs he is a beast
July 3, 2009 at 8:12 am
If Brady can miss the year and still make the top ratings then where the heck is Merriman!?!?!?!?!?!
August 14, 2009 at 11:57 am
I agree but tom does has 3 rings and merriman has well a suspension and a dance ….
July 3, 2009 at 8:13 am
I like the chargers!!!! Where was merriman????? Go bolts!!!!!!
July 3, 2009 at 8:15 am
81 throw power for Rivers, you must be joking!!!!!!!!!!!!
July 3, 2009 at 8:16 am
Rivers has been 88 for three years in a row and he has gone from nobody to the leages top rated passer, what is with that?
July 3, 2009 at 8:17 am
does anyone like the lakers?
July 3, 2009 at 8:18 am
O i frogot we were talking about football
July 3, 2009 at 8:19 am
These ratings are retarded
July 3, 2009 at 9:20 am
adrain got robbed … should be a 99 and car should be at least low 80's
July 12, 2009 at 8:59 pm
were the hell is wes welker
July 24, 2009 at 12:50 am
I'm glad peyton is still number 1. I cant stand these dumb shits all jumping on bradys band wagon. Plus hes been out for an entire year, he will suck.
July 25, 2009 at 3:23 am
I was just looking at Randy Moss and i just dont understand why is he the 4 wr on the game no brady last year and still 68 balls and 1000 yards moss is the best in our time just look at his stats 99 last year 96 this year he still should be 99!!!!!!
July 25, 2009 at 3:52 am
Randy Moss is what u call world class speed he should have been 99 on speed other whise how does he out run CB and DB man come on get his overall should been 99 i dont care what nobody say!!! I mean Tom Brady is still 2 do anybody see where, iam going here and he was out for last season and moss still catch over 1000 like, i said before he is the best in our time just go and look at his stats dont hate but it dont matter because when the season starts and if u have online stats will change 10-4,iam out!!!
July 28, 2009 at 10:45 pm
Vincent jackson had more recieving yards than randy moss yet he is only 84 overal???
July 30, 2009 at 6:43 pm
ok lt had an off season but they droped his overall by 5 that isn't right
July 30, 2009 at 9:12 pm
Im sorry but what are they thinking?
Once again, the New England Patriots have been denied the obvious ranking of Number one offense in the NFL.
Tom Brady's injury last season meant him missing the whole year but we still managed to fill the gap and win 11 games of the season. this goes some way to saying what a quality offensive line and wide recievers we have.
Tom Brady, to start, will always be better than Peyton Manning! ALWAYS! Regardless of the injury he picked up last season, he still threw over four thousand yards and led the team to a 16-0-0 season in 2007-2008.
Wide reciever Wes Welker (rated 91-93) broke the record for most receptions in a super bow final during the same season. partnered by Randy Moss who made countless deep receptions from Tom Brady.
The New England Patriots have proved in recent years that they are a force to be reckoned with and people still fail to realize this.
August 14, 2009 at 12:00 pm
Im a vikings fan but i have to agree u doubt the pats your just stupid …. they could have gone regular season undeafeted if not for Tom getting injured and possibly a superbowl … they are every year when tom is healthy … and may go undeafeated this year …
August 9, 2009 at 9:35 pm
what is joe flacco he had a hell of a season rookies don't take teams to the afc championships only big ben did tht and a couple other nobodys but when big ben did it his rating was huge!
August 14, 2009 at 12:01 pm
Thats cause ben is much more of a play maker than joe is other wise they would have beat the steelers in 1 of those 3 games last year …
August 10, 2009 at 8:11 pm
1st off D-mac is a top 5 QB… his accuracy is at an elite level… T.O. is the third best receiver in the league my friends not the tenth and his speed is in the low 90 range maybe a 93… i think madden totally messed these ratings up… And to top it all off AD's Carrie rating is at a staggering 69 wtf is up…Albert Haynesworth is at the most a 95… I dont really like these ratings… The play of this game better grab me… Because so far I dont like what im seeing….
August 14, 2009 at 12:03 pm
AD had 2 bad games fumbling last year so it kills it i suppose … but everything else u are saying is BS….
August 19, 2009 at 11:35 pm
the game hasnt improved i really think it took a step backward game isnt as fun and alot of the players rating are all wrong
August 23, 2009 at 9:25 am
Tony Romo only an 87 ?? Seriously??? His stats are way under rated what they should be. His only real problem is his inability to this point to keep his poise late in the year and the two playoff games he has been in. Other then that, his 3 years of NFL experience puts him at about a 95 overall QB rating, which is VERY HIGH. He has almost doubled his TDs vs INTs over his career this far, which is WAY better then even Troy Aikman did over his career. Granted Troy had excellent poise and played his best when it mattered the most, but that stat should be left in the hands of the Madden player. Romos player stats should be atleast a 92 or 93 overall. I'd put him at about a 94. His awareness should be much higher, as should his accuracy ratings. Romo has been raped by these lame Madden stats, period.

Harvin is a beast!!!!!!!!!!!!He has good hands and will juke u like…..he is the next fastest player next to chris johnson and will kill u on punt and kick returns!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!so put harvin as no.2 WR……. I have him at no.1 in front of Hayward-Bey & Derrick Mason & Torry Holt…………By the way DON'T get Heyward-Bey because he has no hands & is not a 1st round pick at all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
September 12, 2009 at 4:11 pm
