Week Three Ratings Change Suggestions

Yesterday the man in charge of the Madden 10 player ratings Donny Moore tweeted that this year the philosophy is results on the field will be what determines ratings changes with no excuses. It doesn’t matter who the player is, if they aren’t producing or if they are outdoing expectations they’ll see their ratings move. With this in mind here are some potential changes to look for this week.

Terrell Owens saw his play drop off last year and he has not produced for the Bills with only five catches through three games. His 91 rating is no longer justified. On the other end of the spectrum is Joe Flacco who was largely ignored last year in the ratings changes and so far has been stuck at an 81 this year despite other QBs seeing movement. He has a 101.4 QB rating with 6 TDs to 2 INTs and 839 yards for the undefeated Ravens. There are some terrible QBs in the league (JaMarcus Russell, Brady Quinn) and a 9 and 10 point difference between those two and Flacco isn’t reflective of a big enough spread. The Titans have been good against the run and pressured the QB but their defensive backs have been the weakness this season and could see some drops.

Some other moves to expect will be Chad Pennington to the IR and the benching of Byron Leftwich in favor of Josh Johnson in Tampa. As usual leave your thoughts in the comments on what players are outperforming or disappointing compared to their current ratings.

Brendon Ayanbedejo was "AFC player of the week for the week 3 "Joe Flacco, Dawan Landry,Willis McGahee, Mark Clayton, Derrick Mason and Antwan Barnes need a rating boost "TO BE HONEST THE WHOLE RAVENS TEAM NEED A BOOST AS A TEAM"

Mike Sims-Walker, Quinten Groves, Justin Durant need some boosts. Definately Terrance Knighton. For a 3rd round pick, he is a monster in the Jag's new 3-4 defense.

What about Brett Favre not by the last game but man his stats are horrible on the game i mean like he only threw like one or 2 intercepts and his stats on the game aren't even close but damn his deep ball throw should be a little bit better.

agree with giantsfan124, but Mike Johnsen is low enough.

touch the ratings around the trade deadline, yes Touch
yall tackle the real life players harder than they do in my game literally!!"so an so needs a hit, naw u do
no clock issues but this is the deel!!
1. facemask penalty occurs then a fumble and the ball is up for grabs ,penalty disappears
2.ball is not caught on the sideline yet the refs concur a catch but its the next down…weird
3.flatz passes are real and if u cant stop them thats on YOU, "bring it back" there are many defenses
4.only m. manningham and odom from the bengals get a SUPER BOOST ( "FAVRE")
is he exceeding your 30years so your suppose to be sorry scandal? fire that guy or group
are we waiting till he retires to show RESPECT, then i can play with hall of fame Favre (ur fired)say it
5. only if i do contain and i run my DT elsewhere should a QB have 1 minute in the pocket
6. computer flips me on a catch and its a dropss with Larry Fitz, i flip them, its helluva catches from my
goal line to their touchdown!!!!!!!with any team!!!player!!!! Catch button upgrade, try that "a hit"
7. also do "a hit" on the tackle button… upgrade,i dont know if i have corner backs or they
on the corner serving the cheerleaders, just give them all pom poms, i bet they still get pick six's(puter
8. linemen droping into coverage looking like Deion Sanders, have you ever seen Haynesworth
go up high (jump period) and go get it or does it fall in their lap!!!!!!!maybe high hands but a jump!!
9.COME-ON MAN last play no nothing just hope your in the lead when the time hits ZERO!!challenge
10. u can drop the bills QB all u want ,T.O. has enough justification from last year(z) that he can be
chanced to the trade deadline PERIOD, start on WR's that "dont have a track record"
maybe u wont bother him since i gave you a john McCain line!!

I am in NO WAY BIASED towards the Eagles because I am a diehard Patriots fan, BUT I do use them a lot online. Some players that NEED to be increased are:

Kevin Kolb (back to back 300+ gms to start career, first in history)
DeSean Jackson (increase overall to around 86 with increased route running)
Jason Avant (slot receiver, NEEDS to AT LEAST be rated higher then Brown who isn't even being used)
Brent Celek (leads team with 22 receps)
Nick Cole (filling in nicely at LG)
Victor Abiamiri (he's starting ahead of Parker and should be in the mid to high 70s)
Joselio Hanson (nickel corner is ahead of Hobbs on DC and should be rated higher then him)
Macho Harris (should be rated higher then Mikell who he's starting over)

To be fair, the following players should go down:

Jeremy Maclin (hasn't made much of an impact)
Reggie Brown (not even in rotation)
Ellis Hobbs (4th CB)
Quentin Mikell (nothing more then a back-up at this point)

http://intensedebate.com/people/SpEaR_tACLe RvG_SPEAR

lemme break it down fo ya..
Kevin Kolb shud get a boost.. doesnt have a big arm but if u watch his tape he is very accurate!
DeSean Jackson imma say around 85 to 88 overall..
Jason Avant needs to be atleast 72 and up.. might be slow a little bit but he catch all the ball thrown to his way..
Brent Celek.. led the NFL wit 22 rec and 2nd on yards.. and he's toughness needs BULK and his trucking needs BULK too! EA do me a favor! watch this guys tape..
im not sure about J.Hanson and E.Hobbs.. but if u remember E.Hobbs is a starter in NE Patriots.. didnt u see when J.Hanson burned by M.Colston 2 weeks ago!? i still think that E.Hobbs is better than J.Hanson..
and there is no way that V.Harris is higher than Q.Mikell maybe not just yet.. Mikell is a pro bowl caliber bruh.. but maybe a little boost on V.Harris will work..
Reggie Brown should be 70 or lower then give J.Avant the love he deserves and put some muscle on.. Reggie brown in some weeks wasnt even active.. so he should be lower..
i disagree on Jeremy Maclin.. i think he is good on where he at ryt now..
and Quentin Mikell isnt a back up.. u mean Quentin Demps right!? on Q.Mikell.. he needs some boost too..

Panthers:

Delhomme – Shouldn't go down aside from carry. 2 INTs that basically weren't his fault.

D. Williams – Shouldn't go down, play calling has been awful, and he has still produced despite his severly deminished role.

Thomas Davis – Should go up and have A potential. Completely under-rated at the LB position.

DTs – Down, down, down, down. Can they go negative?

Peppers – Down, he doesn't deserve a 96 overall. He isn't producing. His motor is only there for a quarter at best.

Charles Johnson – Up, the guy produces in limited minutes

Na'ill Diggs – Up above Landon JOhnson. No one where near as bad as he's rated.

Landon Johnson – Down. The guy is just awful.

Anderson – Up, not great, but slightly better than his ratings suggest.

Big EZ

Chargers!!!!

Philip Rivers leads the NFL in passing yards. Sure, his TD total isn't as high as it could be but that's not entirely his fault. More a product of bad redzone play calling by the OC.

Vincent Jackson definitely deserves a ratings boost! He's 2nd in Rec yards to Reggie Wayne, 2nd in YPC among receivers with 10+ catches to DeSean Jackson, tied for 2nd in receiving TD's.

For Tampa,
i know Winslow is dropping some, BUT NOT THAT MANY! Put his catch back up!
Raise Caddy's speed and agility
Raise Antonio Bryant's speed!
Raise Josh Johnson's Accuracy and Speed! Much faster than an 81 and plenty accurate if u watch the Giants game! There were 2 dropped passes on that drive, he shoulda been 6-10. Clayton dropped a TD pass and Winslow dropped a 20yd bullet!

I think that Jeff Faine needs to be white again…and bigger. Nugent’s number is 4, not 5. Zuttah needs to be stronger and faster (check the combine stats). Penn’s awareness and PB should be higher. Aquib Talib should have more awareness…he gave up one big play to T.O. and shut down Roy Williams. He’s by FAR the best db there now.
