Week Four Ratings Change Suggestions

We’re now through a full quarter of the NFL season and at this point players have had ample opportunity to display whether they are playing at a level worthy of a ratings increase or that they aren’t living up to their current ratings and deserve to drop. With the next roster update for Madden 10 coming later this week here again is an opportunity to let your thoughts be known on what players should see adjustments.

Certainly Steve Smith of the Giants is at the top of the list of players that are severely underrated. Smith leads the league in receptions, yards, and touchdowns yet he is still rated only an 81. He should see a significant bump that better represents his emergence as a #1 receiver. Elvis Dumervil for the Broncos is tied for the league lead in sacks with eight but is rated only an 81.

The other end of things has Terrell Owens who needs to drop further, the one point he lost in the last update was not nearly enough. A receiver with a 90 rating should have more than eight catches through four games. LaDainian Tomlinson has been slowly inching downwards since the middle of last year but there seems to be some hesitance to slide him to where he really should be. On the season he has 20 carries for 70 yards yet is still rated a 92.  Also the whole Packers offensive line is in shambles so there could be some changes made there.

The moves that occurred too late to make the last update such as Chad Pennington to the IR and Jeff Garcia having been cut will be included this week. Feel free to leave your thoughts on what players should see an upgrade or downgrade in the upcoming roster update.

    Mike Sims-Walker definitely needs a bump. Dumervil needs to be mid 80's. Janikowski needs an accuracy bump. Brett Favre needs to be at least an 85. The Raiders O-line needs a drop. I watched the entire game and the loss was on them as well as the defense giving up 6 big plays.

    He didn't play that well, but Tampa's Josh Johnson is now a starting QB in the NFL, so he needs a big bump.

    All I ask if for when I am returning kicks against the CPU in Franchise mode, that my team does not knock down every member from the kicking team and allow me to return 5 kicks a game. Thanks.

    Flacco remain the same

    Ray Rice should get a slight boost to 89OVR, 90SPD, the guy has been slippery & averaging huge yards.

    Clayton two point drop

    Oher two point boost

    Aaron Rodgers needs to be improved as far as throwing on the run and his scrambling abilities. Coming into the week, he was leading all QBs in rushing, and he's been making some great throws on the run (which he's been needing to do since he has no time at all to throw).

    derick cox needs a bump this week
    also lets get garrard and sims walker up significantly

    Hakeem Nicks is still extremely underrated. Guy just got back on the field after being injured in Week 1 and he takes a screen pass over 50 yards for a TD — his acceleration needs to go up.

    Corey Webster continues to be the most underrated CB in Madden after shutting down yet another #1 WR in Dwayne Bowe. Webster and Revis are showing why they deserve to be rated up there with the CB from Oakland

    The entire Saints defense as well as they're Offensive Line Need a Serious Improvement. O-line leading the league in sacks allowed as well as second in rushing yards. They're rushing and pass protection needs some serious increases. Also this is not the 08 Saints Defense and they have made that perfectly clear. You can not shut down any team in madden with the current Saints defense and they have held two teams in a row to 10 points. Pass protection, Catching Ability, and Rushing Ability should be increased across the board. The Saints are a top tier team in the NFL right now and should perform as such in Madden!

    IMO sidney rice is still under rated on madden, he was a second round pick 2 years ago and is getting a bad rating because he had a lingering knee injury all last season.

    Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams boost up, Dolphins O-Line Run Blocking up, Chad Henne up, he's currently a 67, Cameron Wake had a huge game with 3 sacks, Taylor had 2.5, they both can use a boost, atleast Wake, Dolphins continue to stuff the run, but the ratings show a weak front 7, Sean Smith shut down TO, boost him and Vontae Davis, pick six

    First, let me say that I am all for the suggested ratings boosts of Steve Smith, Dumervil, and some of the others that were mentioned. However, what I am not in favor of is completely jumping the gun and reducing the ratings of some high profile stars before we even approach the midway point of the NFL season. For instance, T.O is not the only "superstar" WR that is not having a season that is on par with his Madden rating. Larry Fitz is not having a very Larry type year either, yet he is still rated a 99 overall and should be. Just because someone had a rough couple of weeks should not diminish all that they have done to get those high ratings in the first place. All I'm saying is give it some time, and maybe they'll bounce back. If not, then drop the ratings but please don't do it after week four. I will stop playing the game if I have to continue to deal with this constant fluctuation of player ratings based on a one or two week performance. Get real Pasta and EA.

    Johnny Knox needs another upgrade. The kid is explosive. Adawale ogunleye needs his block shedding increased majorly 4.5 sacks already! The entire bears dline need upgraded. Also the secondary could use a small boost. And jamar Williams is way to low at 57.

    I also don't agree with that. Tony Romo missed 3 games last season, in which almost every Cowboy skill player saw a decrease in production. The Bills fired their offensive coordinator one week prior to the season starting, Trent Edwards has been abysmal and so has their offensive line. Also of note is the fact that Lee Evans has done absolutely nothing on the other side either, which is a testament to the Bills struggles not necessarily their own. Just throwing that out there. LT is a little bit of a different story because he has been injured and doesn't play well coming off an injury. All I'm saying is don't jump the gun, we are only four weeks into the season. If at week 10 T.O has 30 rec and LT has 300 yards rushing then the decrease is justified. Last thing to consider is that T.O usually starts slow each year and then increases production toward the end. Just my opinion but thanks for responding.

    BTW 2K10 is better than live again this year. :P

    Brees should take a lill hit, two weeks in a row he's been subpar, Sharper needs and increase in Play Recognition, Hands, Zone Coverage…

    Stafford needs an upgrade, so does Josh Johnson

  • dose of REALITY

    really? so you think that larry fitzgerald playing "lights out" for the last 7 games of last year (including the playoffs) earns hi a 99; but sucking 4 games in a row doesnt make him anything less than perfect? because that is what a 99 is, a perfect rating, you have to be playing lights out consistently to be a 99 Fitz is not. there are about 3 or 4 WR that are better than he is and about 10 that are playing better than he is at the moment.

    I know its the rams but how about that 49er defense !!! Even the previous week vs the viking they kept ap in check. But on another note the chargers defense sucks as usual but some how madden always makes them so good. Merrimen is a beast and to be honest what has he done since being suspended or after that monster season. Same goes for the rest of there defense. Jamarcus Rusell Shouldnt be rated no higher then a 65. is not only the worst starting qb in the league but he is probably one of the worst out of all second string qbs also. To bronco fans im sorry i guess you guys are better then a i thought altough j.garrett is the dumbest coordinator i know. 42 pass attempts when you have one of t he best run games in the league.

    lol @does of REALITY. Please stop the maddness. This is the NFL, even the G.O.A.T Jerry Rice has had stretches of poor performances or low production. That is the nature of the NFL, not a discredit to any WR that has a slip in production over just a few weeks of time. It happens to everybody, but the greats will still finish with over 80 rec and 1000+ yards. That's why I agree with the player increases more so than the decreases. Now if a player only had one stellar year and is tanking for the first half of the very following year then I am all in favor of reducing his rating.

    also, I think Jason Campbells accuracy and throwing power needs to be raised. His awareness should drop but if you go back over the last 2years he ranks in the top 5 in the amount of interceptions per pass attempts. I think he still looks lost sometimes but when he lets it go in short to medium range It is almost always on the mark and comin out FAST. Also please get my Skins roster right Alridge is a running back and Byron Westbrook hasn't been on the roster since the game has come out.

    Also, I thought you would have raised London Flethcers Tackling already since he's had over 100 tackles a season since always. And his hitting power should have gone waaaaay up after that lick he put on Brandon Jacobs in week 1. Also D-halls AWR has been too low since the beginning. Yes he guesses alot, and guesses wrong but that should affect his man coverage skills not his
    AWR. I've seen this guy catch or react to balls that he shouldn't have even been able to see in time to make a play on the ball.

    JaMarcus Russell should have his ranking tank. There is no way that any of the backups on the Cardinals [Leinart is a good backup who would be a starter if Warner wasn't here, Pierre blows] should have lower rankings than him.

    Steelers played well this week. Most notably Rashard Mendenhall and Chris Kemoeatu of the offensive line. Rashard Mendenhall should see a slight increase to 80 by upgrading some of his Trucking rating. Kemoeatu should bump up to 82 or so. Give him a higher run block rating because he opened up amazing holes that night. Hines Ward is too good in real life to be considered 88 OVR in Madden. He may not be as fast as a receiver usually is but give the man a bit more respect than that. He still pulls off 100+ yard games. Also, Heath Miller hauled in two TD passes. Give him a slight boost as well. Thanks!

    I would hardly say Brees has been subpar…. more like his receivers aren't getting as open as more defenders drop back into coverage to protect against him…. allowing the run game to open up. I'm all about keeping these rosters up to date based on current performance but constantly messing with drew's numbers is rediculous we all know he is the best qb in the nfl next to peyton manning. Not to mention if you are gonna dock someone for two weeks of play how bout boosting NO defense for four weeks of exceptional work. Or the O-line for having the number 2 rushing game in the nation!!! As I said before these are not the same Saints from last year …. they need a huge boost!

    I would hardly say Brees has been subpar…. more like his receivers aren't getting as open as more defenders drop back into coverage to protect against him…. allowing the run game to open up. I'm all about keeping these rosters up to date based on current performance but constantly messing with drew's numbers is rediculous we all know he is the best qb in the nfl next to peyton manning. Not to mention if you are gonna dock someone for two weeks of play how bout boosting NO defense for four weeks of exceptional work. Or the O-line for having the number 2 rushing game in the nation!!! As I said before these are not the same Saints from last year …. they need a huge boost!

    TO doesn't run any slower or isn't any less physical because the Bills line won't give Edwards time to throw the ball.

    The rosters should reflect the real life players, not replicate the real-life results. It's not Owens fault he's stuck with a shitty offensive situation, you know?

    Totally in favor of online roster bumps for guys like S. Smith, Dumervil, etc, but I think it's silly to think every other week you should look at stats and adjust the game's roster accordingly based on single game outputs.

    yeah but you are missing the point that FITZ should not have been a 99 to begin with. in the 90's certainly but a 99 a perfect reciever he is not. His route running leaves something to be desired. and he is RELATIVELY slow compared to the other wideouts to be considered the best and my #1 pet peeve with FITZ and AP for that matter is BLOCKING. AP is the best RUNNER but not the best running back. and FITZ is the highest jumper and has hands like a steel trap witch would make him one of the best deep ball CATCHERS but not the best WR. that would be Andre Johnson.

    I agree wholeheartedly. ratings should reperensent player capability not performance. Unless a few games of performance reflect a in/decrease in capability. I think it is totally obvious that the guy who has the final sayso on these updates is a Cowboy Fan.

  • 3rdandshort

    Chad Henne's stats are way to low, he is very capable and proved it with a high QB rating against the Bills on his first start…he's 68- mid 70's would be more accurate. Miami's R&R express is steam rolling teams on the ground, so boost the O-line and the running back tandem. Miami's secondary shut down Evans and Owens two of the better recievers in the league and their run stuffing is amongst the best in the NFL now.

    I know Miami is only 1-3 but could of easily won 2 of those 3 losses. Miami has the toughest schedule in the NFL. So if the they are number one in running against quality opponents, it should be reflected in the game.

    I don't agree with some overrated teams in the game, for instance if you're going to boost SF well they are beating up on very poor teams…they're not as good as their record says they are. The inverse is true with the Dolphins. Think about it.

  • Bee Rockwell

    In SO MANY cases, I think plenty of players should be adjusted. Guys who have breakout seasons should have that reflected, especially when they're severely underrated to start with.

    But there's so many reasons why a certain player produces or doesn't each week – scheme, opposing injuries, depth chart, turnovers, play-calling, etc. And to say that a receiver didn't catch enough passes and should be downgraded simplifies things way too much and makes it less fun.

    The Steelers started 1-2. Should Tomlin have had his coaching rating adjusted?

    Of course not.

  • Rude Boy

    49ers fan here,

    I don't want anything crazy just all around catching boost for the defense 49ers have had a INT in every game if you use the 49ers on Madden you'd think their hands are made or stone ESPECIALLY Patrick Willis!!! As I said last week Michael Turner has a 98 carry rating which he earned by having 0 fumbles last year he's already had 2 this year so thats gotta change. The Ravens defense isn't the machine it once was they allow WAY too many points be rated so high. M. Clayton of the Ravens needs a drop in catching, The Saints D needs a definite boost I was skeptical about how good they were but they are for real. The Colts receivers and O-line need a boost they're a solid group. The Broncos D is for real their ratings need to reflect so the Cowboys on the other hand are trash. Barber needs a INJ decrease along with Jones & Roy Williams he's always getting hurt dating back to his time with the Lions. Cowboys O-line is weak in pass protection but Choice should get a boost for solid play

    Ricky Williams and Cameron Wake are in for a good boost. Ronnie Brown deserves a little boost too, as well as the Dolphins rush O-Line. Henne had a solid game for his first start, he could get a little boost too. He should definitely be rated better than JaMarcus Russel. Vontae Davis and Shaun Smith dont deserve huge upgrades, but they do deserve a point or two each. Patrick Cobbs needs a little boost also.

    the entire 49ers team including trainers, coaches and towel boys needs a significant improvement.

  • http://intensedebate.com/people/Mond Mond

    Shawntae Spencer of the 49ers deserves a bump, he has been the 49ers best man coverage corner…QB's have barely looked to his side of the field this season. I know he went up last update but he should go up a little more.

    Vernon Davis showed his massive improvement as a receiver again this week with a great catch of a ball that was thrown high and to the right that he snagged right out of the air and another TD catch in traffic, his catching should go up.

    Chilo Rachal just went up, but he actually should have gone down. His run blocking has been very poor as he's had quite a few whiffs that are really hurting the run game. He's young and raw and could become a great mauling guard, but the bump was undeserved.

    Justin Smith should probably go up again. He has been dominant in the run game and has constantly got after the QB. I'm pretty sure he leads the league in hurrying the QB by a wide margin. He is having a pro bowl caliber year and might be the best 3-4 DE in the game right now.

    I would completely agree with you if they beat teams like Atlanta, Indy, and Greenbay. SF have the easiest schedule in the league. I agree they have been playing well. But how does EA account for beating up on scrub teams? The only good team SF have played so far, they lost against- Vikes.

    I do agree than the 9ners have improved, but boosting them to playoff team stats I don't think is the answer…and no I dont think you are saying that.

    DOLFAN HERE-

    THE FINS after 4 weeks have the number one rushing offense in the nfl. Wildcat or not we are doing something right. Our RBS Ronnie and Ricky need a boost.Personally i think Ricky Needs a SPEED BOOST..I DONT SEE HIM BEING THAT SLOW LIKE THE GAME HAS HIM, and Ronnie should see a 2 point boost. Also our fullback is one of the most reliable ones when it comes to 4th down conversion, which we are also number one in.POLITE should see a boost in overall as well as carrying and blokcing. Number one rushing offense should see a boost in the OLINE RUSHING…Chad Henne is now the starting qb and he had one solid game, as a starter should see a bit of an increase. AND last but not least we have the number 3 rushing defense in the league. YES NUMBER 3 meaning our d line should see a increase in tackling stufing the run gang tackler w.e you want it to be…defenetly.

    AND IMO if terrence newman who in the game vs the panthers caught a pick for 6 that wasnt even him doing the play it was just delhomme throwinf it to him then so should vontae davis who actually made the play and did not get lucky to have the ball jump to his hands… yeahh i think so

    People are getting carried away with the Saints. Uhm who have the Saints played? Let's see…Detroit, Buffalo, and a injury prone Philly? Really and now they are the toast of the town?

    The Dolphins have struggled to put up TD's and they blew out the Bills more so that the Saints power house offense did. Beating Detroit doesn't count. And then you have Philly without their starting QB and and injured RB.

    I think we should take a wait and see attitude before you improve the overall team stat because of a skewed record. The reality is…you never know what teams are truely capable of untill all the games are played. I know of team starting out 0-5 and still make the playoffs and win a playoff game. So people jumping on 4-0 bandwagons should be reminded of this. It's way to early.

    People jump on the ESPN press slant, instead of just really looking for themselves. Hell some of these posts are regurgitated coments from the ESPN NFL live segments.

    90 OVR would be most fair. He is still quite accurate, can throw on the run and has a cannon for an arm still. All this at nearly 40 yrs old is insane. He deserves a big bump.

    Ratings dont need to be adjusted but two times a year. At the midpoint of the season and at the end of the season, thats it, period. This weekly ratings updating is absolutely stupid. Penalizing Terrell Owens because he has a terrible QB is borderline idiotic. You can rest assured he will have a big game this year and then you will just be calling for yet another ratings change, see how thats stupid? 2 ratings update is all thats needed.

    Actually its not players have good games and bad players fluctuate just like the ratings are doing the weekly updates is great its the execution that sucks. Something similar to Live365 would be perfect users that complain about some players not being on a team that problem would be fixed. TO isn't the same yeah his QB isn't that good but when the ball is thrown to him he's dropping those balls just like he was doing with the Cowboys as a matter of fact he did the same with the 49ers anyone remember that playoff game when he FINALLY caught the game winning TD pass but ALL game he was dropping the rock its who he is.

  • Sean

    I know these guys have both gotten better already in the ratings this year, but I think Charles Grant and Darren Sharper should both be bumped up, Grant a bit more severely. Sharper has been playing one of the best seasons of his career this year, and has been one of the best DB's so far. Grant got a boost from 77 to 80 after his Week 2 2 sack performance, and after repeating that against the Jets I think he should be an 82-83. Also a guy who hasn't been upgraded this year so far, Jabari Greer. Been an absolute stud in coverage and should atleast go from his current 77 to an 80.

    Despite the loss to the Saints I think the Jets prooved beyond a shadow of a doubt how potent their DEFENSE really is. Holding the mighty Drew Breeze to zero TD passes and much lower than usual passing yds is a substantial feet.

    I could live with a minor decrease to Mark Sanchez. He did play a horibble game. I would cut his last increase in half and see how he performs Monday night against the Dolphins.

    The saints D across the board should see a boost as well.

    While I agree that TO may not be a 90+ WR anymore, you can hardly fault him stats wise in Madden. Trent Edwards isn't getting him the ball which is the case everywhere TO goes. All the teams TO plays for aren't WR focused teams. With the exception of the Colts and perhaps the Saints Most teams arent that Pass Happy.

    Look at the Patriots. How often to do you see Randy Moss getting alot of Passes. The problem with TO is that he is afraid to work the Middle. TO just wants the deep ball and isn't willing to work anymore. That is why Tightends and players like Wes Welker are the prime targets of QB's today. If you want the ball then you have to work the middle and take your punishment like a man.

    The problem with EA's ratings process is that they rely to much on what I call the 3 P's. Performance, Perception, and Potential. Players like LT continue to be over rated due largely to there Past performance and the publics general perception of him. A rookie for example is largely rated based upon his potential and the perception the public has of that athlete coming into the league. My contention is that player ratings should be based solely upon performance and performance alone. A players initial stats should always be a compilation of his entire career with any upward or downward trends affecting his stat attribute accordingly. Then once a baseline is establshed the rest of the stats should be based soley upon his actual performance and should be quantified in someway ie: 1 fumble = 1pt decrease in carry, 5 drops= 1pt dec in catch…….. etc

    It doesn't matter what his overall is… he needs a boost in his accuracy ratings.

    He's ranked like 50th in short accuracy of all NFL QB's with 77(ish)

    The Saints are insanely good. Not looking forward to my Giants having to play them in two weeks :( . Their OL definitely needs a big boost, because it's very underrated (overall). Here's a pretty insane stat…

    Dating back to the first game of the 2008-2009 season, in 764 pass attempts by Drew Brees, he's only been sacked 17 times. Give that OL some respect Donny Moore.

    can i get anthony alridge back on the redskins? he was there for a week and since EA hates on the skins they discovered he could be a potent offensive weapon for me and decided to punish me by taking him away…he is most definetely on the roster, if your not too busy pasta can you ask donny why they felt the need to remove an active roster player they had the previous week?

  • DirtyBird

    agreed, websters rating is if anything to high!!! the d line is the only reason for his sucess. agree on the fact tht the Cheifs r not a serious offence. Giants have yet to face a serious team yet if u count out cowboys who arent even tht great. Giants r good im not gonna lie but relax. Good game vs Saints next!

    felix jones awareness needs to increase alot. he sees what defenders are doin befor they know what they r doin. barbers speed needs to atleast be 88-90. and roy williams is a little bit better than an 84 rating. maybe an 86 87. romos accuracy needs to decrease a little bit…..way to many interceptions.

    Pasta can you him tell them to switch Quincy Black to LOLB and Geno Hays to ROLB please. It's been wrong since the first update. Tell them to give them a boost while they are at it. Also can you explain why QB Josh Johnson got so little boost when he was promoted to starter and what about QB Josh Freeman. When the season began Freem was third string QB with a 74 rating. Leftwich has a bad game and is demoted to third sting by the team and Freeman is promoted to second string but his rating goes to 70. What since does that make? I might understand him staying the same being that he has not played but a drop? CB Aqib Talib has been dropping every week but now that he has a three pick game he at least needs to restored to his original 84. CB Ronde Barber needs some of his tackle back.

    Imagine a child who's favorite team is the bears and his favorite player happpens to be Brian Urlacher. Maybe he has even had the luxury of personally meeting him and has developed quite the admiration for him. Most importantly, this child has finally convinced his parents into purchasing a ps3 or 360 for him along with a brand new copy of madden because he has been longing to play madden online for the first time with his fave team and player. Im sure you see where I am going with this? If I cant play with my favorite players than why would I even bother playing this game!

    Josh Johnson needs a boost bigtime. I think in speed, acceleration, and short/medium accuracy. He had first game jitters he's gonna be fine.
    Barber and Talib deserve a boost. Same with Geno Hayes. He was all over the field Sunday.
    Gaines Adams also had a pretty good game, so maybe a point up?

    This is a video game and if there are going to be roster updates something's going to have to change. Madden isn't sophisticated enough to account for things like a coach blowing a gameplan or players adjusting to a new scheme, so if a player isn't producing the only way to represent that is with a ratings drop. What's the point of even having roster updates at all if they're going to wait until the 10th week of the season to change anything?

    For people who're playing online the idea is to recreate the NFL week that just went by, so players that're on a hot streak or a slump will be represented accordingly. That wouldn't be possible if they insisted on seeing half a season's worth of production before changing anything.

    Now the real question is why the biggest football game on the planet, the one with an exclusive license with the NFL, still isn't able to account for some of the things I mentioned after two decades on the market…

  • funbob

    You're undermining your own point though. If a player is slumping in real life and the goal is to represent that in-game, why shouldn't the player's ratings be dropped during the period in which he's underperforming? If a player goes into a slump then comes back out of it the ratings can be increased again, that's one thing that becomes possible with weekly updates. If you say "well we have to wait and see" and what happens is that the player picks his play up so you don't drop his ratings then in the game world that period of low performance never happened.

    Also not sure why you think it makes more sense to increase players right away. If doing good for 4 games gets you an increase why shouldn't the opposite apply? How do we know that the players getting increases aren't just overachieving temporarily? Shouldn't we wait and see on them as well?

    Russell's problem isn't that he's an inaccurate QB. It's not widely-known but he actually has a rare neurological disorder that makes him think all his receivers are eight feet tall. I hear the Raiders keep him starting 'cuz they're worried about getting sued for discrimination.

    This is what I would suggest and what EA should concern about:
    Hines Ward OVR 88 to 90 – he leads receiving yards for his team; a tough player

    Antwan Odom OVR 85 to 86 – A beast who leads in sack with Elvis Dumervil
    Brett Favre OVR 82 to 86 – Just look at his performance
    Rashard Mendenhall OVR up to 80 – just look at his performance
    Kyle Orton OVR 76 to 80 – He's been leading Broncos undefeated so far
    Shaun Hill OVR 75 to 78 – He's been careful with balls

    Obvious Boosts

    Aqib Talib – Second in the NFL in interceptions, great man coverage corner

    Geno Hayes – The guy flies to the ball. He is super fast and needs a boost

    Barrett Ruud – He has been outstanding each year but of course EA doesn't recognize his talent because he is on the Buccaneers. The guy deserves a 90+ rating at least. (2nd in the NFL in tackles)

    Elvis Dumervil – The guy has been a dominate force on the edge. He deserves a high 80 rating

    Darren Sharper – Leads the league in interceptions and definitely should be a 90+ rating with his play so far this season.

    Brett Favre – What can I say? 90 rating exactly should be good.

    Rashard Mendenhall – Great game against the Chargers

    Jared Allen- Boost up to 99 overall. The guy is dominate end in the NFL.

    Veron Davis- Absolute Steller play the last few weeks.

    You don't know he's going to have a big year. He could go out there and continue to do nothing. What's stupid would be leaving him at 91 for half a season if he keeps up the vanishing act. What's stupid is a situation like LT still being a top running back in-game despite that his career as a starter is essentially over. If TO starts the season out slow and then picks up steam down the stretch it makes perfect sense for his ratings to change. You say TO's certain to have a good year even though the same "terrible QB" will be throwing him the ball for the next 12 games? What kind of sense does that make?

    2. Jason Taylor also played well had 2.5 sacks, he deserves a little boost.
    3.Sean Smith and Vonte Davis are playing very well as rookies. they completely shut down lee evans and T.O, 2 big time recievers…
    4. Ricky williams deserves a speed and break tackle boost. He has been very solid the whole year and he always bounces outside so he desrves some more speed.
    5. Chad Henne should definately get somewhat of a boost. I think in accuracy.. He handled the game very well and had a beautiful TD to harltine in the back of the end zone.
    6. Dolphins Defense in general have been playing very solid lately and their run defense has been lights out!

    In both cases for T.O., this year and last, he is simply not being thrown to. That's doesn't mean that he is not open either, it's just that some teams think that he makes a great decoy. Also every reciever's stats are linked to their QB's stats. If Fitz 99 and he has a QB that's 77. He might as well be a 89 and the QB a 83. Romo got T.O. the ball early in the season but T.O.'s mouth finally got to Romo and he cut him off. Buffalo's QB (can't remember his name even though we played them already this year) is not on Romo's level.

    yeah I would agree even if your not talking about rating s in Madden but he shouldnt be that much faster.

    That's not what the updates are meant for, I mean there are a ton of LB's that become 90's on the D-line by converting. Besides, these updates mean more for the online community.

    ummmm no our conrers should not get a boost…and im a dolphins fan i agree with everything except for what u sad about our secondary…maybe will allen but not davis or sean…they have not being cocnsistent enough and if we did keep them on check was because of the pass rush and that fact that trent edwards and the wole team coudl not keep up with our defense..except for the pick for 6 davis and sean smith still got blown and didnt make plays where they should have…and yes i am a dolphins fan but a real one who states the fact..like i said everything else i agree except for the corners

    i think larry fitzgerald is overrated at 99, but not because of the slow start this season. everbody is calling him the best receiver in the game just because he had an incredible 7 game stretch in last years play offs. i think larry is top 5 but definately not 99 overal. i also think your jumping the gun if you want to lower LT below a 90, befor watching the steelers game i would have said he deserved a high 80's at best(and im a chargers fan) but he looked really good in that game even though he didn't gain many yards

    im a chargers fan so im a little biased but last year their d sucked cause they lost merriman and their d coordinator was a fag who had apperently never heard of rushing the passer with more then 3 people. and this year they lost 350 pound jamal williams which is why they are gunna suck against the run all year

    Lower ratings for KVB, KBulluck, JGage, KCollins, and drop NHarpers man and press ratings

    Not to sound like a broken record but the 9ers defense needs a boost in tackling and just about every other category. Shaun Hill needs a boost. It's crazy that you guys have all these other crappy QB's rated better than him. Last and probably least add Crabtree back.

    Anyone who thinks Webster is overrated in Madden hasn't been watching him for the past two years. He started his breakout during the 2007 super bowl run. And has been dominant through all of 2008 and 4 games in 2009. Check out football outsiders stats on CBs. The only starting CB who gets targeted less than Webster is ASO and #1 WRs on opposing offenses don't have big games.

    Just because brees hasnt thrown a td doesnt mean he's been subpar. He has played smart and made the throws and hasnt turned it over. And the saints haven't needed him..wow never thought I would type that…so he doesn't need a drop IMO. He is the second best qb in the league. Like your other suggestions

    As for my rating suggestions

    entire saints defense, particularly Greer speed bump, Harper leads the team in tackles, and he isnt 75 speed, shanle and fujita are playing lights out, charles grant is playing better than he has in years, ellis is a monster at DT

    Saints o-line-boost every rating. They are better than the Patriots o-line. Period
    Recievers ratings, catching, CIT, and Colston and meachem need more speed, Colston to 85 and meachem to 92-93. He is a burner

    Actually Im on the saints because I was born a saints fan. Now lets look at the teams the saints played

    Lions-Better than people give them credit for, granted they suck, but they are getting better
    Eagles-Fourth best team in the NFC. The saints would have beaten them even with Mcnabb, Brees and the offense shredded them.
    Bills-This same team took NE to the woodshed for 56 mins on opening weekend, and the saints held TO to no catches
    Jets- If your gonna accuse people jumping on the ESPN slant, then this is your team. They beat the pats soundly, and the saints beat them at their own game, defense. The saints made Sanchez look like a rookie.

    The reason people are so high on the saints is because for once they actually have a defense to go along with the offense.

    And what team started 0-5 and made the playoffs?

    Guess the steelers o line could be put back to where they were before all the whiners motioned for them to take a hit. Mendenhall did an excellent job hitting all the holes, and it was nice seeing the line knocking back the d line, and linebackers, creating big holes. Will trade willie parker points for mendenhall points. Still want to see polamalus catch rating moved to 85 like ed reeds as well.

    I don't agree with Brees needing to be dropped, he's still the talent that he was in week 1 however different gameplans call for him to do different things. The plan was not to turn the ball over in weeks 3-4 and he did that. Teams played the pass and wanted us to win running, so the saints were able to do so.

    Does that make Drew Subpar….say it if you want but the saints are 4-0 and did what Brady wasn't able to do his first go around and beat the jets.

    Darren Sharper…….biggggggg upgrade as i said already he has nearly the same amount of catches as TO with more TOUCHDOWNS.
    Jabari Greer needs a boost, as well as Tracy Porter getting a slight boost. Have you seen the secondary give up many big plays outside of Garbage time plays????? We haven't allowed a 100yd receiver yet.
    Sedrick Ellis is a Grown man in the middle that constantly has to meet double teams and we've still been able to push the pocket and get sacks, slight upgrade.

    Our LB's are playing just as good and i think Shanle, and Fujita are worth more than 60's in madden. Don't care what you bump them too or what you increase….they aren't playing like 60's. Shanle has 2 int's and a host of tackles why is he a 68 again??

    Oh and Roman Harper should get a slight boost, as well as his hit power rating should increase and tackling….he's not the most speedy person but he makes a lot of tackles and whiffs on very few

    Listen, I don't really have a gripe with the player ratings after all it's a game and they are simply NOT going to get it right, ever. But what I do have a problem with is the latest patch, which undoubtedby has screwed up kick returns to the tune that I've been getting 1-2 per game. One particular game I've actually had three in one game.

    This has got to be fixed as it's running the online experience for my league. Everyone is getting returns for TD's and it's just unbelievable that a patch can completely change the kicking game.

    FIX IT EA!

    Brees is ridiculously good. No way he needs a decrease. The Saints team in general are contenders this year, and they're proving it every week. Last year they had to rely on Brees' arm and the passing game to be competitive, and that's just no longer the case. They are on the rise, as is the Jets. Boy did they get a steal in Sanchez.

    Brees is ridiculously good. No way he needs a decrease. The Saints team in general are contenders this year, and they're proving it every week. Last year they had to rely on Brees' arm and the passing game to be competitive, and that's just no longer the case. They are on the rise, as is the Jets. Boy did they get a steal in Sanchez.

    eli should be a 93 or so

    and why is it that even when you use the truck stick with brandon jacobs that any db can just go for your legs and youre tackled?

    truck stick = going low……ea needs to account for this as the ‘elusive backs’ have been better than power backs for 2 or 3 maddens now

    The entire Broncos' D needs a bump, being #1 pts. and 2 in yards. Orton, B-Marsh, and Clady(how is he not the best LT in the game yet?) on O. If Denver is not mid 80's, but the Titans are still in the 80's, Donny Moore should lose his job. LT drop, LJ drop, McFadden drop, Sproles(running attributes) drop, Russell drop, BUF drop, SD drop. San Diego should be low 80's, at most, with a massive defensive drop.

    Yea, Smith's route running and catch should be way higher. They should add a stat just for him too… 3rd Down Catching. Bradshaw should also be rated at least a low 80. He is a monster when he gets on the field. Lastly, Eli should be around a 93-94. There are few QBs playing better than him right now.

    I wish we kept stuckey though, Here comes Kenwin Cummings probably a person I told EA to put in the game because I knew he would probably get his chance this year.

    Maybe the two draft picks (3rd and 5th rounders) were a little much together, but outside of that it's Stuckey and some special teamer. I think it was one helluva trade. The only thing that would tip that scale is how the Browns use those two picks.

  • Jasonh_86

    For the Pats:

    Brandon McGowan – Has seemingly taken the starting role from James Sanders as a starting safety. So, he needs to be bumped up to at least an average starting safety rating for now; then he can be adjusted from here on out accordingly.

    Joey Galloway – Was a "healthy scratch" sunday against Baltimore, most likely due to his inability to be effective in the offense and his dropped passes. I think his route running needs a drop and catch rating needs a big drop.

    Gary Guyton – Has filled in admirably for Mayo the past few weeks; Might not be able to shed blocks as well as most starting MLB's, but he is a very smart player (Belichick has given him play-calling duties). He'll probably shift to OLB in 4-3 schemes and stay at #2 MLB in the 3-4 when Mayo gets back. I think he needs a boost in awareness and tackling/strength.

    For the Pats (continued):

    Mike Wright – He's been a force filling in as a DT in the 4-3 scheme; he's been getting consistent pressure on QB's since he's been put into duty. Needs an increase in Block Shedding and Pursuit.

    Brandon Meriweather – He was all over the field sunday and has made quite a few great plays so far in this short season; should be given a boost in Awareness and Zone Coverage.

    Darius Butler – He has made some good plays this season as well for the revamped NE secondary. He could use a boost in awareness and in his coverage ratings.

  • Jasonh_86

    For the Pats (continued):

    Fred Taylor – Has run hard in each game and has looked great against Falcons and solid against the Ravens. Needs a good boost overall (trucking, break tackle, speed, acceleration)

    Laurence Maroney – All he does is "dance" behind the line of scrimmage and won't hit the hole. The guy is choking it out when given the ball to run. However, he's been better in picking up the blitz and catching the ball out of the backfield. He's got really good open-field speed, so I think his speed should go up (to a 90, no higher and no lower).

    Sammy Morris – He's run hard so far, getting chunks of yards against tough defensive schemes. Made some good, hard runs against the Ravens and hasn't been too bad at FB either. IF he stays at FB, increase his blocking and his trucking. IF he stays at RB, increase strength and acceleration.

    ok a bronco fan here and here is who i think should be bumped up.
    Kyle Orton to atleast an 81 the guy has not thrown a interception so his awareness should get pretty heavily bumped, and the offensive line should see an increase of 1 to all starting OL, also Elvis Dumervil should be atleast an 88 ovr back to where he was when he was an end in 09 madden, and Brian Dawkins 92ovr and Champ Bailey 97ovr and that should do for the team for this week but as long as they keep bringing in wins they need to be acknowledged.
    Other notibles are Steve Smith of NYG and Darren Sharper of the NO Saints need some serious upgrades.

  • Tyler

    I don't understand how Andre cannot have 99 hands, better jump and spec catch. People can use whatever cliche you want to describe his hands, but plain and simple, Dre' takes the ball from the sky. No matter where it is or how it was thrown, he takes it because he wants it. Plus, he had the most receptions and yards of any receiver last year, yet Fitzgerald started the game higher than him because Fitz did all that stuff in the postseason. And he's already putting up better stats than Fitz but neither have changed.

    DeMeco is a stud and I think should be better in pass coverage than he is. Cushing should be getting a good raise like you said. Now if only Dunta would remember how to play corner this defense could be good again.

They don't see all the errors like you do because you're probably a douchebag who wants the game to be exactly like real life (listen, get off the couch and experience real life why dontcha), and you think they're off their meds? What a valid assumption! Considered suicide lately? Do it

    if you want to measure your D by meaningless yards allowed, that's fine. Denver only allows 7.6 more per game anyways. What really matters is the 26 TOTAL points allowed by Denver, compared to the Giants 64.

    I think the steelers offensive line should have their points back. Did you see the chargers nose tackle, and linebackers getting shoved out of the way for rashard Mendenhall. 165 yards and offensive player of the week not to shabby. Also When troy gets a pick in week six, I would like his catch rating moved up to 85 like the top safetys in the league. Still cant believe he started the season at a 35. Geeze

    No player should go down due to injury. LT isnt the top back in the league, but SD hasnt even attempted to establish a running game yet in any game. What I dont understand is how a RB can go down for not getting any blocking and then Sproles goes up without being a competent runner. His rushing stats this season are pathetic. He should also go down, along with the SD olines rbk which has been non existent so far this year

    SO becuase NO figured out how to win without passing 60 times a game now Brees should go down? That is rediculous. Defenses are trying to take away the deep ball by keeping two safeties over the top. Anytime you see two high safeties it means you have a 7 man box, or less and its time to run the ball. NO has been reacting to defenses adjustments to there game. The same thing is happening in MIN. Should Peterson go down becuase he is facing an 8 or 9 man box so the team opted to pass more than run the last two weeks. It is simply a teams way of forcing other teams to play them honestly. Its scheme not stats. The only people worried about stats in the NFL are the fantasy guys and the madden players who want so and so to go up becuase of x td catches.

    49ers defense is legit, but they stacked the box all day against All Day. The vikes did the right thing by taking advantage of what the 49ers game them rather than just running AP into a huge wall of people. The 49ers dared the vikes to win passing the same way the packers did. 4-0 baby. From now on you will see much more balance from Minnesota since they have estanlished both modes of attacking an offense. Same with the Saints. Teams have dared them to win running the ball by using nickle pachages and two high safeties. Now teams will have to play them more balanced also. This is how football goes everyseason.

    If Steve Smith (NY) is not over a 88 Overall Rating, I think I might kill someone. The guy leads the NFL in both Receiving Yards and Touchdowns. Bradshaw should get another boost, and Jacobs should get a decrease. Manningham should get a boost, and Hixon should go down. I personally feel Nicks is fine where he is. I think Eli should get a small boost into the 90's as well. He is really proving he's worth the money.

    Benson should get a boost, as looked good every game so far this year. Coles should go down, not doing much at all this year.

  • dose of REALITY

    I agree 100% alot of people think that the ratings represent performance; when the truth is they are meant to reflect ability. If a player that was great last year or in years past is having a slump (and by slump i mean 3-5 bad games in a row) then the possibility that they are losing a step has to be considered. Reality is that great players became great and earned those high ratings by performing well CONSISTENTLY. So, if those same players are perfoming poorly CONSISTENTLY; I don't think it is unreasonable to drop their ratings (abilitites).

    LT is a perfect example. He had a poor season last year, and is having another bad season this year so far, and people still think he should be in the 90's because he was the rushing champ 3 or 4 years ago. It's rediculous.
