Week Six Ratings Change Suggestions

Jones-Drew doesn't deserve to have his ratings drop.

He has only had three good games… but here's what you have to understand: in those other three games the Jaguars have played in so far, the score was at one point or another +/- 28 points. In the Titans game the Jags were up so much Maurice just rode the bench along with other key starters. In the Arizona game the team was down by as much as 28. And in the game against Seattle, the team lost 41-0. Why would you drop Maurice's ratings based on those three games, when he never got an opportunity to carry the ball because of the extremely lopsided scores? Judge him by the games where he gets the football, not by the games where he doesn't.

Not only does he have those three games where he didn't get a chance to even run because of the score, but those games also hurt his YPC more than they should. This is because when you are up or down by such extreme amounts of points, the only time MJD is going to be called on is to kill the clock, score a touchdown or get a short-yardage conversion. These are all great things for your football team, but when you're only getting 7 carries and half of them are 2 yard first downs or 1 yard touchdowns or clock killers, then your ypc will suffer greatly.

In the 11 games in his career that MJD has carried the ball 19+ times, he averages 5 yards a carry and a TD per game. Over 140 yards from scrimmage. And this trend has continued this season. Especially this latest game with 33 carries, 133 rushing yards, 3 TDs and 47 receiving yards.

Stop dropping MJD after games where he gets 12 carries.

Can we get the right photo for Clifton Smith, he did make the pro bowl last year how about a little respect. Can Josh Freeman get his 74 rating back. All he has done moved up from third string to second string. How can you move up on the team depth chart but go down in rating. That ain't right Donny. I don't think it's right to reduce the second string QB's rating or the third string QB's rating in this case when the starter doesn't play well. Albert Mack is the Bucs third DB not Torrie Cox so, Albert Mack needs to go up above Torrie. Do the right thing.

randy moss & brady needs to be boost back to # 1 in there positions especially moss. He's always making 4th down clutch drives & outrunning every defender. I thnk he deserves his 99spd back if not give him 95+acc dude has some the most & unbelievable catches in the nfl every yr but never credited for it. He shouldn't be blamed for brady's overthrows & incomplete passes he throws to moss in double coverage. I could go on & on but give the man 99ovr & 99cth that he deserves. No receiver has out performed moss but always seem to compare themselves to the man, he has every receiver by miles lol

Cassel has performed well this year and deserves to be around 84. Tamba Hali has 3 sacks, 2 forced fumbles, and a safety in 6 games and should be rated higher. He can't help the fact his line is bad. The Madden group likes to hate on the Chiefs even though they lost 3 games this year in the the last minute.

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE…..ADJUST LT AND MERRIMAN TO ACCURATE RATINGS! The Chargers whole team (with the exception of Rivers/Gates) should be lowered. Really, the O-Line gave up 5 sacks, 2 fumbles, and countless hurries on Rivers.

put the bucs overall up and our teams stats up.

Ryan Succop needs a big boost. The only FG he has missed was a block.

Breaston 78 come on pasta he should be 84 with a 93speed. Warner is a hall of fame qb he should be a 95. front 7 is a beast

Not sure if it's been suggested but,

Brian Cushing – Needs a boost, the guy has been playing very solid football (no matter if it's for a rookie or an experienced LB)

Clay Matthews Jr. – Needs a boost as well, he's also been playing pretty well so far.

Julian Edelman – Apparently broke his arm, so he might need to fall on the depth chart for now. His ratings should be increased because he's been very solid in receiving and returning kicks/punts. The kid is going to be a really good slot wr.

Mark Sanchez – For QB's with a minimum of 100 pass attempts, he ranks:
- Last (tied with Delhomme) in INT's (10 int's)
- 29th in completion percentage (52.1%)
- 29th in qb rating (56.7)

Very rookie-like numbers to me. The guy's awareness and accuracy should take a hit, no doubt. He might be good down the road, but for now he's struggling.

Ahmad Green just signed with the Packers

Trevor Scott had back to back Sacks but hes a situational pass rusher maybe a boost in Pass rush
Louis Murphy Needs a run block boost and he ran a 4.3 also LOL raider speed!!!

Oh yeah and that guy up there who said Owen Daniels should be a 90 LOL Only if Zach Miller goes up also because he's ranked higher than Daniels and better. NFL network guys said he's the best TE to come out since GONZALEZ baby!!!

Ray Rice Needs that agility Boost.
Mark Sanchez needs to go down …How about down half a point for every pick he threw this last game

Kyle Orton should be higher b-cuz hes has thrown like one pick….Shut the Hell up damn donkey lovers. Hes WACK its only because of that Texas Tech Offense aka Patriot Spread Formation.

Shaun Tila Merroidman Tequila should go down ..Aint heard his name all season since he choked tila.

LT needs to go down.
Tyvon Branch Ran i believe the Fastest 40yard dash time amongst dbs at his combine. Dont wanna a boost on anything else just give him his raider speed…if he wasnt fast he wouldnt even be on the team. Have u seen him get down field after Lechler punts it 70 yards.
Richard Seymour is a 97 at DT but a 93 as a LEor RE …But hes the only guy i have seen line up at all 4 D-line positions and still get sacks.
Desmond Bryant DT from the Raiderz Ran a 4.9 40yard dash For a freakin DT and hit 225 40 plus times.

How about looking into London Fletcher. This guy is consistently one of the top 5 tacklers and play makers on defense. It is ridiculous that they limit him to such a slow speed. Yeah, he may be a bit long in the tooth, but you can't make all those tackles (65 in 6 games) without being able to move around on the field. How about you take a close look at the way he's rated all around?

It wont matter what you do with the rosters…the game still sucks

no losing effort should be rewared!!; winning is the game and what its all about; Brady is the king of snow
Rivers and Favre stats should be traded ;
put IR players at the bottom of the rosters and not off the game;all these boost for losers is way pathetic,
you all have a great 2nd patch coming out(i hope) make it quick so i can play my great game!

hey does any know what is the best team or defenses to stop the ravens

Tavares Gooden needs a speed and acc. boost, he ran down ADRIAN PETERSON from like 25 yards away

can somebody put antonio dixon in? DT for the eagles? he had a decent game against oakland. i could understand if he never played, but he's part of that rotation!

To be totally honest the rating system is fine, what isnt fine is that in a offline Franchise there is no way to import all the roster update while somehow keeping the stats you got during the season. If the updates were every two weeks for rating changes and every week for roster updates that would be fantastic and that is what EA needs to work on. As for rating changes I think EA should get some slack from you guys, there are so many players it has to be damn difficult to keep any of it strait no matter how many people are working on them, Roster changes should how ever have a dna for Madden, but roster ratings would be very tough, everybody has to take in account about injuries, players losing there jobs players promoted and no name players doing really good in place for an injured player. This will probably never be an exact science but they deffinately can make roster changes be an exact science.

Rashard Mendenhall up Willie Parker down espicially his carry rating. Mike Wallace up(i'm calling it now he will be OROY). Travis Kirske(sp?) is the starter at LE. Mendenhall is the starting HB now.

Jets are becoming the Jets again, they'll probably end up 9 and 7 like always. Too good to get a high draft pick and not good enough to make it to the playoffs. With that being said Sanchez at 81 is fine to stay there, he will get better, Keller could probably see a drop although he is and can be better then what he is showing, the D is still solid but Rex needs to understand that he doesnt have the personnel of the Ravens he has a very bitter Jets personnel and he just cant call the same plays he did in Baltimore not yet anyway. They are missing a key element on defense but I havent figured it out yet I think its just mostly on the front line maybe a better RE or now they need a new DT but cant figure it out and I think its down to them only needing one more impact Defensive player. Sanchez needs to stop floating the ball and stop trying to squeeze in a throw where there is no room, if the Jets help him with that he will get better. The Jets also need to try the three headed running attack. Greene on first down, Jones on second and Leon on third. I think it would work but Rex is not an offensive guy so he can't see it. Night ya'll

It appears as if the Patriots will be making some roster moves before Sunday.

They should be adding either Brandon Tate or Terrance Nunn to the roster, so one of those guys should be added.

Most likely Brandon Tate, so he needs to be re-added.

RAIDERS

FB Gary Russell – He's our new starting FB (not HB anymore) and had a good game catching balls and blocking.

SS Tyvon Branch – Had another good game and has been very solid all seasons. I hope his ratings rise up each week until he hits the 80's. What seems the most lacking in his ratings is tackle. He's our most solid safety tackler.

DT Gerard Warren – Not making any big plays, but not doing anything majorly wrong. I believe his rating is a 68, and probably should be maybe in the 70's because the d-line is doing great.

DE Trevor Scott – Doing well as a 3rd down pass rusher. Got 2 sacks last week.

i'm working on a ratings article for Operation Sports AS WE SPEAK highlighting some of the many issues we're talking about…feel free to send me more examples of guys who are OVERRATED and UNDERRATED guys…thanks!

Jairus Byrd and Terrence McGee

Big Ben should at least b a 95. he's leading the league n pass yds and completion pct. also i think the steelers o-line pass blocking should go up a bit. and how could u 4get hinds ward who's leading the league in recieving. athe sttlers overall offense should get a boost. and mendenhall is steady improving every week [304 yds 4tds] n the last 3 games. And i think heath miller shld b up a bit he is second only 2 dallas clark for te's
