Week Eight Ratings Change Suggestions

Statistically there were only a handful of players who had standout games in week eight however some trends were evident. The Giants should see a drop (at least to the defense) after getting smoked in three straight games. Kurt Warner turned the ball over six times and has been inconsistent this season. Steve Slaton got benched in favor of Ryan Moats who had a big game so some changes may be in store there. Jairus Byrd has seven picks and 16 passes defensed already this season leading the league in both categories and could get pushed up a few more points this week.

For some reason EA is hesitant to drop JaMarcus Russell down more than a point each time they do, I’m guessing this is because they still want the Raiders to be a serviceable team for those who want to use them. Currently he sits as a 67 which, granted, is the lowest starter. However the ratings are supposed to be reflective of how good the players are and those who decide to play with the Raiders would know they’ve got a challenge on their hands. Artificially keeping certain players higher just because they are starters goes against the whole meaning of ratings.

Owen Daniels injury and the release of Chris Chambers should also be reflected in the next update. As always leave your thoughts in the comments on what players deserve a boost or a downgrade based on their performance in this week’s Madden 10 roster update.

Percy Harvin. Brett Farve, Sidney Rice, Chad Greenway all need a boost.

I hate the Vikings, but I agree with all of these. Especially Greenway and Rice.

It is obvious is it not, that Chris Johnson is one of the best running backs in the game and hes a 90? every week he continues to improve his numbers.. people always say oh its because hes so fassssssssst.... on his 89 yard td run he broke 1 tackle, trucked sticked another and still outran everyone.. i dont get why he isnt at least a 94,95? on that run his vision was spectacular! he has awesome vision carrying is really low and hes only fumbled once and has taken huge hits, and not to mention why isnt is agility a 99, acc a 99??? this cat dominates!!!!!

uncoolguyjoe

truck stick? He wasn't playing madden. He trucked the guy.

leo

idiot he already owns at madden and it is mostly his speed but if you cant use him you suck

rw35

u hit the nail on da head I think he is the most dangerous back even over AP and im a steeler fan

fuck ea

MOJO is, was, and always will be, a better running back that Chris Johnson. Maybe a 92 but until he can sniff MOJO's dirty jock he needs to stay low 90s.

X26AceX

He should be a overall 95. one of the best backs.LEADING RUSHER EVRYTHING NEEDS TO GO UP TRUCKING,BALL VISION,JUKES,ACC,AGILITY. next to adrain peterson he is open of the best backers. AND KEEP HATING U GAY ASS HATERS.

elliasjwilliams

Saints just Won...albeit it wasn't dominating......slight upgrades should be handed out. Pierre Thomas should be around an 85.....period. Marques Colston should get an upgrade to CIT and CTH. Devery Henderson/Robert Meachem have better hands than given credit for. Oh Lance Moore's hands should be higher....he may not be the speediest...but check his RESUME....kid doesn't drop passes. Will Smith keeps coming up with sacks....2more tonighgt

To be fair....the Falcons, deserve a few upgrades...and 1 downgrade i would suggest is John Abraham. Michael Turner still has it...however noticeably the saints are a smaller defense. I think he should stay where he is but the guy is elusive as well as a tackle breaker. I noticed he rarely gets a a solid hit put on him. Tony Gonzales is a MANNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!

chris johnson from the raiders, had a sweet pic... marcus colston.... umm and MJD and Chris Johnson from the titans.. had a huge game

Big EZ

Chris Johnson got that INT because Vincent Jackson dropped the pass, which is very uncharacteristic of V-Jack. It wasn't "sweet" at all.

Sean

Will friggin' Smith. All I need to say.

trey rogers

will smith does need a boost.. piere thomams?
Rb- Chris Johnson michael turner--maybe
wr-moore from saints
qb- i know it was only 1 game but vince young was damn near perfect! what athletic plays he made.. cant wait to see teams start using the titans again with the way hes going to get this team rolling again

johnbob

You're hallucinating. Watch how well he does when Johnson doesn't run for 225+ yards and plays against a competent pass defense.

Attaboy21

youre right.... vince young IS the titans franchise

Tyrant10

Titans:
-Remove hair from Eugene Amano...he doesn't have hair like Polamalu...dont know why noone fixes it
-Small ratings boost for VY
-Ratings boost for WHayes (starting in place of JKearse), KVickerson (one of Titans best penetrating linemen and he's one of the lowest rated, CFinnegan (came back and locked down Sims-Walker), CJ (top 2-3 backs in the league and showed he can carry the load), BKern (boomed punts and showed surprising accuracy), small boosts for the entire o-line Stewart. Scott, and Roos especially), DBall (active and contributing at both DT and DE), AHall (most underrated FB in the game), and Tulloch (becoming a reliable tackler and 2 down linebacker)
-Lower ratings for NHarper (terrible in man and press coverage), KCollins (horrible with the ball in his hands), small reduction for Kearse (age kinda catching up)
-PLEASE put pics for WHayes, JMcCourty, and CWilliams

fuck ea

hahaah CJ aint top 2 or 3 fanboy

DHes23

I don't mean to be a dick but what is the titan's record again? Why do they deserve increases to the 10+ players you mentioned? While the only decreases you mentioned are for two players that aren't even starting and a third that no one in their right mind would start in madden anyway (Harper has what? an 80 speed?).

uncoolguyjoe

I think the the Saints D needs awareness moved up. They tip balls, swarm the ball and get ints. Chris Johnson and MJD need to go up. Shawntae Spencer of the 49ers has been playing good. He needs to be better than 74.

terrorblaze

i dont know why you got to continue to single jamarcus out. If you want to move him to 50 ovr or something you'd have to do that to all the horrible starters in the league. Jamarcus is already a pain in the ass to throw with, what more do you want? And as terrible as jamarcus as been he isn't even the worst starting QB, that would be derek anderson. Where's the outcry for Derek Anderson? He's a 69 overall with 73 accuracy but just not as easy a punching bag I guess.

umm...

"Jamarcus is already a pain in the ass to throw with, what more do you want?"

I guess I missed the part where the ratings system is setup to make it easy for you to throw with a terrible quarterback.

Shoe

I think if anything Russell should lose even more awareness. It may not affect how he plays when user-controlled, but his sim stats should be horrible. And, sure, Derek Anderson's been playing terrible, but his receivers, o-line, and running game (or lack there of) certainly haven't done anything to help him.

Ted Rene

Jamarcus cant be that bad if a lot of elite madden players use them when the go to tournaments. Most overrated team in madden history ! Da Raiders

rw35

I feel u nobody crying about Derek Anderson and he is garbage and Shaun Hill who lost job to Alex Smith

DonnieBFL

The Ravens Defense is back and stronger than ever ,they shut down the Broncos and proved that they are a elite team and Flacco,Rice and the total team need a overall boost 30-7 over what many thought was a power house team. There secondary played great shutting down Marshall and rookie Webb showed out.

blake

Take the hair off of Brice McCain and Glover Quin on the Texans please. Neither have dreads.

Brian Cushing and Zac Diles needs a boost.

DonnieBFL

How can Flacco be a top QB on Madden10 throwing the deep ball and having WR's with sub 90 speed Mason and Clayton should be at least 90 or 92 speed and Kelly Washington is always open for the big catch at least 88 speed with 85 catching show love EA they have earned it.

TX-12

Let it go fanboy. Mason and Clayton are not burners so why make them 90 speed? they are possession type WR's their speed is just fine.

HUEJAC2

Amen. How about Manningham for the Giants with 92 speed. What a joke.

fuck ea

because fanboys cried about how he is so much faster than his combine speed, no hes not, he ran that with no pads on and was slow, still is, just has some decent accel

Rude Boy

His recievers get down the field bc Flacco has time then when he throws the ball his veteran wr adjust make the catch & rack up the yac

BernieWilliams

Leon Hall, Cornerback of the Bengals deserves a raise. He's been shutting down legit receivers all year.

BearyCHI

Johnny Knox and Devin Hester Deserves a Rating BOOST including Earl Bennett.They should all be over at least a 78. The Raven are Back needs a Team Boost and The Bears Defense needs a Boost although they are alot of Young Players but Charles Tillman and Daniel Manning need a overall boost.
