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.

    Chris Johnson should've been a 92 after this last update… But he wasn't upgraded… Now he needs a rating of at least a 94 or 95… 6.9 ypc ha ha unheard of. Leading the NFL in rushing and has had his bye week already while others like Adrian Peterson haven't. Hmmmmmm

      if you're trying to say that chris johnson is better than peterson than you're a fucking retard and have no idea about football. AP is the best back in the NFL and will be for years to come.

    OK FIRST AND FORMOST… the vikings have 31 sacks in the nfl; the second closest to us is 23 in denver… our whole front 7 needs drastic speed and blockshedding upgrades.. we have no linebacker in the 80 speed range making its impossible to reach the qb if you are playing ne one good. Brett Farve needs to be atleast a 90-94 HARVIN IS THE THIRD MOST ELECTRIFYING PLAYER IN FOOTBALL he should be atleast an 85 with 99 speed( aswell as desean jackson).. Sidney and solid 82, and berrian.. SHIANCOE IS THEEEEEEE MOST UNDERRATED TE IN FOOTBALL he is a 79 over all that has caught 6 touchdowns.. our whole rightside blows yet we somehow shut out the packers all gm and everyone else.. Phil Loadholt it the most underrated tackle in football.. who was the only person trying to catch a steeler on their returns… loadholt.. who was the only guy still blocking when we beat the niners last second.. loadholt, and big catch vs the ravens… watch the videos he never gives up

    EA seems to have been hating on the Ravens for quite some time. Rice deserves a boost. He is one of the best all around players in the league. He's a threat both running AND catching the ball. He deserves a vision, speed, awareness, and overall boost. Wide receivers definitely deserve a boost with the way they have been playing. They are all faster than what the ratings on Madden show. Jameel McClain and Tavares Gooden have been doing a great job backing up the starters, they should definitely be taken out of the 60's. Kelly Gregg is still one of the better NT's in the league, he's fat, but a 43 speed? come on….he needs a speed boost and overall boost. And our coaching is at 1 bar after getting to the AFC Championship game last year? That definitely needs boosted, as well as special teams.

    Jesus christ I hope you guys are just killing time at work while getting on this web site and complaining about video game stats. Or some other reasonable explanation. I really hope you arent using your free time. If you are using your free time you should turn on your console and boot up madden and actually learn how to play the game. Seriously the average for a rating boost is 1-2 points overall, if you are good at Madden and have your game tight, having a player rated just 1 or 2 point higher really doesnt matter in the grand scheme of things.

    Brett Favre should be in between 90-94 i mean look at how he has been playing outstanding!!!
    Percy Harvin is a huge threat at any spot on the field but yet he isn't even 80 overall kind of a joke
    Sidney Rice still made some pretty amazing catches and should be even higher yet atleast his catch should be up.
    Aaron Rodgers should go down he has been playing like a puss always holding the ball and never throwing it what a vagine!!!!! GO VIKINGS
