Week 10 Ratings Change Suggestions

After taking three weeks off from Madden 10 roster updates there should be one arriving on Friday. Given that gap and only one update being released in the last five weeks it should be a very significant one. Keeping up on developments of the last few games are the week eight and week nine articles.

Sidney Rice continues his emergence as a #1 receiver in Minnesota with 201 yards against the Lions. Three of his last four games have included 136 yards, 176 yards, and now 201 which makes his 82 rating look on the low side. Josh Freeman may not have big stats but he has helped the Bucs become competitive. His current 70 rating will probably move up 3-5 points. Similar situation in Tennessee where a 71 rated Vince Young hasn’t been lighting it up but the team is 3-0 with him starting. I’ll bring up Chris Johnson again as he had yet another explosive game with 136 yards rushing and 100 yards receiving.

Jay Cutler may see the biggest decrease in the update. He now leads the league in INTs with 17, passing by and running away from Jake Delhomme in just one game. The 86 he has now certainly can’t be justified and he should probably fall into the high 70s. The only reason he won’t go lower is he still has the potential to turn it around. Joey Porter should see a fairly large decrease also from his 94. Not only was he benched due to off-the-field issues but his play has been sub-par all season and he may not make it back into the starting lineup. As incredible as Adrian Peterson is he will probably lose some from his carry rating after two more fumbles this weekend.

Larry Johnson has joined the Bengals and should be included in the update. The move doesn’t make much sense given the statements that he’ll be 4th on the team’s depth chart. A handful of players have hit the IR including Ellis Hobbs, Roy Williams (Cincy), and Jordan Gross. Also affected by injury is Brian Westbrook who’s status for the remainder of the season is in question after yet another concussion.

For the Titans:
Vince Young to a 76 (in each of his three starts this season, he has a 90 Passing rating or better)
Chris Johnson to a 96 (Do i need to say anything?)
This kinda goes for the whole o line..allowing nfl least/best 7 sacks and 20 qb hits and blocking for the lead league in rushing this year. Titans Arguably have the best O line in the Game. They shouldnt of went down in the first place. no matter the record
LT Micheal Roos back up to 97
C Kevin Mawea up to 93
RG Jake scott back to 88
RT Davis Stewert back up to 92
DE William Hayes up to 70s (Has 3.5 sacks in the three wins)
CB Cortland Finnegan up to 92 (Really the only DB thats played well for the Titans (3ints) and missed three games)
CB Rod Hood up to 78 ( Has played great since signing him (3 ints in 3 games)
CB Nick Harper aka toast down to 72 ( Been injured and getting beat all season)
really only five guys go up. (Young,Johnson, Hayes, Finnegan, Hood)
The O Line shouldnt of went down in the first place. it was like they were putting the blame on the o line for Collins shitty play when the o line is probably the stongest part of the team. and was giving Collins a decade to throw the picks.

Lol guess you didn't want to touch on the Vernon Davis comment you made huh?!? Obviously it takes more than 1 player but the run game STARTS with the NT as I said the 9ers have a solid LB's but wo the NT keeping the o-linemen off of them they would get ran on the only team that ran for 100 yds was the Titans but they do that to everyone they shut down AP Mr Vikings Fan

Roman Harper for the Saints needs a rating boost, he is the leading tackler for the Saints. Saints also just signed Chris McCallister. Heath Evans is out for the season and has been replaced with Kyle Eckel.Devery Henderson's spectacular catch and catch in traffic needs to be brought way up he has proven time and time again he can catch the ball now.

Lol where do you get your numbers?!? He ran a 4.38 which I'd like to add was faster than AP who ran a 4.40 there was an article in USA TODAY about it buddy once again he had a 92 spd rating in Madden 09 so yeah he needs to keep his rating bc he's that fast it has nothing to do with him doing well now it has everything to do with him being underrated in the spd category. So guess you're right there are too many ppl rated fast on Madden lets take AP down he's too fast!!!

V.Davis didnt run a 4.3 he ran a 4.4 and just becuase he ran a 44 doesnt mean he suddenly needs an increase now. I think the madden speed has too many people way to fast. As for the guy that caught AP from behind, he was the fastest guy at the combine his rookie season. Please, the speed of the game is messed up becuase there are too many "overly fast players." A 4.4 speed 40 should be at around 88 speed. Just becuase a guy starts doing better doesnt mean his speed should go up. He doesnt look blazingly fast to me.

ACCORDING TO BLONDEVIKING AP SHOULD BE AN 88 SPD HE RAN A 4.40 @ THE COMBINE THESE ARE THE KINDS OF PEOPLE THAT POST ON THIS FORUM LOL RIDICULOUS

der

um check out the combine footage VD ran a 4.38 not a 4.4 , so by your math VD should be a 90, he doesnt look fast to you watch him, he doesnt get up field first cause he blocks first 90 percent of the time!

JoeyHeyNow

Hester is on pace for 1000 yards. He is looking fluid and using his burst well, not running full speed 100% of the time.

The O line is poor. It is hard to run the ball with the bears in Madden, except when I use the wildcat.

The only INT on Thursday I don't put on JayCuts was the deep hitch with Cover 3 on top. Good read, bad break.

Yes, Hester got bumped by the ref. However, you can't lead drag routes into a mid zone. Bad decision + bad luck = INT in this case.

Hey Pasta, do you have any idea if the block kick-off glitch is going to be adressed in the next patch coming up? If anyone one else has this problem or knows if it's going to be fixed, please let me know.

When are we going to lower Willie Paker. He's 3rd RB n the dpht chart now. 2 to 3 carries does not warrrant starter oveall.

rellimie

Parker isn't over the toe yet. That being said Parker should be lowered to 75, Moore should be a 78, Menenhall should be an 84-85 with increased catch and speed. He is on pace for 1200 yards and didn't start until week 4. He is also averaging 5.5 yards per carry.

I also think the left side of the oline (including center) needs an increase and the RG and RT need a slight decrease.

An increase to Ryan Clark is warrented, 85-87? That being said the entire Steelers defense has been playing awesome, even in the Bengals lost as they kept a very good Bengals offense out of the endzone so an increase would be arrented. Someone needs to show William Gay some love and Ike Taylor needs to go back to a 90 like he was last year. He doesn't get picks but he shuts recievers down.

Ellison has been proving he's worth something. Rivers needs a good increase 93 or 94 would be perfect. Our pass D is fine but the run D needs a little bump from where they're at.

giants

only players on the giants i want to see go up are Mario Manningham, Terrell Thomas. Hakeem Nicks shouldn't have a better rating than Manningham. atleast not yet.

Sebastian Vollmer needs a HUGE increase. He shut out Joey Porter one week (0 sacks, 0 tackles, 0 impact) and held Dwight Freeney to 1 QB hurry and 0 sacks the following week. The guy is going to be great and he's only a rookie! Freeney had been having his way with LT's all season long, getting at least 1 sack per game and he got nothing against the rookie, Vollmer.

Show him some love!! He needs to be at least an 84 if Nick Kaczure is an 84; Kaczur will probably be sent to the bench when Matt Light gets back, as Vollmer will be the RT if Light can't adjust properly to the right side.

One ratings boost that has been overlooked through all the updates has been the speed of the Buccaneers WR Sammie Stroughter he was a kickoff and punt return specialist in college how can his speed be an 84 any good returners speed must at least be a 90. Buccaneers QB Josh Freeman has helped the team and deserves much better than a 70 overall rating. and how about the biggest problem I have always had with drafting college prospects from EA's NCAA to Madden. For example I play with small teams like South Florida. If my Quarterback or halfback wins the heisman they should come into madden as a first round pick not a 5th or 6th round projection…overall I would rather see EA do something about this.

Tampa Bays defense could also use a boost such as Aquib Talib, Geno Hayes, Chris Hovan, and Styles White.

Overall ratings are important but what about we who play dynasty in NCAA and hope to transfer our players to the NFL in Madden. Well if my small school QB wins the Heisman Trophy should'nt he be a first round draft projection and not a 5th or 6th round…over I wish EA would do something about this….

why would you move down forte after having around 200 yards receiving in the last two games, barely getting carries in the arizona and with the worst run blocking line in football? Also cutlers numbers may look bad but he has made an incredible impact on the bears offense. You have to actually watch games to give out ratings not only read stats. And this update is over a few weeks now and Cutler had his best game against Arizona and cant only be judged on the last one. Ron Turner is also the worst offensive play caller in the nfl calling dives on 3rd and 7 plus consistantly. He also has not recognized we cant run up the middle and wont try to go off tackle. The wide receivers numbers this year for the bears are the best ive seen in years and hester bennet and know deserve increases (knox for the increases he didnt get earlier) bennet and hester should be high 70s. Daniel manning needs a huge decrease he only has tackles because he hops on peoples back 14 yards down field and is dragged another 5 yards. hilimeyer decrease. oline decrease everyone. sadly decrease tommie alittle. the bears suck everywhere else already so why a decrease.
