The first update in the last three weeks and only the third update in the last eight weeks is set to be out on Friday. As such there should be some pretty significant changes given the gaps in updates and the developments on the field. Thoughts from the previous weeks of ratings discussion carry through to now.

The Steelers have struggled lately losing their last four games and to poor teams at that. Most criticized seems to be the secondary where the 88 rated Ike Taylor may be benched. Another team that has had trouble is the Patriots and their defense should see downgrades as it has been picked on as of late. Bruce Gradkowski has taken over in Oakland and done a respectable job. He threw for 308 yards and three touchdowns to beat Pittsburgh. At the moment he is only rated a 62 which is three points under JaMarcus Russell. The Redskins have now at least gotten competitive and Jason Campbell has shown improvement. His 30-42-367 and three touchdowns may have been his best performance to date. Also Clinton Portis is on the way to the IR.

As always leave your thoughts in the comments on which players are deserving of a ratings boost or downgrade.

    How obvious none of u watch the cowboy games.(btw im a huge cowboy fan) romos stats looked good but he cost us the game not the def he overthrew rwilliams wide open. Defense gave us hope off lost it
  • NorCal
    And Ahmard Hall is playing better then any FB has since Lorenzo Neal was 27 years old.

    You can reduce his carrying if you want to (Fumbled vs. Colts), but his awareness, and every blocking attribute needs to be bumped way up.
  • NorCal
    Since returning from his hamstring Injury Cortland Finnegan has returned to Pro-Bowl form.

    He held Reggie Wayne to 4 catches for 48 yards last week. He was on Wayne almost the entire game. And 25 of those yards came on one catch where Dallas Clark bumped Finny off of Wayne.

    Nick Harper just sucks. Move him down to the 50's. He's slower than Chris Hope, he gives 10 yards of cushion and still gets beat over the top.

  • Jay24
    3 of his last 4 starts over 200 yards, and one was for over 300... How many guys throw for over 300 yards with regularity that are not in the 90s? He is more like an 82
  • Jay24
    I apologize, that was meant as a reply
  • Jay24
    Hood hasn't even been active recently since Harper came back, how can you raise him?

    Cook hasn't played much and his stuff is pretty good where its at based on that. Crumpler has still been more productive than Cook thus far. Cook is the future

    VY-85 seems just a little bit too high.

    Otherwise agree with everything else. Not that I matter.

    Just about everyone on the Titans needs a boost, they were all dropped crazily and deserved it at the time @ 0-6... Now they've won 5 of 6 they definitely have a lot of guys needing some upgrades.

    As for trowing screens lol, don't really think many of those upgrades would really help the screen game. Should we not give credit where credit is do based on fear of screen passes? That would be odd
  • JayReed
    The steelers corner are not that good. They get beat all the time. it's just polomalu that alway have this back over the top. He can damn near cover the whole field. everytime polomalu cause a pick it was because one of his corners that got beat and the qb thinks thier open.
  • ladys lol your dick
    dude shut it, seriously. it people debating if you dont like it go watch martha stewart.
  • xX L Boogie Xx
    just calling it like i see it. like it or not.
  • and yet u came to this site, clicked on the link that says "Ratings Change Suggestions", read everyones comments, and typed that dumb bullshit up there....whos the nerd that needs to be laughed at exactly?
  • i LOL at u NERDS
    everyone crying and whining, about overalls! maybe that is why ea doesn't update much anymore! they are sick and tired of you degenerates bitching and moaning. STFU and be grateful they even do roster updates at all. you all must be young and not remember what it use to be like when there was no such this as updates! those times fucking sucked!

    point be, STFU and pop your mom's tittay back in your mouth if you are just going to cry and complain. be grateful we have updates, PERIOD!
  • Jay24
    How are you gonna be reading and posting on a site and callin mother fuckers nerds for doing so? Ha Ha what a fuckin clown.

    This is a place for debate and some madden rating Dialogue... So Vamoose Son of a Bitch
  • Jon Bon
    Please get the right OLB positions for teams!!!! Like the Giants, Patriots, Buccaneers, Bills, Vikings, etc. It's not fucking hard, just look at most of their sites to find out which side they play!
  • JayReed
    Just give everybody on the Titans a boost. Then it'll be eaisier for the Titans fans to cheese . (run back 40 yards with vince you and trow screens all game)

    V. Young:85-Playing good smart football, maybe hope for him after all.
    K. Britt:82-Really Stepped up in Gages absence.
    J. Cook:79- Better than Crumpler these days and should be rated so
    M. Roos:97- 2nd best LT in the game.
    D. Stewart:94- One of the big reasons CJ is on his way to 2K yards.
    J.Gage:80 - Doing great before the injury, and was injured making a bad ass catch.
    R.Hood:78- 3picks in 3games one for a TD, should still be the starter.
    K.Mawae:92-Still one of the best centers and is better than a 89.
    J.Scott:88-Another strong link in the chain that is helping VY & CJ make plays
    C.Finnegan:94- one of the best lock down corners in the game today, and he is the Titans secondary.
    J.Ford:80
    T.Bown:85
    W.Hayes:79
    K.Bulluck:95-Still in the top 5 Linebackers.
    E.Amano: 72- Lets see if he can HOLD that.
    A.Hall: 85-Carry needs to go down.
    M.Griffin:83-Not the same layer he was last season.
    C.Hope:85- Bad coverage but he does have a pick and makes some tackles
    N.Washington:75- He Cant catch the deep ball and makes VY & the Titans look bad.
    J.Kearse:70-Not the guy that came back to TN last season.
    L.Hawkins:65-making plays finally.
  • blondeviking64
    VY at an 85 is crazy right now. He may get there. But as is id say he needs at least two more 300yard passing games before he could be an 85. He is more like a 78. I dont think one good game is enough to make a player an 80 rated. He needs a few more. PS throwing for less than 200 yards is generally not considered a good game
  • Wow another blogger with issues. Why doesn't that surprise me? You know that after I say my piece I don't really care about anybody on here but I see you take my comments to heart. Maybe you should become a man and stop being so sensitive. This is a sports game forum so all that other nonsense is just pitiful.

    Mo Diddley the tell it like it is-er!
  • How brave is 5150? He's so brave that he uses an anonymous name behind a firewall LOL. Who cares about your insults in this forum man? I mean really, I bet you are one of the guys who takes video games so serious when playing cussing up a storm bcuz somebody on ur team didn't do what you were thinking lol. I play games for fun I don't take this stuff serious. I know what serious is all about as I had an extremely serious job for over 10 years. Stick to your anonymous self in another state behind your CPU screen cuz all it makes me do is have a good laugh. LMAO

    Mo Diddley the reality checker!
  • Shawn
    Players should only get increased based on if they are underrated or overrated. We shouldn't take away what players have done over the years. This is what have made players great and stars. Julius Peppers had a bad season in 07. Should he have been an 85 even though he has put up double digit sacks every other year he has been in? Of course not. Farve had a bad end of season with the Jets, but look what he has done and what he's doing now. He should not have came in the game ranked that low anyway. Some of these players that are having good seasons is just that. A good season. Then they will fall off and you never hear from them again. Some will keep it up and continue to be recognized as stars. What was the purpose of EA's new rating system if they are still going to raise and drop everyone every time they make a good play or a bad play.
  • Will
    True, True.
  • Will
    Yeah you guys are all right ... hopefully they find a better way to rate the players someday because Im not liking how they dont even no how the player did so they just give him like a negative five points because really I dont even think that they try hard to get all the ratings right I just think they randomly go out giving people boosts and decreases. We need a better system.
  • Shawn
    That's what I was saying. He was killing defensives for Pittsburgh and a heisman finalist in 03. He must of had that super futuristic Madden. (laughing)

    please fix player positions for bears.daniel manning is now the bears 3rd corner he should be a 72 overall he should have better awarness.tillman should be a 86 with better tackling and hit power.bowman should be a 74 with better awarness and catching.afalava is a fs now and is faster than a 79 at least a 80 overall with speed of 85.payne is the ss and i think hes good where he is maybe a point higher.jamar williams needs the biggest boost.he recorded 20 takles in the rams game and has had potential for a while.his speed should go up around a 83-85.hes very quick and strong. chris williams is now are lt and should be around a 80 overall.lower pace to about a 75.lower beekman to a 70.kruetz garza shaffer are good where there at.forte should go down a little but only his awarness.but his catching should go up, hes second in the league amongst running backs in recieving yards.cutler is ok where he is but his accuaracy and throw on the run should go up.he is tops in the league outside the pocket in completion percentage.bennett needs a boost in speed and catching.hes around 88 speed and catches everything thrown to him.olsen could use a boost hes cutler fav target.d clark needs to be lowered he is washed up.kellen davis could use a little bump in pass protection.knox still needs a speed bump.he ran a 4.27 combine and most people say hes the fastest in the nfl next to c johnson.hester could use a little better catch in traffic rating to.please fix aromashouda.he has great potential and has great hands and speed.cutler has been asking coaches to play him more.then please add cato june k bell.bell should have at least 93 speed.hes faster than wolfe.last thing is raise m anderson.hes played alot lately and has the most qb pressures on the bears.thanks ea and donny moore
  • Dkdj
    I agree but Chris williams is really bad an awful draft choice should be 76. And knox still hasn't got update e deserves from earlier. Also Alex brown is by far bears best overall end. Lower whole offensive line

    Suggestions

    Mo_Diddley- originality rating -10, "the tell it like it is-er" comments are getting old among others.

    Bobby_Niners- Homer team awerness +5, really has his team on lock and doesnt really make to many comments on other squads.

    Jay24- over team evaluation + 8, can tell he watches more then highlights must hav ethe redzone chanel, which i love by the way.

    ill leave my own evaluation up to Ho_Diddley, the be a douche and say retarded things-er
  • iKG
    Increase Mike Jenkins for Cowboys... needs to be at least 85 overall, decrease Newman to 86 ovr
  • 5150
    dude taylor got destroyed by gradkoski and the raiders
    steelers are average without polamalu
  • SixBurgh
    Never said the secondary was that good...and they're not rated good either....Gay is a 74....and Clark is an 83.....definitely not hign numbers....I think Clark is rated reasonibly....he does tackle and hit well....he has been breaking up a lot of pass plays...and almost picked one in the last 2 games....I believe one was broken up by his own teamate...in any case....I watched both games....I haven't missed a steeler game in the last 8-9 years....have had the Sunday ticket since...and I watch many other teams as well...not just pittsburgh....but honestly....go back and watch the game from oakland if you want....and even if you went back to Baltimore....you'd probably see it was less Ike Taylor than you think....but you aren't looking at it from a defensive standpoint.

    And i'm not listening to the commentators all the time...but you have to admit....every once in a while....they actually do get it right....and thats why i pointed it out....because it was that obvious....they actually got it right too

    Oh and your Ravens....gotta love Ray Rice....I watched him play at Rutgers a few times....he's the man.
  • The truth is they need someone who is not a fan of a team but a fan of the NFL... Donny is clearly a Cowgirl fan... we need un-biased people who follow every team...

    On that thought why not establish 8 people to do the ratings... their job each week is to follow the DIVISION they are assigned... have one guy on NFC WEST another on AFC WEST... and they watch the games of all 4 teams multiple times and come up with something like 3-5 players who deserve upgrades and 3-5 who need downgrades from each team..... Thus keeping us loyal Madden consumers happy, and the "SPREAD" ratings would still remain intact...

    My 2 and a half cents.,,,,
  • xX L Boogie Xx
    Freakin great suggestion, you would think a company as big as EA would think of these things themselves.
  • Great idea huh?LOL i suggested this a long time ago but since you have so much hate in your blood xX L Boogie Xx you didn't even acknowledge it. Whatever though xX L Boogie Xx you are what you are which is a weak feeble attempt of a man.

    Mo Diddley the tell it like it is-er!
  • Good suggestion. I agree.
