Week 17 Ratings Change Suggestions

by
Posted January 5th, 2010 at 5:02 pm

The next roster update for Madden 10 is finally set to arrive come Friday. This will be the second to last and the most significant considering the final one will adjust primarily only based on performance in the playoffs. Some teams have experienced nosedives since the last update and a few others have stepped up so there are some big changes to be made.

Two players who have been mentioned in the last two articles deserve recognition yet again. Jamaal Charles and Jerome Harrison really emerged once they had a chance to become the featured back for their teams. Charles finished with 1120 yards and seven TDs for the Chiefs despite only starting eight games. Harrison in the final three games once he became the featured back with the Browns put up 561 yards and five TDs.

Other players worthy of note include Bears WR Devin Aromashadu who had 22 catches and four TDs in the final four games of the season where he started getting playing time and Vernon Davis who tied the record for TDs by a TE in a season with 13.

As always leave your thoughts in the comments on what players deserve ratings boosts or hits based on performance as of late and throughout the season!

    As a bears fan, i'ma say only bears player..

    Cutler – really needs to improve.. I don't think there's nothing wrong with his accuarcy. It's just dat hw makes dumb choices, he can make every throw.

    Chris Williams – Did one of the better jobs of Jared allen dis yr, deserves an upgrade.

    Hunter Hillimeyer – Needs to be somewhat improved.. To catch AP from chasing him down, faster den 71 speed and also great at forcing fumbles.

    Zack Bowmen – 5 int, 75 overall I think, as people from Sunday football countdown…. C' MON MEN!!!!

  • Taylor

    Mike Tolbert! His skills used for running the ball need to go up more than his blocking. He is used as the running back a lot when games are out of reach and the Chargers are resting LT and he is quite effective. His ball carrying and trucking and elusiveness skills need to go up. Right now if you put him in at running back his rating is like 57 or something, it should be up to like 70, he is good at running the ball. Trucking needs to go up a lot, hes a power runner.

  • Gerardo Ortiz

    Jay Cutler raised overall to 80-86 at the most !(his accuracy shouldnt be as low as it is just poor decision making)

    Devin Aromashadu 62-80 at the least for hist very impressive speed catching ability and route running

    Matt Forte 86-89 His Overrall can not be decreased due to a poor offensive line his stats more then likely would be higher if he were given the gaps

    Devin Hester shoudl go from 79-80 just for impressive season

    orlando pace 85-75 for poor lack of season

    cris williams at least 82 for taking Jared Allen

    and last but not least

    Jhonny knox-72-77 for impressive rookie season

    Texans get no love at all! i would say themost consistant passing game this year witout there starting gaurds and TE and they would be in the playoffs if TWO!!!! teams wouldnt have rolled over for the Jets. Matt Shaub is the number QB in te league statistic wise and Dre' definately needs to be a 99 no doubt he is the best reciever in the league. Pollard needs an improvement and Demeco and Cushing prolly one of the best if not he best LB crew in the league including Zach Diles and Dunta Robinson has really stepped his game up the last couple of weeks in the 4 game winning streak. They beat a Patriots team that played thir starters!

    OK… How can Jamaal Charles not be at least a 90 overall back?!?! ladanian tomlinson is 90 overall and compare him to JC in the last 8 games. JC absolutely kills him. and how do you have a running back that averages 5.9 yds per carry and 2nd most yards to chris johnson since lj was released in only the mid 80's? hes at LEAST a 90 overall back if not higher
