Coaches certainly don't order their depth chart on the basis of perceived fantasy value, so why should Madden developers or indeed Madden players.

I second everything he just said. Could not agree more.

I disagree and you should too. If 95+ is reserved for the all time greats, Peyton Manning definitely deserves to be up there. And though Drew Brees is not even really a hall of famer yet, he is playing at a hall of fame level at this point in his career and deserves to have that sort of rating right now. However the players are definitely overated in Madden and need to be lowered. Way to many 90s.

Nice look at the ratings. Panthers Dwill and Steve Smith on the list atleast. Thanks alot Steveo.

I think there's WAY too many Jet players on the list, let's not forget they went 8-8 last year and BARELY crept into the playoffs. Let's not all jump on the bandwagon just yet...

In my opinion everyone is overrated almost. Go the NBA route, or the Fifa route. If I am not mistaken the best player in the world according to Fifa is a 94 overall. Thats how Madden should be. According to Madden, Brees, Manning, and Chris Johnson can not get any better. Thats just silly. Brees has room for improvement, so does Chris Johnson. Manning is really the only one who deserves to be in the high 90's, but still he is not a 99. He should be around a 96 in my opinion and the best player in the game too.

When players are rated 99, they can't really progress much and thats just not realistic in my eyes. You can always get better at anything. MJ could have been a better dunker than he was, but he was still amazing. But there was still things he could have done that he did not.

But anyways, in my opinion Mike Sellers is underrated, so is London Fletcher. Chris Cooley deserves to be in the low to mid 90's and I think Donovan is still worthy of a low 90's rating. I may be a bit bias as a Skins fan, but Mike Sellers has had a good career. He did have a rough year last year, but he still has it in him. London Fletcher has similar stats Ray Lewis yet is always 5+ points under him. At least this year he is closer to him I believe. Chris Cooley is one of the best TE's in the passing game and definitely has some of the best hands in football. His blocking isn't too bad either. And though Donovan does make some bad throws on those slant routes that make you he still is a good player. The guy cab still move, has a strong arm, and can place the ball in tight spots. If anything is holding him back, its injuries and I assume thats what is keeping his rating from the 90's.

WTF? DRC is not in he top CB? WTF?

Way too many 90++ overall still IMHO....There should only be a MAX of 25 90++ rated players in the entire game honestly....

Looks like another year of tweaking the top tier players 1 by 1....Thats is IF the demo measures up....I am more sour now than before over the gameplay vids and how the showcase the same stuff yet another year...

Locomotion seems very minor in its impact if at all ....

I mean im a pats fan and Moss should be no higher than an 87-88...But ratings are rather irrelevant overall, so who know?

i think Aaron rodgers got cheated he had a waaaaaaaay better season then tom brady matt schaub is underrated fumblez (adrian peterson) isnt better than MJD or steven jackson
