Madden NFL 12 Has Rated Four Players at 99. Overrated? Who Missed the Cut?

One season's stats is what you have to a ridiculous claim that Whitten is better than Antonio? You must be a gigantic homer or just not really pay attention to football enough to recognize talent.

I'm a Charger fan sure, but Gates is still behind Gonzalez.

1) Tony Gonzalez
2) Antonio Gates
3) Chris Cooley
4) Jason Whitten
5) Owen Daniels

What happened to the shift to lower overall ratings we were supposed to get a few years ago? I mean, really, how many perfect players has the NFL ever seen?

Yeah...because Tony Gonzalez is suuuuuuuch a great blocker. Oh wait...he isn't? Hmmm....

At the end of the day Donny obsesses over athletic TE's (see Jermichael FInley's premature rise and the fact that Vernon Davis is still in the high 90's along with Gates being a 99) he also seems to rate strictly on TD's? This hurts a player like Witten whom in his system is blocking in the redzone. Donny disappoints yet again by giving Gates a 99 based purely off of speculation.

If Vernon Davis said it, it must be true...lol

Agreed man.

Who's arguing for Tony Gonzalez to be 99?

A 99 player should execute every aspect of his position at the highest level. Gates is probably the best receiving TE going today, he doesn't execute every aspect of the TE position at the highest level and that's not really in question.

If this debate were taking place 15 years ago, I would argue against Deion Sanders being a 99 overall by virtue of his tackling, although he's definitely be 99 worth as far as man coverage, speed agility, etc.

I'll give you that definitely. I'm also not necessarily arguing Gates should be 99 lol. I think we're on the same page on that. My bad

I think all 4 players deserve their 99's but they should've also included Andre Johnson, Ed Reed, Nnamdi, & Peyton Manning. Phillip Rivers shouldn't be rated any lower than a 97. You see what he did last year with damn near all his Receivers out with injuries? Ridiculous!

I will agree Gates is slightly better (athleticism) but Witten is a better route runner, has better hands and possibly is a better blocker. I'm just saying based off last seasons stats you can't really give either one of them the edge, they're apple's and oranges. I'd say 97-98 Witten and 98 Gates would be fair. Now anyone care to explain why Ware hasn't earned the "coveted" 99 OVR rating as of yet?

Ware should probably be around 97 or so. I'm sure he is up there. And I would rather have Witten over Gates, easily.
