If anything, it should be even higher.

I'm glad there hasn't been a Steelers fan to complain about not having enough 90+ overall players on defense hahah they are freakin stacked on that side of the ball

Pittsburgh's defense is lights out.

Ike was far and away the fastest player on the Steelers before Mike Wallace came along, and EA finally notices. The only reason you assumed he wasn't that fast because your only source was EA's ratings.

Donny did a solid job with the Steelers. Only a few I would change:

+ Mendenhall should have 92 speed and 90 acceleration
+ Ike Taylor's man coverage should be closer to 88-90 range.
+ Ziggy Hood should have around 94-95 strength.
+ Heath Miller speed should be around 76.
- Farrior's overall is too high.
- Anthony Madison should closer to 60-62 overall

A few things that jump out at me:

Hines Ward is still and 86 (too high), Emmanuel Sanders only a 70.

Big Ben 94 throw power and 89 throw accuracy and 94 overall?! Field day! I expected around a 91ish.

Wow Timmons is so much better than Farrior, so how is Farrior a 91? I had Farrior at 80-83 range.

Stevenson Sylvester is only an 57 overall, I can't wait to see that rise throughout the course of the season.

Ike Taylor finally gets recognition for his speed at 95. Keenan Lewis and Crezdon Butler only a 59 and 58 respectively. Hopefully those will rise throughout the course of the season as well.

Hmm, I can already tell the moves I'll have to make in my first offseason.

1. Draft a decent WR
2. Draft a decent TE
3. OL
4. Safety

Otherwise the ratings came out as I expected. Heyward and Carter will be great after a few years. Can imagine myself really using Baron Batch as well.

Cribbs at 79 is an absolute joke. 23 catches, 293 yards and 1 TD. What about that makes EA think that he is deserves an overall rating of a starting receiver? I would say rate him 65. No higher.
