Exactly what I was thinking, no respect for the Lions.

Looks like they took a FIFA approach to the ratings. The highest rated team in FIFA is an 85 or 86 I believe.

You see, that's terrible. FIFA is global sport so I'm fine with FIFA ratings being low but this is MADDEN. Madden ratings needs to be in the 90s. Highest rated team in NFL being an 86 is a joke.

I think the Bills defense should have them up at least another two points but that is not all that bad.

I think the reason the Lions are rated so low is because their team is mostly an offensive one and that offense consists of Stafford and a WR who is the closest thing to unstoppable in Calvin Johnson. If the AI can run their offense properly, their poor ratings should not matter. Their defense has a solid line but their secondary is atrocious.

I'm mostly confused by the Patriots, Eagles, and Steelers and Texans. The first three seem a bit overrated. The Patriots are a one sided team, the Eagles couldn't put their pants on last season, and the Steelers just are not the team they once were. The Texans on the other hand, as others stated, are very likely the best all around team in the AFC.

Either way, I'm happy we don't have hyper inflated ratings where there is no way to make teams better with time.

Ive never said this about Madden ratings before but I LOVE THESE RATINGS!!!!!! The 2 best teams in the league are NE & GB, but both had the 2 worst pass D in the league last year, if it wasn't for that these 2 would be 93 NE 92 GB, everyone else around 80 something. Finally someone lowered the elites bc of there problems, NE fixed theres in the draft and so did GB, GB losing Nick Collins really hurt them last year, and haven't really replaced him yet.

And why is everyone complaining about not knowing how they team rate when they released a detailed chart last year showing how they have been doing it. Someone find it and repost it. Had something to do with 80+ players, elite qb, elite d etc.
