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

[GrandMaster B]

Brady? Who won the Superbowl? Rodgers should be a 99.

In the end if Witten was relied on as much as Gates was, I'd agree with you. He's not, so Gates is better, on paper and on the field.

Donny rates by TD's Witten's 90 catch rating is a joke! Vernon Davis has even said Witten has the best hands of any WR/TE in the entire league. Witten is also the only TE with a shot at Tony Gonzalez all time TE catch record.

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.

they're all overrated. No active player should be ranked over a 96. 97-99 ratings should be reserved for all-time greats like Deion, Barry, Payton and Jerry Rice.

Nnamdi -

8 catches
30 attempts
137 yards
0 TDs


Revis -

28 catches
57 attempts
350 yards
4 TDs



revis and not Nnamdi is a joke! Must be caught up in the media hype of "revis Island" instead of actually paying attention.

I don't like them to rate players so high. I think the only person with the resume to be that high is Brady and I would like to see him at a 96.

Revis lined up against most the top WR's. He cover the left, right and slot and did it missing all off season workouts and with a bad hamstring.

Gates is better than more than just TDs though, you're trying to minimize the difference between the two to make your argument and it's just not the case. They're both very good, but on paper Gates is better.

I'm just saying Witten's catch should be in the high 90's not a flat 90. 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?
