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

[Bolt4Life24]

Gates was on pace to crush the TD record for TEs, which he set, before tearing his foot. It's a shame.

Nhamdi Asomugha should be 99. Revis should be 95. Antonio Gates? Seriously? put him at 93. I guess Troy is a 99, sure. Brady should be a 99, not a big time Pats fan, but he had a great year.

Nnamdi is an excellent player, and IMO should be a 98 if Revis is a 99.

The reason that Revis sees more passes his way is because he follows the opponents top weapon no matter where he lines up (left, right, slot, etc.) so if you want your best player involved you have to go through Revis (just ask Reggie Wayne in the playoffs - 1 catch for 1 yard!).

As great a player as Aso is, to avoid him you just line up your top WR on the opposite side of him and its as easy as that. Revis plays straight man to man the majority of the time without any help over the top and will cover you in the slot and/or either side of the field where as Aso is limited in that regard.

Again, not taking anything away from Aso as he and Revis are the ONLY 2 true shutdown CBs going today, just IMO (and plenty of others from GMs to analysts to current players and coaches) Revis is slightly better overall.

Manning is not 99? Still put up elite numbers even though his O-line would have had trouble starting for most colleges.

Anyway, there's a lot that goes into the NFL draft, why should it not be reflected?

the problem with this system is there are no first round busts or late round gems.

id say set a max as far as how high any rookie can be. and i think 77 is the highest. which is good considering in season progression.

and have a scale for what u can expect from most of the rounds. but they are not limited to that range. otherwise it takes the fun out of drafting. if u can draft a future tom brady in the 6th round. that cant happen if they are only rated 49 no matter what....

i can't see how there'd really be too much of a problem with these ratings, these are all elite guys at their positions. my only thing is Manning being left off and even then, he's not more than a point away.

WTF are you smoking? Chris Cooley? Gonzalez at the top? I will give you Gates over Witten, but you are high.
