Madden NFL 12 Player Ratings - Top 5 Quarterbacks

[Steve_OS]

ESPN The Gamer has posted the Madden NFL 12 player ratings for the top 5 quarterbacks in the game.

Tom Brady - 99
Peyton Manning - 98
Aaron Rodgers - 98
Philip Rivers - 96
Drew Brees - 96

Are there any changes you would like to see, or are they just about right?

[Mike Smoove]

Cant really argue with it although Peyton should be a 99. Looks spot on though. Glad Rivers is getting the respect he deserves as that guy is game.

[Yeah...THAT Guy]

Looks ight to me although I think Rodgers and manning are just as good as Brady.

I'm so sick of seeing these inflated ratings. So after 3 years as a starter Rodgers can only get 1% better? Top 5 QB'S all above 95? Give me a break.

I completely agree. 5 QBs 96 or higher? That is crazy. Donny wants to make every fan happy aka making every team a little better than they are.

It would be nice for the ratings to reflect some perspective. For example, Manning is no longer at his best, I'd say he's playing around a 94 this far into his career. Rodgers is probably also around a 94 with a higher ceiling. Brady should be somewhere around a 97 because while he had a phenomenal season last year, he's not 2007 Brady which clearly was him at 99. I'd see the rankings something more like this:

Brady: 97
Manning: 94
Rodgers: 94
Brees: 94
Rivers: 92

I suppose overalls don't matter as long as their individual ratings are spot on.

TOUCHE!!!

This so called Guru Ratings specialist must have been paid a little extra to blow up these guys stats. If I were in charge of these ratings you would see players who actually have flaws in their games, and some realistic value. When will we have a game that proves players are human. These stats are the equivalent to the first time you ever created a player, and made yourself 99 at everything.

Brady: 96
Manning: 95
Rodgers: 93
Brees: 91
Rivers:89

I've said this once, and I'll say it again. The 99 rating should be used sparingly. Designated for the best of the best, cream of the crop! No one in the past 10 years should have been given the 99 rating. Maybe a 98 for Brady in his 16-0 run a couple years back!

I think if you bumped Rodgers up to a 95/96 those would be very fair ratings. Manning is coming off a rocky season by his standards and Rodgers just carried the Packers to a Super Bowl victory.
