Madden recognized that he doesn't really excel in one thing, he's just good at everything. Again, the speed MAY be a tad bit too high but in the demo on SLOW he felt right. RB Chester Taylor - no way he's elusive at ALL. From what I saw, when he ran the ball it was routinely 2 yards and a cloud of dust. Elusiveness needs to go DOWN, as well as BCV. The entire OL - If you remember last year's game against the Giants, they allowed 9 sacks by HALFTIME. If you saw the first preseason game, you'd know the line was in mid-season form. The best player on that line may be Gabe Carimi. Chris Williams is a bust, no wonder why he slid down teams' boards on draft day. Kreutz has been our best lineman for years but he's gone. Garza is a decent backup on most teams. Omiyale, J'Marcus Webb and Lance Louis are waiver wire and practice squad afterthoughts. I don't understand why they're even starting. No player on this line should be above 80, not even Kreutz. Bears' WRs. Knox is legit, but Hester isn't THAT good. I'd say a slight ratings bump down. Also for Bennett as well in terms of ACC and maybe speed. Also another note - Madden always switches around the Bears safeties. Every strrong safety on the roster is a FS, and every FS with the exception of Chris Conte and maybe Major Wright is a SS. I never understood this. One more, Jay Cutler's toughness is too low. I'd say around 85-95 is warranted; He's been sacked 87 times in the last two years, 9 times in ONE game (by halftime), and he's only missed ONE game: The game after which he got sacked 9 times. And yeah, he got hurt in the NFC Championship game, he had torn ligaments, so what. 75% or regular people can't even walk on a sprained ankle. People fry him for coming out, they forget he came in for a series or two with the injury before the coaches MADE him come out. Cutler only 72 toughness? Bears O-Line getting shown unnecessary love? Safeties STILL at wrong positions?

About Forte a lot of people don't realize this because he is a bigger HB, but he is more of a speed back then a power back. He's not blazing fast so I think they got him about right.

Chris Williams has been overrated since the start of madden 11 and when they moved him from LT to LG it made his overall go up because of the wonderfully perfect overall system they have.

The reason the Safetys are all mixed up is because the Bears move them back in forth a lot in their system. In the Bears tampa two system the two safety positions are almost the same. The only Safety that is wrong now is Chris Harris is now a SS, but that move just happening this preseason.

Forgot Pettigrew, definitely underrated at an 81.

Maybe I'm just a huge Bears fan but why is Hester's catch rating so low? His awareness should be down but he didn't drop a lot of passes last year and he made some pretty spectacular catches at times throughout the season.

Dear Avid Panthers Fan,

Hope he catches every pass past the first down line, or he won't make it
