Madden NFL 13 Ratings - Top 10 Receivers/Tight Ends

[Benz87]

I just don't understand why EA rates every player so highly. So Calvin Johnson and Aaron Rodgers who are both rated 99 OVR this year have peaked their talent level? There is no way for these athletes to improve their overall play? and if they have maxed out the possible talent level at these positions it must make them the greatest of all time, it is not possible to be any more talented than these players.

Every year we have the same complaint, I just can't comprehend EA's logic with their rating system.

There's no way in hell that they maxed out their talent. You're speaking like they're perfect.. Just because they're 99 OVR doesn't mean they can't improve. Hell if they have a bad season their Rating will decrease, then they can improve from that season. That's one way of looking at it. If they have a great season, I'm sure that their ratings won't go up high at a substaintual rate.. But some of their ratings will be improved like their catch, acceleration for Calvin and Accuracy, play action etc. for Arod.

Thinking the same thing, as it shows his YPC his first two years at 19.4 and 21.0 is basically running deep routes it would seem. He may have been a better all around receiver in 2011, but early on he was the teams deep threat used to take the top off the coverage.

Agreed. Just because these two are already 99 overall doesn't mean they can't improve in certain areas of the game. As long as they don't have max stats in everything then I don't see this as a problem.

Even if you project Nicks' stats to one more game, he still loses in every category. Cruz had more YPC, more catches per game, and more yards per game, more TD per game, etc. Cruz only started 7 games and put up ridiculous stats.

These aren't historical ratings. These are based on what they did last year.

Yes, it does. This isn't based on a body of work, it is based on last year.

And the playoffs? I see you ignored that to focus on what strengthens your argument. Cruz did have a great year though no denying that. I've watched enough coaches film to see that teams were clearly rolling coverage over to Nicks' side of the field opening things up for Manningham and Cruz.

You are talking about 3 games out of a whole season.
