Right! He's not even in the top 5 Wide Receivers. Not including tight ends. Wes Welker is tied with roddy white for the 5th highest WR with 93 overall. So Larry Fitzgerald will be below a 93. He was a 97 in madden 13 and was the second highest WR. Shame isn't it? Donny Moore had said in some podcast that they didn't really punish Larry because he had horrible quarterback play. Clearly they did

I know. JP posted a link of a picture with Michelle Beadle with a green screen. He was thinking she might be in madden 25, but it was probably for this video.

What is AJ Green rated?

I knew it was coming. The inevitable ratings wars. This should be fun, i'll even throw my little rant into the mix..

How is Peyton Manning not rated a 112!!?!? After the season he had last year, he's clearly a 112.

Not sure why people pay so much attn to ratings every year, specifically overall ratings. Most of the time guys are going to be overrated after coming off a hot year. IIRC wasnt Peyton Hillis like an 89 or 90 when he was on the cover LMAO

It's more than just overall, at least to me. It's that Madden(and so called "Czar", which is great when FBGrating is a thing with scouts rating players) overrates all the stats. I'm waiting to see how Peyton's Throw Power is because his arm isn't what it used to be, and Madden probably won't really mess with it.

For the overall thing, Madden 13's last update had like 150 or so players that were 90+ (FBGratings has only seven elite players now, which is realistic), that's nearly three teams of all 90+ players, which is just dumb. 90+ should be for only elite players and there aren't 150+ that are elite. Matt Ryan(despite how much I like him) isn't an elite QB like Rodgers or Brady. Any stat that is 90+ should mean the player is elite at that particular thing (pass block/throw power/man coverage/etc.) but Donny Moore just throws ratings off of just stats(like Aldon Smith having a huge spike in ratings because of his giant sack totals, but only being an elite pass rusher doesn't make you great. It didn't help that when Justin Smith went down, Aldon performed worse.) It needs to be a combo of stats/scout research/numbers from combine and what not, not just stats.
