Madden NFL 25 Ratings For Every Offensive Player

[MitchDaCr3ator]

My best guess is that they simply forgot to put in acceleration in the PowerPoint. I say this because during LeSean McCoy's rating reveal on Twitter they said he had 98 acceleration and Adrian Peterson had 99.

Opinions from a Biased Bills Fan:

As expected, Marquise Goodwin has some insane top-end speed and agility. I also see his Kick Return rating skyrocketing in the first roster update based on his preseason performance against the Colts. Only thing I disagree with is his Jump rating...dude was the best performer at the US Olympic Trials and could have won Gold in London had he repeated those numbers!

EJ Manuel rated one OVR point higher than G. Smith, and like Geno has lower awareness but great physical tools. Greater than expected speed rating for him as well, but lower than expected accuracy. Still looking forward to start the season with him! Hopefully Doug Marrone feels the same way... :P

Glad to see CJ Spiller, Stevie Johnson and even Scott Chandler getting some love. Robert Woods (70 OVR) is a bit lower than expected, but even he has some good physical tools. Should be a high-potential receiving corps.

More of why I simply hate the awareness rating boost. Make it just not count into the overall ratings or something.

They just try to lower down the ratings of certain guys by dropping AWR...I hate it

I agree with all of your assessments. Did you notice that Mario Williams somehow found his way on to the spreadsheet?? 92 overall... One thing that stuck out to me was Stevie's 85 speed. If I remember correctly it was an 89 speed before. I know he isn't the fastest receiver around but I don't know what he did in between the end of the season and now to lose 4 points there...

I would agree with you if that was the case with all rookies, but that's not how he does it. With just a tad bit of research, the rosters could be significantly better. For instance, he has our 4th round pick, Tyler Wilson, QB skills rated about even or even slightly better than our starter, Matt Flynn. If he would have read any kind of article or seen any kind of update about the Raiders training camp, he would know that Flynn has been just short of spectacular and that Wilson has been stinking up the joint. In fact, Wilson might not even make the team. He's the 4th string QB right now and there's a big gap between him and the 3rd string QB. By that same premise, he would know that Brice Butler has been tearing it up. He doesn't look tho. He recognizes Tyler Wilson's name from college so he makes him decent without looking at what's happening NOW. On the flipside, he doesn't recognize Brice Butler's name and he was a 7th round pick so he makes him rated very low without looking at what's happening NOW. I didn't expect him to be rated in the 80's or anything, but I did think he would at least be in the mid 60's. He definitely has more of a shot to make the team than those other WR's that are rated in the 60's on our team.

I remember that too. In fact, I was ready to draft him in my fantasy league as a sleeper(Glad I didn't tho lol). This just kinda proves my point tho. Baldwin had a horrible year, yet he's still rated a 73 ovr. I'm assuming because he was a 1st round pick. At this point tho, what round he was picked in should have nothing to do with ratings, but it obviously does because anyone else with just 20 catches is gonna be rated much lower than a 73. Once again, if he kept up with what's happening in training camp, he'd know that Baldwin hasn't made any noise in camp this year and that whispers of bust are starting to come up. He'd know that 73 is probably too high for him right now.

Titans fans or anyone. Did I miss something or where is Kendall Wright on the Titan's roster? He was not on the excel sheet I pulled up. I am sure it is just a mistake though as surely they did not somehow leave him off our roster, just our 1st round pick from last year who had a pretty decent to good rookie campaign.

Ratings ... Smatings.... Aside from the big 5.... No others mean anything anyway.

If we can do custom rosters to take into COM.... I'll be dropping EVERYONE by 8-10 PTA anyway. At least then they do feel a bit different and not just carbon copies of each other with different numbers.

Soooo many missing players on just about EVERY team. What a for crap roster to start with.
