Madden NFL 12 Has Rated Four Players at 99. Overrated? Who Missed the Cut?


Donny Moore recently announced four players in Madden NFL 12 rated at 99. Are they overrated? Who do you feel should be rated this high?

Quote:

Brady is overrated in my opinion. I might be saying that because I HATE the Patriots. Also, Revis was hurt half the season last year. Why is he 99? I could also be saying this because I HATE the Jets too. I am a Giants fan so this could be why I am saying this...

Brady is fine considering he was the mvp last year and imo the best QB in the league right now. The other 3 I don't buy at 99's but hey that's just nitpicking at this point cause if not they are easily a 97 or what not

I guess with DPP it doesn't matter as much, but also because of it I don't think anyone should be able to be rated 99. Leaves little/no room for overachieving. Ratings are always relative to the season and the players who participated, but I think the standard should be that the very best players are ~90, leaving room for people to streak and excel if OVR is intended to be a general indicator of a player's ability at any given time.

Gates is good, but wouldn't have expected any TE to be 99. Also wouldn't have expected Polamalu at 99 after his dismal playoff run.

Ware is snubbed again. Witten is somehow lower than Gates? (to anyone not in the know click the link)

Awesome, a Steeler and a former Pitt Panther. I don't really think any of them are overrated. They are all among the best at their respective positions. I think nitpicking over ratings becomes somewhat irrelevant once you get over 95 anyways.

Witten is probably pretty highly rated, but I think your link makes a case that Gates was better, just didn't play a full season. It took 6 more games for Witten to be just 218 yards and 7 first downs better, and despite that Gates still had more TDs and more receptions for 20+ yards.

In the end if Witten was relied on as much as Gates was, I'd agree with you. He's not, so Gates is better, on paper and on the field.

They're all overrated -- Gates, especially, until he becomes a complete TE and blocks, shouldn't be close to 99. Although, I'm not too concerned that there are only 4 99s, it's that there are probably dozens more 98s and 97s.

What happened to the shift to lower overall ratings we were supposed to get a few years ago? I mean, really, how many perfect players has the NFL ever seen?
