Thanx for the tweet. I know you tweeted them about the broadcast cameras from last year being in and they said they were, but we still haven't seen any evidence. I hope they show off the fact that both are in soon.

Was thinking that maybe they could raise the threshold for the max in ratings. Like instead of it being 1-99 it could be 1-1000 or something maybe it could give a bigger differential between players.

Still shocked Newton is not on the list.. it looks like RGIII will get the top speed in Madden (FB poll), is he really gonna be the fastest qb in real life? Never really watched much of him. Just curious.

My Top 10 QB
1 Rodgers - GB 99
2 Brees - NO 98
3 Brady NE 97
4 E Manning -NYG 95
5 Big Ben - Pitt 93
6 P Manning Den 92
7 Schewb - HOU 90
8 Rivers SD 89
9 Newton - Car 88
10 Romo - DAL 87

EA will tweak ratings during preseason and before the game comes out right? If I am correct on that then what is the big deal with releasing ratings and freaking out about them?
Fact is they are way to high unfortunately. Not even sure why EA uses a 99 point scale if they are going to rate so many players on the high end.

How can anybody consider Cutler a top 10 quarterback? 13 TDs and 7 INTs with 58% passes completed. That is a top 10 quarterback? Cutler should be rated about a 79. Low 80s at the highest.

Stafford on the other hand, 41 TDs, 16 INTs and over 5000 yards passing with 63.5% passes completed. He should easily be 5 overall points better than Cutler at the absolute least.

I'd say that the 10 quarterbacks rated already should be:

Aaron Rodgers - 99
Tom Brady - 96
Drew Brees - 96
Peyton Manning - 91
Eli Manning - 91
Ben Roethlisberger - 90
Phillip Rivers - 88
Matthew Stafford - 87
Michael Vick - 85
Tony Romo - 84

and even on EA's crazy scale where everybody is a 90+, Eli Manning should still only be a 95 on their scale. 97 is a rating that should represent guys like John Elway and Dan Marino. Eli is maybe a hall of famer thanks to his super bowls but he is no Elway/Marino.

Cam Newton is not on that list because nobody knows if he was a one year stats wonder. As silly as that sounds anything is possible. Like look at vick two years ago compared to last year. It was like two totally different guys. Cam has another great year this year and you will see him on that list this time next year.

# 68 TheTruth437 @ 07/30/12 09:07 PM

EA needs to overhaul their (football) rating system; there are relatively minor differences between great players and bad players. I would suggest a letter grade rating system--instead of a numerical system--so that we can see more difference(s) between players.

# 69 N51_rob @ 07/30/12 09:15 PM

I guess they didn't get Joe Flacco's memo about being the best QB?

I'll be here all week.

Not the place for a "real" football talk, but Fred Jackson was a big part of that 5-2 start also.

Yeah, it didn't look too good but that could have been an early build (although I don't know why they would advertise this late with a beta build or whatever).

The demo will be out soon enough and will tell the tale.

I'm a skins fans so take this with a grain of salt, but RGIII ran a 4.35 and was on the Baylor track team. I think he is faster than Vick today. Maybe not when Vick first came out, but today I think RGIII is faster.

That said, these fan vote polls on ratings undermine the entire madden ratings. What research goes into these if "fans" can dictate some ratings. It's especially crazy to let them pick a rating like speed which is the end all be all in this generations madden.

Eli and Ben both have 2 Super Bowls, Rivers has never played in one...

By any metric, whether team accomplishments or individual production, Ben has outplayed Eli. Sorry that's just reality.

Oh, I mean "lol Giants fans"

# 75 N51_rob @ 07/30/12 09:39 PM

Let's go ahead and cut out the "lol ______ fans" comments. They are not needed to discuss these ratings. Thanks.

This is simply wrong with respect to Ben; Rivers had a lower passer rating last year, check your numbers chief

Oh are you the guy who uses the espn version when it suits? Your posts here make more sense now

# 77 Sublime12089 @ 07/30/12 09:52 PM

If I was doing it:

1. Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay Packers 98 overall
2. Drew Brees, New Orleans Saints 97 overall
3. Tom Brady, New England Patriots 97 overall
4. Eli Manning, New York Giants 94 overall
5. Peyton Manning, Denver Broncos: 93 overall
6. Ben Roethlisberger, Pittsburgh Steelers: 93 overall
7. Philip Rivers, San Diego Chargers: 90 overall
8. Matthew Stafford, Detroit Lions: 90 overall
9. Tony Romo, Dallas Cowboys: 88 overall
10. Michael Vick, Philadelphia Eagles: 87 overall

# 78 jmurphy31 @ 07/30/12 09:56 PM

My thoughts:

1. Releasing these now are only for marketing and to generate a buzz.

2. Why not release all the ratings not just overall. Also, why just the top 10. I'm actually more intrigued with what the lower tier QBs will be rated .

3. My wishes for stretched out ratings looks to be just a wish

4. I thought they said players will start lower than there actual OVR during franchise mode (Brady was a 90 in the one video). So why not talk about this some where on how it will work

5. The video didnt make thed game look good.

This thread is a Perfect example of why ratings are too subjective to be locked down and forced onto people.....NFL fans could debate this stuff for an eternity

Now people will be even more at the mercy of some frivolous popularity contest designed only to generate marketing buzz....

I absolutely hate how they treat this area of their game

Donny "I Love to Give Everybody a 90+" Moore and his ratings system needs a wake up call
