Back on topic. Stop the back and forth bickering.

It's a video game, I really don't even notice those things. I'm old school though, as long as the game is fun none of that stuff matters to me. I wonder what you would have thought of Madden 94 and the like.

So I don't think the ratings are overdone at all from what I'm seeing.

The thing that bothers me with the spread is that there is not a big difference between the 1st tier elite QBs and the 2nd tier very goog QBs. There is a much larger difference in the skill between Eli and Brees than 1 OVR. If Brees and Brady are 98, then Eli, Ben, and Romo should all be around a 92, still very good, but far enough away from the elite players that there is a noticable difference in who is good and who is great

O/U 14.5 days before we all bitch at Donny Moore for putting together awful ratings

Under. More like O/U 14.5 minutes. The edit player complaint threads are going to absolutely explode again come release day.

Based on what happened Matt Cassel between M9 and M10, Matt Flynn should be at an 88 or 89 this year, smh.

# 107 Gaycandybacon @ 07/31/12 01:57 AM

The Spread is just fine. Every QB will have their Strengths and Weaknesses. Just because they're 90 plus OVR doesn't mean they will always hit their target, or throw 60 yard bombs down the field. Some players can throw on the run better than others.. Some players have better arms than others. Some are more accurate than others in certain aspects of the field (Short, Medium, and Deep). Also, other ratings make the player rated higher. Like speed strength, acceleration, etc. etc. etc. Do you think Tim Tebow is rated the way he is cause he can throw the football? HELL NO! He has all those attrubutes of a HB as well... so his rating is boosted.

Give these ratings a chance. Remember, the Overall rating of a player doesn't tell the whole story.

Madden 94 was released for what, the Super Nintendo or something? Flash forward, and some people find Madden frustrating and boring to play, and many people criticize the game for not being what EA constantly describes it as: "The most Authentic NFL game" "True to the NFL" "What you see on Sundays" The "fun" part of the game is nice and all, and it can still be achieved through realism. Times are changing. I don't want a game that looks like crap and plays like crap, because that wouldn't be fun. We still have arcade style games anyways. Hell, what am I saying, Madden pretty much is EA's own arcade version of the NFL.

This
I think Madden really needs to step it's game up in the area of gameplay and being as authentic as it can possibly be to the nfl.

LOL Vick and his 18 TD's 14 INT's 59.8 completion percentage and 10 fumbles....

Should be ahead of Romo's 4,184 yards 31 TD's 10 INT's 66.3 completion percentage and 6 fumbles, 4th best passer rating in the league, 3rd best completion percentage in the league (ahead of Brady).

Hell Vick is incredibly fortunate to even be on this list! Romo should be ahead of Rivers and Big Ben!

# 111 kd25 @ 07/31/12 03:16 AM

There needs to be a big gap between the top 3 QBs and the rest

no way in hell should Roethlisberger be 95 if Brees is 98. it's just stupid. dude averages 20 TD per year and had just 21 last season

Brees has two 5,000 yard seasons
Roethlisberger has two 4,000 yard seasons

they shouldn't be close at all.

# 112 kd25 @ 07/31/12 03:29 AM

Even if Chewbacca was doing Peyton's neck surgery and accidently put his head on backwards I'd take him over Eli every day of the week.

# 114 stlpimpmonsta @ 07/31/12 05:17 AM

Fun fact: Alex Smith has a 5 - 2 record against those QBs. Where is his 99?!

I still think Eli is more clutch then his brother and if I had one drive to win the game I would go with Eli.

The Aaron Rodgers video made me laugh as they showed him carving up the Giants. They should have showed Tuck and Osi sacking his arse lol.

GMEN for a repeat in 2012/2013!

As for the ratings, why do people suggest dropping someone 1-2 points? It makes absolutely no difference. I think the top 5 QBs should be in the 90s, 5-10 in the 80s and go from there.

This is where I liked All Pro Football better. I know there were numbers behind the abilities but these debates are really meaningless when playing the game.

# 116 Gaycandybacon @ 07/31/12 07:34 AM

Alex Smith by himself?

# 117 AirJordanFan93 @ 07/31/12 08:25 AM

Good to see Rodgers get 99 then again im a Packer fan. Ben getting a 95 is a shock. Nice to see Eli get some respect.

# 118 jmurphy31 @ 07/31/12 11:11 AM

I don't understand the thought process behind the ratings and I wish EA would take some time to actually discuss the process. Are they based on stats for just last year or over a few years. Looking just at the QB list given, Eli gets a huge bump because of one stellar year ( a year ago he had over 20 picks). But Big Ben and Rivers both had sub par years compared to their past and they barely move down. In the past look how long it took LaDainian Tomlinson, Chris Johnson, etc to drop into the 80's.

All of us know ratings are subjective, but show us who makes up the ratings (can't be Donny alone, can it) and how they come up with them.

# 119 brandon27 @ 07/31/12 11:39 AM

A 90 for Romo? That seems a bit too high to me. Anyways, whatever, ratings are something I'm sure we could all argue about every day of the week. That one just really stood out to me as being overly high. For as well as he can play, he sure can stink it up with the best of them. For a guy like that, I don't see an OVR of 90 being appropriate. Maybe 86 or so. Oh well, whatever.

Slooow down there my friend. Cam Newton had a great season, but 89 overall..? It's only his second year. I'd have him at about 81-82.

Stafford should be above Rivers on any list. Rivers took a step back last year, where as Stafford went two steps forward. Eli above Peyton as well.. For obvious reasons.
