I did what Beadle told me to, but I can't find the team-by-team offensive ratings at easport.com/madden like the said.

Yet another woman whose words are nothing but lies.

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?

# 12 Gosens6 @ 08/15/13 07:35 PM

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.

A strong-armed QB can get deeper throws to receivers faster, helping avoid interceptions and incompletions. *Did you Know: The THP takes into account the weather conditions when determining the power behind throws. The wetter the conditions, the less power your QB�s will have behind their throws.*

"A strong-armed QB can get deeper throws to receivers faster, helping avoid interceptions and incompletions."

Yep, because Brett Farve being a strong-armed QB(or Jay Cutler) helps them avoid picks with their arm. Come on EA, really?

It wasn't because of their arms that they threw so many interceptions, it was their decision making. Cutler and Favre also make some downfield throws and throws in traffic that other quarterbacks could only dream of. Their arms helped them avoid throwing more interceptions than they did. Their decision making is the reason for the interceptions.

Yes, but Madden acts like having a strong arm QB will solve all problems. It's a lot more than just being strong armed to prevent INTs. Chad Pennington didn't have a good strong arm, but was smart with the ball. Hell, even having a strong arm can make you overthrow the ball and cause incomplete passes. So, Madden acting like having that strong arms. If it did, JaMarcus Russel would still be a starting QB. Hell, even getting a ball faster, usually means a less arching throw, which can be a bad thing for some receivers in making where only the WR can get it.

I believe the article even says that THA is more important than THP

They say something along those lines. So I don't think they mean THP as a "Solve all problems"

But THP does effect bullet passes. And THA effects how often you throw the pass perfectly. Which usually leads to YaC. Also THP has a huge effect on deep passes (especially for CPU qb). In that it gets the ball there quicker and you can still rainbow it. ( think of sneaking it in between safeties on cover 2/3)
