I agree with others when I say that I'm shocked that Cameron Heyward and Muhammad Wilkerson isn't on this list. Brandon Graham and Oliver Verson are really good players but aren't deserving of 90s yet.

I guess they think he shed 20 lbs in the offseason lmao

Wilkerson is definitrly an odd omission

Don't all positions have a body type preset?

Does anyone think Brandon Graham's rating has to do with the fact the olbs (what graham was) move to DE tend to have jacked up ratings after they move?

Players in Madden are generally more solid and muscular in game than they are in real life. I want jelly roll physics!

Also, wonder if his duck face made it in as a signature style?

one of the biggest problems I have with Madden every year. I'd like to see a little more attention to detail when it comes to player builds, especially the d-lineman. They often look like DE's instead of the big fatties they actually are.

He's been a real challenge, I think it was the size of his head, I changed it recently, hopefully it solves the issue.

Where is Michael Bennett? Wasn't he rated a 96 on the last roster update? What changed? 292 pressures over the past four seasons, second only to Watt.

No Ziggy, Everson, and Wilkerson either? Come on now...

# 51 raiderphantom @ 07/30/16 06:34 AM

Ziggy is not a a consistent player but Michael Bennett not making it blows my mind. Overall ratings have been solid. But MB is like a top 5 DE every year. He is as consistent as they come year in and year out. Hopefully he's just below, that's the issue with a top 5. Doesn't look too bad if he's #6 or 7

# 52 raiderphantom @ 07/30/16 06:38 AM

Mo Wilk got injured guys. I'd expect him to take a slight hit from that. Ziggy Ansah was rated pretty low by PFF. Not a great every down player.

# 53 ortize7 @ 07/30/16 09:49 PM

Don't agree either, but I guess changes will be made through out the season

# 54 Find_the_Door @ 07/31/16 08:47 PM

Could've sworn Madden 07 on Xbox 360 had a pretty good representation of big bodied dlineman (they had a gut and everything).
