Madden 2010 Ratings

The ratings for the new Madden are out.
Not much love for the Vikings. Man, they weren't very generous this year. I think that was one of their sticking points, though; the superstars will actually BE superstars. So yeah. I can't wait.
They're actually out for everyone, so here's the rest of the NFC North as well:
For those keeping score, Cutler is one point better overall that Rodgers. Just thought that was funny.
Vikings' QBs are terrible, though, so that's kinda funny at us too.
Sage is a 69 and Tarvaris is a 67. Ugh.
Favre, however, would of course be a 100 (sarcasm).

I understand
that they revamped the ratings system this eyar to make the real superstars, actually seem MUCH better than everyone else in the game, but some of these are ridiculous.
Our best linebacker is 83 OVR?
EJ Henderson is 80 OVR, tied with Cedric Griffin?!???
Ben Leber is a 66 OVR?
Chester Taylor 78 OVR??
Ryan Longwell, one of the best Kickers in the league is 81 OVR??
I’m extremely disappointed.
V-I-K-I-N-G-S! Skol Vikings, Let's Go!!
As usual...
There are things I disagree with. Leber seems low, but if you think that they basically left the Superstars and dropped about ten off of everyone else, it seems okay. That would make Tayler an 88, Henderson (who could be a Superstar this year…) a 90, Leber a 76, it makes me feel a bit better. Look at the rest of the North; they all have similar types of things as well.
I actually think it will work fairly well. I was disappointed with the Vikings’ offensive line; they seemed pretty low overall. Again, though, it is a product of their new system. I mean, think of using AP against any of the other defenses…they will get absolutely trashed.

Skol Vikings!
Woot Woot!
You know what I noticed? The Lions have a better LB Corps than we do in this game. How does that happen?
Yeah
Even with the new system Leber shouldn’t be a 66. The other guys are around 80, Leber should at least be 75 or so. They’ll definitely end up updating that come the regular season.
Not sure
I really like the idea of having significant differences between players for once. Before, players at a given position were only separated by about 15 points OVR top to bottom, creating the illusion that almost any rookie could become a Pro Bowler given adequate playing time for a year or two. This way, there will be certain players who are useful, but will clearly never close the gap and become a superstar. An alarmingly low number like 66 shouldn’t be so bad in a real game when going up against fullbacks or marginal OLs (or when covering a RB, FB or TE who isn’t a skilled receiver). I could understand 66 for Leber were his injury rating much lower, but it isn’t, so I agree with you a little bit.
On the other hand, TAHI IS AWESOME on Madden 2010!
Always interesting to look at.
I disagree with the linebackers, but five points of that has to be because of the rep the front line of the D has.
I’m kind of curious what effect awareness has on ratings, because check out the difference between Robison and Edwards…
NAME TM POS OVR SPD ACC STR AGL AWR STA TGH INJ JMP TCK CAT
R. Edwards MIN LE 75 74 86 76 75 67 72 70 91 67 67 35
B. Robison MIN RE 69 73 86 79 74 55 79 82 94 88 70 45
And yes, I still maintain that Robison should be the starting LE. Why do you ask?
When you go to somebody's house, you don't crap on their floor. Being a fan of one team does NOT give you license to be a dick to fans of another.
Damn auto deleting of spaces!
Just go look at them on the site.

For all you gamer nerds.
When does this come out?
I’m a gamer nerd too, I just figured someone might now without me having to take the time to go look it up.
"American made, White Trash raised, and Bad Ass engraved"
By the way
Gamer Nerd is a compliment in my book.

Personally
I think our linebacking core is way underrated and by the middle of the season we will see that their ratings will be significantly increased. Otherwise i already knew about the new ratings system and think most of the other ratings are fair.
LAKERS!!!!!!!!!!
Wow
They really weren’t generous at all with the ratings. I think last year after all the updates Griffin ended the season at 85. So for him to go down to 80 is questionable. I don’t like when video games use the “superstar style” of rating players. I think Sage and Jackson’s ratings are a little harsh too haha. I was disappointed that Rodgers is only an 86 after he ended the year as an 89 last year. Also Cutler one better then Rodgers? I would be interested to hear the explanation for that. Haha but this is just a video game, not like it’s real life or anything!
Yeah, most of the time the “superstars” are just getting along by reputation. For instance, Brian Urlacher is, I believe, a 96(? Too lazy to check) in the ratings as it stands. Which I don’t get. Granted, I don’t want the Bears’ games every week unless they’re playing us, but when I see Urlacher play, it really doesn’t strike me as superstar-status anymore. You could easily argue that Henderson and Barnett should be in the 90’s if Urlacher is.
O ya
I think Henderson and Barnett should be easily be in the 90s’. It’s clear that when their both playing and healthy there are 2 of the better MLBs’ in the league.

Don't forget Chad
Greenway who kept getting noted all season as being a possible Pro Bowler; he was rated lower than Leber who was hardly ever a factor last year. Greenway and Big EJ together, that could be real nice behind that line.
Leber Rocks!
I think he’s the most underrated member of the LB corps. He had enough speed and situational awareness to range from the front line out to lending assist to the secondary in bringing down WRs, I’m glad he’s with the Vikes.
How about T Jack
Compared to Rogers? Sure Rogers played the whole year but Jackson had a 95 QB rating where Rogers was mid to low 80’s, especially his last five or six games. He is still a bit raw, but come on, a 66 in accuracy and 67 in awareness? About ten lower in each that he should be. Even in a video game he can’t catch a break.
Haha ya I dunno about all that
Jackson had a QB rating of 95 in only like 6 games or something. Also keep in mind the teams he played against were all relatively weak on D. Jackson completed like 58% of his passes, that is pretty much horrible. That’s where the 66 in accuracy, and 67 in awareness come from. Rodger’s had like the 7th best QB rating last year or something like that. He was also top 7 in the other major passing categories. By no means in he even a little bit comparable to Rodgers.

Look at it on the Bright Side...The Bears Highest Reciever is rated 72 hahahahah
And it’s not even Hester bwahahaha
Seems like they really made the ratings a little more realistic so the great players will really standout. But EJ Henderson’s is VERY low
Seriously?
Sidney Rice has 94 injury? I don’t think he has been close to healthy more than 4 weeks in his 2 year career.
Didn’t I hear somewhere that Kleinsasser has like a 36" vert? 66 catch is a bit low for him as well, just because he is a blocking tight end doesn’t mean he has bad hands.
EJ and Leber are slower than Kevin Williams?
It’s almost as if they don’t actually take any real data, and just make stuff up as they go along.
Haha seriously
That is ridiculous!!! How could they ever even make EJ and Leber slower then Pat? They really must have just been making things up.

Does it bother anyone that Tahi and Chester have the same rating? Last I checked Taylor could at least get a few yards on the patented viking 3 yard dump pass on 3rd and 10, while Tahi…well not so much.
I wonder what Brett Favre's rating will be.
The media S’s his D so much that I would’t doubt if they threw him in with an incredibly high rating.
Can someone look and see what they put him at on the Jets last year?
"American made, White Trash raised, and Bad Ass engraved"
I believe
He was an 89 when he first came in. I think the highest he ever got was 92, and that was around Week 11 I think. I’m pretty sure his ratings went down though, because of his poor play.

Thanks!
Two months away and I’m already geeking out for this. Thanks for the post Manimal!
Pining Away
At least your E-game fix is coming out soon, I’ve been fiending for Gran Turismo 5 and there’s no light at the end of that tunnel, lol!
I dont like the ratings, but oh well
I wonder what Favre will be, but the look at the good side, if you are playing online and Cutler goes down, Hanie is a 45 LOL.
It seems everyone is down on all teams, so I guess it is alright
