I must have explained it wrong. I'm not talking about the player and team ratings, but how they actually rate them. I think they came out with a new way to rate the players and teams last year, forget exactly. It makes it harder for someone to be 100 and stuff.

I was wondering if they were keeping that system or doing a new one.

absolutely agree with this. EA is killing Madden. 2K sports was far superior.

2k FOOTBALL games were always garbage on comparison to Madden. ... especially the game play... some of the ratings are wack but most hold true. . We.ll be fine once the season rolls around

Agreed. I never got the hype about 2k5.

Not that Madden doesn't have it's flaws, but I think it's improved in recent years especially '10. It's the first Madden in a while that has held my interest all year long.

It's like the fans of other inferior products...people like them (or claim to) because they're an alternative to the big, bad, rich, successful corporation.


Madden will always be the top game. Many have tried to make a better game and failed miserably.

However, they need to get the game back on PC. We can't live on nerd-created roster and artwork updates forever!

I think it's actually higher than what i expected it to be. I remember when the Lions were a 67 overall after a winless season the year before, and thought it was fair.

I look at our whole team currently, and see about a 70....being brutally honest here guys.

By the end of last season the team was in the 80's so I wouldn't sweat these initial rankings too much. They improved +6, more than anyone else, so I think that's more than fair.

Without Haynesworth our defense and overall rating will drop significantly.

With Haynesworth....he seems to be in the high to mid 80's. They screwed McNabb they lowered him as well he is no longer a 90 like once reported.

When I think about McNabb for madden this year, I think he should be an 85.

Mark Brunell was an 85 in Madden 06, and that was coming off a great year in 2005. I think thats fair with this year's McNabb.

The only problem i have with that is if you give the man a 90 rating as a Eagle when he becomes a Redskin why does he drop? It seems to me that EA believes when you go to the Redskin your production drops. 85 is a cool rating with me even tho JC was a 84 at the end of last year.

The rating system is different than it was a few years ago. They used to overrate everyone. Brunell would have been more like an 80 using the system they have now.

McNabb is coming off a good season, his highest QB rating since 2006. Not sure why his rating should drop very much at all. The ratings change through the year though, so the initial ratings are just that, a starting off point.
