Official Madden 09 Ratings

[Oaf]

Here they are, all players. We got some respect this year but l think I'll be tweaking a few players yet. Surprisingly accurate assessments by EA if you ask me.

Who you going to start?

McKelvin or Greer? (I think I'll be making Greer slightly better and McGee slightly worse)
Simpson or Wilson? (I may actually go with Wilson)
DiG or Poz? (Not as clear cut as you may think)
(Dare I say it?) Losman or Edwards? JP has 4 up on strength, more speed, but 7 down on accuracy.



Steve Johnson has solid ratings for a 7th rounder. KiWi got respect. I may improve Jackson a bit, and maybe Reed's catching.

I'm not Madden savvy but isn't this upcoming season 2008 ?

Don't they go a year out?

For some reason the Madden games are always a year in advance in the name. Not sure why exactly.

[BuffaloBillsStampede]

I dont know why, but I dont see a link to anything?

[casdhf]

I don't either.

[Jan Reimers]

Things must be a lot different in Madden, because in real football, Poz is a much better player than DiGiorgio.

[The Spaz]

Link?

[madness]

No link for those who care?

[Dujek]

Have a link then. Google is your friend.

Bc when the playoffs and super bowl are completed, it will be 2009. The Giants are the 2008 Super Bowl Champs

Things must be a lot different in Madden, because in real football, Poz is a much better player than DiGiorgio.

Based on what exactly?

Seriously I don't hate Poz, but for a guy that played a grand total of two nfl games some of you think he is Brian freaking Urlacher. Why don't we see if he can at least stay healthy for half of the season first before we annoint him a superstar.

At least Madden is being fare and ranking him no better than The Digi at this point, although I do disagree and think The Digi should be rated at least 90.

Wow, I haven't seen this much love since the 90's!

why do you develop man crushes on back up players?

Based on the 2 plus games that Poz played, as a raw rookie, and was among the league leaders in tackles versus the 13 plus that DiGiorgio - a second year guy - played and got pushed all over the field.

Don't get me wrong. DiGi is a good, high effort guy who is an effective backup. Poz is simply bigger, stronger, faster and more instinctive.

What I don't understand is your absolute disdain for Poz.

No mancrush homes - just respect and admiration for all the young up and coming playmakers we have on this team.

Let's just see what happens - last year The Digi outplayed Poz in camp and I expect an even more fierce and intense battle this year.

Again - I don't hate Poz, I just feel that he has injury issues and was overrated coming out of college.

I LOVE THESE RATINGS!!! Some of my random thoughts on the subject:

I'm so gonna kick ass with the Bills in Madden and MIKEMAC will be my first victim!

They got Stroud at a 94 - probably a little too high but I'll take it.
Fred Jackson is only a 79 overall.
DiGi should be higher rated than Poz but I understand why they made the two rated the same.. They probably figure that most fans would prefer to have Poz in the starting role versus DiGi..

JASON PETERS HAS ARRIVED!!! 97 overall, very nice.

both Losman and Edwards are rated 79 overall.. (lol)

Langston Walker and Butler got ****ed over, imo. Those two linemen (I think) deserve to be rated in the low 90's. Most people don't know this but Lynch actually had way more success running on the right side of the OL and not the left side.

Whitner is rated a 92 and deservingly so, he is developing into one of the hardest hitting safeties in the NFL. He has surpassed Michael Huff who was taken a spot higher.

Moorman had a bad season but he should still be rated higher than that.

First off I agree with everything that you said BUT One comment....fred jackson is lower bc no one knows about him

And don't leave out the speed we have at WR hardy could be 6'6 on game but better be atleast 6'5 thats a huge WR with 93 spd im already drooling

2nd Ellis has 82 spd at end which i like ( i glanced so may be wrong) also TE has good stats but his AWR sucks which isn't that big of a deal when your playing

i think ovr the team is playable and can win against people...once the game is out my first week is gonna try to find glitches with hardy....and thats just bc i want to win the tournament with the bills and it would be sweet to

Don't like anderson not on the roster he is a big weapon also

i think this year with the speed with have at WR the perfect plays with be drags or slant/drags (little deeper not a sharp cut) and double move fake slant to out or fake in to out
