Madden ratings for saints are out!!!! (1 Viewer)

[mony_b22]

Hey guys the ratings are out for the saints and i'm sad to say that they werent that good on the defense, but for good reason. A couple of weeks ago they were rating that were on a board and they werent official and i stated that they weren't official. Sadly, most of those rating were dead on if not very close. The rating won't be organized on ign.com for a couple of days but you can go on 1up.com on a spreadsheet and get them. You will have to search for them though since it is a massive list of EVERY player on the game. We had some individuals on defense that didn't get no love even though they were up and down last year.. Luckily roster updates if they play well will change that. For the most part on offense they were good. The only noticeable one was evans. He was and 84 last yr as well as this year. Stinchcomb went from 79 to 82????? Brees and company were about right. Colston got hooked up 94!!!! Not going to name them all.... Here ya go Gentlemen and Ladies. Look for excell spreadsheet on page.http://www.1up.com/do/feature?cId=3168217

Dare I say again, Madden's ratings are too high. The average player should top out in the 60s, and 90s should be EXTREMELY rare. There's no way a player who has NO 99s in his skills should be a 99 overall, yet this happens all the time (at least it did on previous Madden games)

I disagree, that is how numbering system works 90's excellent, 80's good 70 average and so own. Yes you may say that it is alot of 90 and it is but when you avg. per team. Some teams have more then others but those 90 are IMO worth it. In any number system, especially grade wise, 60 is BAD.
Those rating are right,biased on some players, but if you are talking about grades by number you are going against the grain in any and every numerical category of grading in our society. Now player BEING 99 i will agree with even 97-99 overall. Should only be for the best at there positions and then a slight drop off ,but for example. P.Manning 99, no argument, L. Tomlinson 99, no argument and etc. You have to throw in the human factor, these rating are human gauge which always will have somebody disagreeing or not in favor of a rating.

I find it funny that they have demarcus ware as the best OLB at 98. He's good, but i can name a few better than him, merriman for one.

I am waiting for Madden 09 to get released. I love playing Madden.

Taylor Melhoff is ranked ahead of Olindo Mare by a hair... 79 overall...

I hate the Madden rating system.
Too many overrated/underrated players.

I disagree with it because it should be more engaging to actually build up players.

If you're going to use the educational system's grading standards, you're already taking the wrong approach to countering my point.

Follow me.

You have to rank the players from 0-100 on every aspect of their game. This is different from, say, the NCAA series, which starts off at 40 (and thus, higher averages are expected; a problem largely offset by 1) the limited time given to build up a player and 2) the knowledge that only a small amount of its players will port to the NFL title). Therefore, there is more room to USE when it comes to ranking players. The ceiling doesn't always have to be 99, just as I am not advocating that the worst players score zeros at their positions. But this is one of the few things I felt Head Coach got right.

This also makes too many of the inane position switch/boosts possible. For example, that MLB that's a 73 overall but has decent speed, 78ish strength, and can tackle worth a something gets moved to RE, BAM, he's now an 88.

Free agency also gets uglied by the high ratings - I had one seson where EVERY WR was a 77, and a separate season where EVERY FS was a 79. These things need to be better spaced to keep from bunching up so badly in the middle.

Merriman is not a more complete lineback than Ware, sorry not buying it. Merriman had more sacks in 2006, but he also got busted for roids. Ware beats him in tackles every year, he beat him in sacks last year, and he's the better pass coverage LB

These are the ones I wanted to see....

Ellis - 84

Tracy Porter - 74
Gay - 82
Usama Young - 70
McKenzie - 89 (We Need Him Week 1)

Fujita - 84 (Too Low - 86 or 87)
Vilma - 91 (Lovely)
Shalne - 80 (Suspect)

Bullocks - 81
R. Harper - 79
K. Kaesviharn - 81

Asante Samuel - 96 (Thank god we didn't sign him!)

The Rankings in Madden are always very accurate and according to them our secondary looks just average.

 

[Albi]

Will Smith - 90
Charles Grant - 87
Thomas Hollis - 80 (Ellis could be replacement)
Young - 85

Doesn't seem too off to me. At least reasonable. Of course as the season goes on hopefully some of those numbers will bump up with good play.
