Anyone know when they are going to release the player ratings? Very interested to see what they give Chad Henne.

IDK about the full player ratings, but I do know that the top 8 players at each position are out.

Marshall is a 96 (3rd best WR)
Jake Long is a 96 (2nd best LT)
Vernon Carey 86
Lousaka Polite 91 (2nd best FB)
Starks 89

It's a joke that Bell, Dansby and Carp are not in the top 8 at their position.

Dansby and Carp maybe... but Bell??? Eh, not so sure about that... I'm itching to play the new Madden... have watched quite a few videos and they've pretty much refaced the game this year.

PZ. You're telling me Bell isn't even an 84 overall? There is no way Bell isn't even an 84 when these guys are rated as high as they are:
L. Landry - 87
T. Branch - 86
J. Leonhard - 85
B. Pollard - 84

Landry is awful. Branch...who? Leonhard is a 3rd down/nickel-dime safety at best, and Pollard sucks too.

YB went to the Pro Bowl last year...

Madden always has a few guys rated so far out of whack that it becomes laughable. I brought up Henne because last year he was rated worse than Pat White and several other QBs which was ridiculous.

Bell is pretty good, but I think a low 80s rating is about right. I agree that others shouldnt be as high as you pointed out.

By the end of the year he was rated much higher than White. I suspect he'll be an 80 or an 81 as he was a 79 to finish up this year.

I also agree that those others should have lower ratings, who the heck is Branch?, but a low 80's rating seems right for Bell.

I dont hook it up to the internet so I had no idea that all changed. I still have my good ol' PS2 and no internet hookup near by. Maybe I should get with the times.

You should. The team was so much better by the end of the year. Starks is a 93 at DT. Wake is a 88 at DE with a 90 something finesse move. Donald Thomas was a 88, but moved back down to a 84. Jake is a 95. Ginn has like a 61 catch, lol.

Changed a lot. Sure there were other significant ones I forgot.

My question would be when you start up a new season do those internet rating stay locked in or do they change as the player changes in real life? Your progress isn't effected by real life poor performance, correct?

You mean in franchise mode? Right. Ratings aren't effected by that stuff. Just when you start a new franchise the player ratings are what they are online.

I hardly play Franchise mode. I just do online or ultimate team.

Thanks for the update.

You sound like a Dolphins fan...
Bell is good. Not great, not spectacular, not flashy...good. 84 is about right. Landry probably is more of a 75, but as much as it pains to praise a Badger and a Jet, Leonhard is pretty dang good. He has a nose for the football, is quick and just plays tough. He's 5'8'' but you wouldn't know it just watching him. Pollard is better than you give him credit as well.
