This could be fun to discuss.
Madden Ratings - ESPN
Wish they were a little more up to date with the Mike Brown signing and such, but it'll be fixed by week 1 probably.
Thigpen and Charles were screwed over.
Bradley's injury rating is laughable.. it should be one of the lowest in the game. Somehow Zach Thomas is much lower.
It's IS pretty interesting. I'm getting Madden 10 on PS2, so it'll be excting to have all the new players.
Ouch. EA sports does not have much in the way of faith in the Chiefs in 2010. Thigpen is 66 overall?!
Wow, we got screwed over majorly.
I think the ratings are pretty accurate for a team that went 2 and 14. There is no reason to make any players with ratings in the 90's after a season like that. But the nice thing is Madden updates as the season goes on, so if all goes well everyone will be rated higher by the time we have to buy a new game.
Yea, it's the developers use a what did you do last season mentality, I think they have a set number in mind for the Chiefs and alter players to get that number, no matter if it reflects real value and talent or not. If the Chiefs have a miracle season they'll be upper 80's next game, even if there aren't many personel changes.
Hold on guys, you have to realize that this is a whole new rating system. The difference between the great players and the average players are now gapped significantly. Everybody who has saw their team so far, thought that they were screwed over. Now, ours arent great, but once again, its a different scale. Before, your third wide receiver would be a 78 and your 1st would be a 89. They wanted people to be able to notice the difference. There is alot that has changed about Madden and I like all of it. Take a glance at some other teams and you'll see what I m talking about.
I should have mentioned that the overall rating structure is lower. I did think that Leggett and a few others got the shaft! Thats alright, I have XBOX live, so my rostes download and change weekly. By week 4 hopefully Im playing with a much higher ranked team.
Do they provide updates through live that alters the rating through the season at all? Or is it just the new players/transactions that might change the rating?Quote:

If Cassell's accuracy is 62% 3 weeks into the season, than his accuracy on the game will go up. If alot of our players got better than our overall team rating would be better. My bet is that D-Bowe is rated 95 by the end of the season.Quote:

This thread is now about Colquitt dude.
Get with the program.
Wow, IMO, Flowers, Carr, and Colquitt really got the shaft. Those guys are much better than that stupid rating. I think Thigpen should be in the low 70s and Cassel should be in the mid 80s.
On the opposite side of the spectrum, they gave our O-line too much credit! Waters is still very good, but 94?! I'd take that down to 90ish. Sackintosh got in the 70s?! That's a joke.
I agree with all of that:bananen_smilies046:Quote:

I wish we still had Wiegmann.
No they don't but how many of us did 6 months ago? LMAO!Quote:

Maybe he should be 70 or a little higher but that would be a stretch to me.
Good Question.Quote:

I know I used the Ravens a few times and there were games when McNair was like a God and then games when he threw 4 pics and over threw several balls.
All in all, I would not say Thiggy got screwed over. He just really needed to have this year as a starter, which ain't gonna happen! LOL!
Great game to play though!
Does the PS3 update the same way?Quote:

It's not gonna matter what ratings are for the chiefs this year...I'm gonna dominate with them in the madden 10 just like I did in madden 09!! Anyone that wants a match on PS3, send me a message! Go Chiefs!!
Welcome to the Crowd!
