Reed 99.......Polamalu 98......lol. How about we switch those ratings around?

No Heath Miller in the top 13? Pffff...

Ben a 92? Right....guess they missed the Indy and Denver playoff games. More like 95-97.

Overall I think they did a decent job...of course they overrated the Ravens as usual and Randy Moss, but not too bad.

My biggest concerns are the rookies: Reggie Bush an 88? Wow. And Vernon Davis with 92 speed and 92 acceleration as a TE? That's crazy even though it's probably true.

Yeah, Bush at 88 is pretty high. Between 80-85 seems more accurate.

But as usual, no love for the Steelers. I know one thing, I'll take Ben over Palmer, Hasselbeck, McNabb, Culpepper, Delhomme, Brees and Green. QB ratings, Heath Miller not even cracking 88, Polamalu below Reed and Reggie Bush being pimped to an 88 are my beefs.

Also, I would put Ward at 97-98. But they always underrate Ward, because he doesn't cause a disturbance in locker rooms and doesn't run his mouth while not backing it up when it counts. Typical.

R.lewis 98

Yeah...maybe in 1998...

Good point.

Or wait, haven't you heard? Ray has Ngata now. That will now make Ray stop aging and he will become the force he once was.....

When EA does player ratings they don't just say "OK, this guy should be a 98 overall he was pretty good last year." They do it more by changing the individual attributes and this reflects on the player's overall rating. The fact that players like Chad Johnson are very fast and agile gives them rating boosts over players like Hines Ward...not to mention the stats they put up. There isn't really an "intangible" attribute for players like Hines Ward, Ben Roethlisberger.

That being said, I would put Ward at 95, Ben at 94, Willie at 88, Heath at 85, Chad at 97, Carson at 95, Rudi at 92, TJ at 89. Just my opinion.

Not saying that's how they should rank them. Ben won the Super Bowl last season and played damn good in the playoffs. 92 is an insult. For the record, it wasn't just one season, his rookie year alone should make that 92 higher.

Ward who has always been a damn good WR and recently a Super Bowl MVP should be tad bit higher than 94. Hence I would put Ward between 96-98. But, he doesn't run his mouth like a prick, fight with players and coaching staff during the big game and feels the need to put his face in front of any camera in a 200 mile radius. Basically he's not one of the many a-hole WR's that the NFL loves to pimp. Like I said, they underrate the guy every year.

K2 over Heath Miller?!?!?!?!?! LOL.

Just my opinion.

i agree you said what i pretty much wanted to say in my big thread.

I swear sometimes there's a Madden conspiracy against the Steelers!! It's like Madden himself is in charge of the ratings and is still whizzed off about the seventies. If you compare the ratings this year, they are much better only because we won the SB. Otherwise we probably wouldn't have anyone over 95. It's a travesty for players like Hines who are consistently the best in real life, only to be hosed in Madden.

I'm betting there are more important things to Hines Ward than his Madden ratings, but fair is fair!!!
