Mid Season Madden Mayhem
 

That 89 that EA Sports gave to Dre Bly got you down a few months ago?
Well, now that were in the second half of the season, its fair to say that they probably should have been a bit more harsh, because Dre sucks. If EA were to release Madden '10 right now, what would your team look like?

Take the time to rate your team's key players, trying not to be a homer. If you must be homerish, please. Explain why. Also, put in Bold your team's Key Players.

I'll cover the Denver Broncos

Wow this just made me realize that I still haven't really played the new madden outside of dorking around at best buy while my family picked out some movies. I can't remember the last time I wasn't sick of madden by September because I played it too much. I'm getting old.

oh god people actually do care

I'd rank all of the Lions players between a 59 and a 70.

What happened to Kevin Smith?

Calvin Johnson should be the only player given a 100 just because he has to rot in Detroit.

Way too soon for this imo.

Asomugha 99 everyone else not so good.

eidt. Im bored waiting for UFC 91 to start, haha.

NFL players care. EA has actually gotten calls from players about their ratings of players before.

Some major homerism going on here. 4 99-rated Redskins? I think not.

What makes you think Asomugha will be in Oakland for Madden '10?

Madden's stock ratings suck, there is no way that on a 1-99 scale that there are that many 90+ ratings, or even 80+.

The giants fan who put 2 giants corners as 92 and 88 ovr, and freaking tuck at a 97, shame on you.

i thought they only have a 60-99 rating scale, at least i hardly see any player worse than that

If i'm not mistaken, the only time there has been a 99 rated running back (in recent memory) has been the year after Tomlinson was the MVP and scored all those TD's.

There's no chance in hell Clinton Portis is a 99.

Oh yeah I forgot about that.

Oh well, him and AD would have to be both like 98-97s.

wow that team is bad....every year on the new madden tho i start a franchise with em and make them just legit! takes a couple years tho!
