Shakers
Deangelo Hall was 93 in 2009, hes now 68(-25)
Matt Leinart was 85, hes now 62(-23)
Devin Thomas was 81, hes now 63(-18)
Torry Holt was 96, hes now 84(-12)
Fred Smoot was 87, is now 76(-11)

On a sidenote, Ray Lewis is rated a 96 to Beason's 91 and Willis's 98. Maybe its partially a projection rating as well? I mean Beason did play better than Willis last season and Ray played better than both (#1 All-pro)

[Lets_Go_Joe]

No Ladarius Webb lol

[Shawn`]

Wow at Torry Holts drop!

[thewarden86]

Shockey sucks and should be a 78 or so.

Hes listed at free safety.

Oh, I so stupid lol. 93 speed looks nice though... decent for a 3rd round pick.

[scotchtape622]

Philip Rivers and Donovan McNabb are both better than Roethlisberger! Arguably so is Manning and Romo.

[20ravens52]

Switch Ladarius Webb to corner and it looks like his overall rating will improve.

To about a 70. haha.

But seriously, he got some good ratings for a 3rd rounder. His awareness is just terrible.

Anyone notice that his jersey # is 20?

That could be a good sign

[Moiles]

are the updates gonna happen on )09 or r they gonna wait till 2010???

I'm pretty sure the 09 has had its final update.

how so?

i think the chargers have been one and done since rivers came to the team

McNabb chokes in the big games, and if he brings them back from behind, he cant finish the job

Manning is too inconsistent and squandered home field away this year

Romo has been one and done since hes been on the cowboys, and is always sure to choke in big games

Big ben has 50+ wins in his five years, went 13-0 as a rookie, youngest QB to win the SB, part of the reason they beat the ravens 3 times this past year, and had the game winning SB drive

anything else

How about we look at the numbers, even from just last year.

Roethlisberger
TDS
17
INT
15
YDS
3,301
RTG
80.1

Eli Manning
TDS
21
INT
10
YDS
3,238
RTG
86.4

Donovan McNabb
TDS
23
INT
11
YDS
3,916
RTG
86.4

Philip Rivers
TDS
34
INT
11
YDS
4,009
RTG
105.5

Tony Romo
TDS
26
INT
14
YDS
3,448
RTG
91.4

I also forgot to mention one guy, Aaron Rodgers

Aaron Rodgers
TDS
28
INT
13
YDS
4,038
RTG
93.8

So, Roethlisberger threw more interceptions than everybody on that list (I'll admit that Romo would have probably tied or gotten a bit more if he hadn't been injured). INTs are the worst things a QB can do. On the other hand, TDs are probably the best thing a QB can do. Everyone on that list threw more TDs (and Romo would have thrown more if it weren't for the injuries). The Steelers have been so successful because of their elite defense and their very good running game. Roethlisberger's job is to just not screw up.

OHHH shut up.... He won two last minute games against us and he scored a TD with under 2:00 to go at the superbowl. Lets be realistic here huh.

[scotchtape622]

I'm not saying he is a horrible QB. He is really good in clutch, but if his defense wasn't so great, clutch would be too late.

i think gaither and washington need to be higher, hopefully they'll address that during the season...

and if by L-train you mean le'ron mcclain, then that rating is absurd. i think you may have swapped the 9 with the 6 or something

Wow this is messed up. Landry a 71, Washington not in the 80s, Gaither not 85+; keep hating EA, im still going to beast with my Ravens!

[BmoreRav]

This pretty much explains the Madden 10 Ratings being low:

[quote]We took each and every rating in the game (over 50+ player ratings) and scaled them up/down in a way that is now using much more of the scale. I like to describe it around the office like this..."We basically stretched out the ratings." We want to use more of the numbers so we get a bigger, more noticeable effect in the game.

Let me give you guys an example....in Madden NFL 09 all of the WR's Route Running ratings ranged from 62-99. In the current Madden NFL 10 build, WR's now check in from 35-99. To counter this on the defensive side, all CB's in Madden NFL 09 had a Man Coverage rating which ranged from 64-99. Now in Madden NFL 10, CB's Man Coverage range is currently 40-99.

Every position and every rating has been re-scaled to expand the range of numbers we are dealing with. The Overall Rating for your average NFL player has dropped. Your Joe Average linebacker who was 80 OVR is now dropped down to 70. The players who were before right on the cusp of 90 in a rating category are now down around 85-88...Meaning, there are fewer superstar players out there. Before, where you could maybe get by throwing to your slot WR who had 93 SPD, with 74 ROUTES, and 77 Catching...now in Madden NFL 10, that guy is going to have like 91 SPD, 60-65 ROUTES and anywhere from 65-70 Catching. Let me tell you, these rating drops make a big difference when that slot rookie WR with 90+ speed now drops every 3rd pass or so, or just simply cannot get open.

The superstars have not been affected however, this is intentional. Peyton is still 99 OVR, Patrick Willis a 99, Larry Fitz is 99, etc. The elite players at rating categories have not been affected either (JaMarcus Russell still has a 98 Throw Power and Chris Johnson still rated 99 Speed).

Speaking of the Speed, which is always a hot topic, we made some major changes with the infamous SPD rating as well. To give you a great example, I will again go back to WR and CB. In Madden NFL 09, the WR SPD range was 85-100...CB was 87-99.

In Madden NFL 10, WR SPD range is currently 70-100...CB is currently 75-99. So as you may or may not tell, the SPD range has been pushed down, in our opinions, to better reflect the "sim-gameplay" style that Ian and Phil have been telling you about all winter long. This SPD change has been updated for each position, so it makes a huge game play affect.

Ian and I had a game the other day where Earnest Graham broke one up the middle for a 55 yard touchdown run... and he could not be caught!...E-Grahams' Madden NFL 10 current SPD rating....80 SPD. That should give you a good sense of what is possible with the new ratings. It's not all about having the 90+ SPD anymore. On this particular run, Ian's CB's got hung up against some blockers and all I had to do was beat one safety and Graham was gone! He had Brandon Jacobs and his 85 SPD breaking some long runs as well. On the flip side of bigger/slower backs, Chris Johnson is absolutely lethal right now. You can actually get him outside with sweeps now and he is a beast to stop. But again, we are constantly tuning the gameplay, we have an entire team dedicated to that and they are some of the best people we have in the building.

Does anyone have a link? Where are people pulling these Ravens' ratings from?
