So there you go; a first look at some of the ratings in Madden NFL 10. Who do you think should be tops at each position in the game?


I saw this on the jacksonville jaguars message boards. MJD a 92 overall but a big shocker to me is that torry holt will only be an 84 overall. I know he had a down year, but his numbers still werent bad and he deserves to be at least an 88 IMO. Althought they claim they are redoing the way the ratings sytem works, so i guess it could be accurate. we will see.

wow great post, i cant believe chris johnson is only goin to be a 82, and deangelo hall dropped all the way to 68 which isnt even a average rated CB

hahaha yeah tuki.... when i saw the hit deangelo hall took, i just laaaaaaaaaughed and laughed

i thought D Will might be rated the best or 2nd best in the game

and im surprised jared all is a fuckin 99!!! 99 is crucial. peppers isnt a 99... allen is better than peppers? allen is one of the best DEs ever? i mean hes really fuckin good.... but not close to perfect.
