Madden 10 Ratings - All Player Ratings including Broncos

 

Hi Chaps

Below is a list of the entire Bronco roster as per Madden 10. This has all come out from the Madden community. EA have been trying to keep a bit of a lid on it - pereferring to release the ratings over a period of time, but various dedicated bloggers have made it difficult for them.

Obviously this is subject to change before release  , but it's indicative of where the EA developers see our squad and it's unlikey they are going to be swayed by emails asking for certain players to be upgraded. So I think we have to accpet that if you want to play Madden this year you are going to be playing with what can only be described as a mediocre Denver squad.

I predict a lot of you guys are not going to be happy with their evaluation of our talent! Overall we have the 4th worst squad on average in the league according to EA. Which is a bit silly. But at the end of the day it's their opinion and it's up to the Broncos to earn their respect next season.

That said there are some shocking ratings - namely Doom & Larsen on defense, Ryan Harris on offense - all three have been robbed. I would also question Kuper & Sheffler's rather average ratings. I would possibly argue however that they have possibly overrated Marshall, Dawkins (sorry!) and A. Davis.  But that's a subject for  seperate and rather more detailed post I am planning on the DVOA ratings once the Football Outsiders Almanac comes out.

Bear in mind the player ratings are more spread out then previous incantations of Madden, to emphasise the difference beytween the elite and the average players.

I'll need to sit down with all 32 rosters to analyse exactly how our players have got on. That might take some work and I thought some of you might be interested in seeing it all now.

So for those of you that play Madden and care about these ratings then let the debate begin!

heh

I’m still playing Madden 06 for PS2, because I don’t want to pony up for a new game until I get a new system. Anyway, I did a fantasy draft, and I have many players such as Orton, Dawkins, Hill, Goodman, David, etc. I will probably make a trade for Boss Bailey today after work, haha.

Madden is always a fun time, but I wouldn’t let it be indicative of any real football talent. Oddly enough, some player such as Davis and Hill are ranked lower in the 2006 version (even with Hill being a user-converted SS from CB).

The EA developers have said don't try and compare ratings from previous years

They have really overhauled it – there are now a lot less "elite"players in the league.

And yes I’ m not saying the Madden ratings should be used to evaluate our squad. I think they have seriously jobbed us in a number of areas.

But it’s interesting I think to see our squad broken down this way I think.

That's pretty funny...

although I highly doubt it was written by Albright. Some good points though. A guy who has been in the league since ‘95 probably shouldn’t be the worst player in the game.

These ratings are a joke. Good thing their fluid, though. Bet on those rating climbing by WK 4. How does Dumervil go from 88 to 65? Unpossible!!

Does Madden have a development feature like in NBA 2K7 (and probably other versions, too)?

Every month, you’re given ten points, which you can spend on training the players and increasing their stats.

It’s a pretty fun feature, especially when they give you a minute and a half to do a task and have to scramble in the last seconds to complete it. Actually, come to think of it, I have these “training” sessions to thank every time I need a clutch 3 from J.R. Smith or a critical rebound late in the game, because they do help with your shooting technique and timing (yes, there is technique in a videogame; when you play in Hall of Fame difficulty, you have to be aware of a player’s fatigue throughout a game – i.e. a shot that will go in early on will be an airball if you shoot it exactly the same in the 4th – and count on who’s defending him to not just let him score 50 points a game).

I wouldn’t mind having this feature to play around with in other sports games.

Franchise Mode allows you to build up individual players

but I think all the newer Madden games adjust player/team ratings throughout the season, via the internet

by lolcopter on Jun 15, 2009 2:00 PM MDT up reply actions   0 recs

Eh, forgot to add...

These ratings aren’t too bad. Some are good, some are understandable, some are atrocious.

It’d be interesting to see how these change as time goes on. Could be an intriguing experiment in how “outsiders” view the team and its talent level.

Overall we have the 4th worst squad on average in the league according to EA.

I would consider that too bad. Like others have mentioned, the rating system has changed so you can’t compare it to previous years. However, making us the 4th worst team based on average player score is inevitably a major drop from last season.

EA Canada did the same thing with FIFA. They basically aped the PES games until they beat them at their own game (except for on the Wii).

Definitely.

Here’s a few more trailers showing the gameplay. The thing I’m personally looking forward to is the full customization. Now my made-up Denver Wolves of my old Madden 05 days (before it stopped working-scratches) can dominate the American Football Association in all their HD glory!

The gameplay sounds astounding though. I’d recommend IGN’s hands-on demo, where they talk about the passing game and how it is incorporated. Definitely a very intriguing idea, and I love how you can actually go through progressions like an actual QB would do.

Also, has anyone else heard about Scribblenauts?! That game looks insane.

No stairway? ...denied!

by papigrande on Jun 15, 2009 2:50 PM MDT up reply actions   0 recs

Very intriguing indeed.

I love Forza (it actually happens to be the game I’m currently playing), so I certainly wouldn’t mind that comparison. The more customisation options, the better, personally.
And I love the QB mechanic, too; my only problem with the current camera positions is that you can’t see the wideouts that are off-screen, so you have to throw on faith that they’re actually in a position to catch it, so I do hope this sticks. Hopefully they can work out the kinks and polish the game off before shipping.

Haven’t heard of Scribblenauts until now, but I am going to keep my eye on it. It sort of reminds me of Crayon Physics Deluxe.

Madden roster improvements

After seeing those ratings I think will have to cheat. A nice trick I have used for a long time is to sign the best free agents at the beginning of the year and then use them as trade bait. I also make sure to get a draft pick or two with each trade. I will then trade those for better picks…like 2 round 6 and a 7 for a 5.

by somedumbgamer on Jun 15, 2009 2:52 PM MDT reply actions   0 recs

haha, me too

in my fantasy draft I took Ed Reed, so I could use him as draft bait to snag D.J. and some draft picks later on

although Dawkins and Reed would have been a great safety tandem, LOL

What a Joke

Doom was like a 88/89 last year to a 65. He should at least a 79. Also they need build in the DL/LB Label for players like Ried, Doom and Crowder, Ayers, Moss. Clady should at least be a 95 and Harris at least a 90. Kuper and Hamilton should also be higher. We had the best oline in football last year and they get ratings like this. There a a few other players that should be higher. These rating could change but even if they don’t i will still dominate with Broncos in Madden. Also if a player has a great year their stats always improve. I think i have Doom at like a 96 on the 09 version right now

I used to work for EA Tiburon back in 02-03

Yep, I was a Senior Tester / Database Manager for NCAA, NASCAR, NFL Street and used to help out on Madden during crunchtime.

I know for a fact that the new head of QA is a die-hard Fader fan. He was hired about a week after me back in October of 02. He’s still a buddy of mine, even with his love for the Pilfer’n Crack. I (jokingly) guarantee that even if some tester in the QA dept creates a bug report in an attempt to fix the Broncos’ ratings (which does happen from time to time), my Fader friend will do eveything in his power….to ignore it.

I know a lot of guys in the production dept too, and the guys who create the ratings, they aren’t Broncos’ haters. They usually are pretty accurate. Like 2 years ago when everyone cried about the Patsies “overrating”, and then they went off to go undefeated in the reg seas.

Plus, if the Broncos somehow surprise the rest of the football world and win more than they lose, there are always periodical roster updates from EA.

The problem is the amount of canned animations in the game

Every year, EA adds like another bucketload of new animations for EVERYTHING. Passes, jukes, tackles, etc etc etc. So, the good news is that you’ll see a lot of different unique moves throughout the game. The bad news is that the more animations you add, the tougher it is to link them all together to look more fluid.

We tried to iron out a lot of the weirdness during testing, but sometimes, there’s only so much time and budget to fix stuff. Once we’re in late-alpha and early beta, we pretty much have to ignore the smaller issues like weird animations to just focus on big issues like crashes and etc.

It seems like the folks at BackBreaker are trying to remedy that with their crazy physics-based animation engine. All of their “canned animations” are actually put through their physics engine so when two players meet, no matter what position their body/limbs are in, they’ll react “realistically” to each other. Of course, being it’s their first football game, I’m sure we’ll see a few laughable unrealistic collisions, but ya gotta walk before you can run.

by SinDonor on Jun 15, 2009 7:35 PM MDT up reply actions   0 recs

That's the thing I'm most excited about in Backbreaker's gameplay.

There are no canned animations. Hopefully EA will see that game and contact NaturalMotion about putting Euphoria in Madden… then they might win me back as a customer.

Well....

If I had to guess:

They finished 13-3 in a good division. Lost in the playoffs by 4 points to the Super Bowl Champs (Giants). Had a 2nd ranked O and a top 10 D. Plus, they kept most of their studs: Romo (38 total TD, 97 Psr Rat), Owens, Barber, etc.

I guess they had to rank someone #1 in the NFC and they chose the Boys. Sure, in hindsight, it was a bad pick, but heading into 08, the Boys looked stacked (as long as Jessica Simpson stayed away from the games).

I am REALLY looking forward to BackBreaker. I know it’ll be so-so since it’s a first time effort, but the hits look so REAL. I’ll give them my $60 over EA just to have some competition in the football videogame world.

by SinDonor on Jun 15, 2009 5:43 PM MDT reply actions   0 recs

I'll second your final point.

I was really really disappointed to see EA get the NFL license, because they had finally gotten some serious competition in the 2K series.

If there’s anything we’ve learned from the ‘09 Broncos so far, it’s that competition can be a good thing.

I agree…I was just provided a counter-argument to your statemetn, “They usually are pretty accurate. Like 2 years ago when everyone cried about the Patsies "overrating", and then they went off to go undefeated in the reg seas.”. Everyone cried about the Cowboys ‘overrating’ this year and they didn’t even make the playoffs. I’d agree that they’re generally pretty good about it though.

Lots of College fans at EA Tib.

It’s about 50-50 with the love for NCAA and NFL. So, these guys, year after year, rate college players, who then go into the NFL. After years of rating players for NCAA and Madden, the folks at EA have a pretty good idea about how certain rookies might play out in the NFL. Tiburon has a team within the production dept dedicated towards player ratings. When I worked there, we had an ex-FSU QB on staff leading the ratings team. The guys used to ROCKET footballs at us in the parking lot. Thank God I had quick (albeit numb) hands.

by SinDonor on Jun 15, 2009 7:47 PM MDT up reply actions   0 recs

It wasn’t so much the rookies’ ratings I was concerned about…it’s more the current guys, who have seen considerable ratings drop in some cases from this year’s edition of the game. Now I know they’re going with a different rating system and working to put more emphasis on strengths and weaknesses, but that still doesn’t explain guys like Dumervil being that low. Lower than Peterson, Thomas, Fields, Reid AND Crowder? I’ve got to think that was a mistake from whoever picked up the leaked ratings. I’ll be waiting for the official EA release in the coming moths. So again, it’s not the college guys i’m concerned about (they do a good job with those, I must say…and rating updates during the season are a blessing as well).

Also, thanks for the personal insight. It’s no wonder they do a good job with that kind of stuff at EA. Please tell me someone agrees on the Doom issue though. That was the very huge thing that stared me in the face when I first saw these a few days ago.

Non bronco fans won't understand Dumervil's situation

last year, he didn’t play a lot of downs on D. The defense was too busy getting ran over, so there weren’t all that many passing downs, which Dumervil plays. People not close to the Broncos see Dumervil sitting on the sidelines for first and second down and think “wow, that dude must be terrible”.

It’s not that dumervil is terrible, it’s just that his specialty is sacking the qb. Unfortunately, the broncos haven’t been in a situation lately for him to do much of that.

That’s probably why he is low. Too much pine.

We all know that the internal formula for player talent is something like:

The one good thing about using an underrated team...

….is that it makes beating your friends in the game so much better.

I used to love playing the old NHL games back in the mid-90s and EA would always screw the NJ Devils, even AFTER we won the Cup in 95. We only had 2-3 high rated players (usually Brodeur, Scott Stevens, and Scott Neidermayer), the rest of the team stunk. So, whenever I picked my Devs to play against the overrated Rangers, Flyers, and Pens, it felt great actually beating my friends with the lower rated Devs.

by SinDonor on Jun 16, 2009 11:03 AM MDT up reply actions   0 recs

Of course

The Devils were rated low. They won because the league ignored clutching and grabbing in the neutral zone. That team was responsible for the NHL’s decline.

By the way Sin, what type of people work at EA? What “genius” mind would do dumb things in Madden like not allowing you to use your created playbook in the Franchise Mode four years ago? Who came up with that? I also have questioned the Vision and Precision thing as well, only because you usually have to make an extra move with your controller with the right analog stick, and you don’t always have the time to do that.

It is now more evident than ever. I will still use my Broncs, regardless of how shi**y they might be on this game. I can’t wait to score Knowshon’s first TD and grab Darcel his first pick. That is what makes it fun to me. Maybe unload on some poor, unsuspecting WR coming over the middle with Dawkins. Ratings aren’t everything. You still need to be able to pay the game, after all. If anyone has a PS3 and will have NCAA 10 & Madden 10 you can find me online. My name is the same. Rock n’ roll!

Take my advice, I'm not using it !!!
