Madden rankings for NFC West teams

Here is the madden rankings for each of the NFC West teams.

Some notes:

Way too low for Burton, but I guess he has still yet to prove himself. Even Brooks Foster is ranked higher than Burton!

-K. Boller: 51 overall

He must have done something to piss off the Madden rankers.

-O Lineman

Really liking the looks of these guys. They were given pretty solid rankings with Jacob Bell being an 86 overall, Jason Brown a solid 90, and Jason Smith an 84 overall.

Thought's anyone?

they opened the stat range up this year, in previous versions they put most stats between 75-100 this year they widened it more to show bigger differences to 50-100, so Boller’s 51 is about a 76 in previous games, but to see the lineman ranked that high surprises me some, there’s not to many players in the 90’s now so 80’s are really good.

Props to Jacob Bell for an 86

Is he really that good? He had a mediocre last season in my mind.

This would be very important if....

The entire NFL season was played on an X-Box or PS3. But it’s not. Therefore, I don’t trust what some video game analyst out in California says about football. If you can prove to me that he meticulously went through and graded all 1,700 players in the NFL, then I would at least listen to him. But I know they didn’t so all of this means nothing.

On this team, we are all united in a common goal: to keep my job.

Madden hasn't like the Rams...

…since his buddy John Robinson got booted.

this stuff tends to be pretty spot on

wonder if they will predict the next super bowl champ in 2 weeks and we can get on with next season

Spot on to what?

I think the rankings are sort of on their own too, not comparble to anything but themselves. Tends to be spot on? Maybe used to be, if you’re talking comparisons to real life.

The WRs now range from 35-99 on route running. Maybe you can compare that level to other spots in the video game, and maybe only to other speed positions. So where does a 35 compare to the best DT, or the guy on the couch for that matter? Even if the DT is a zero — in real life, the worst WR is well above the best DT in route running, certainly more than one third of “best”. NFL WRs are at too high of a level to have their specialized position skills to be that close to zero. And on the other side of the scale, I doubt a real life DT could lose my old ass on a route, guys weighing over 300 pounds just can’t change directions at speed.

The old scale was better for comparing to real life, with the lowest WR at 62 for routes, but maybe this new scale will improve playability. Alhtough sometimes I get the feeling they change things just to change them. I think 08 had useless changes too.

Lived in LA during the Rams and Raiders days. Now based in NorCal, I am still a die hard Rams fan and Raiders season ticket holder.
