An Explanation to Madden Ratings

Very funny read- I personally loved these two:

"53 -- The overall player rating for Ethan Albright, Washington's long snapper -- the lowest overall player rating in the entire game. But Albright shouldn't be too upset about his overall rating because he was given a rare 100 score in the player morale category -- meaning that while he may be a terrible football player, his teammates are inspired by his presence. He's practically a modern-day "Radio."

44 -- Drew Bledsoe's agility rating. Proof that the people at EA Sports are kind, generous souls. And that their rating system does not include negative numbers."

Hahaha that is great. Anyone have a clue why they have Cooley a 98 and why he is still a fullback? Other 07 mysteries include: Santana Moss never outrunning anyone in his routes, Marcus Washington being a LOLB, and David Patten being on kickoff coverage.

HAHAHAHAHAH!!

25 -- The player morale rating for Terrell Owens, far and away the lowest in the game. So apparently to get lower than 25 in this category a player has to be coming off of a season in which he actually murdered a teammate. (Maybe that's something the Bengals can try to achieve for Madden 2008.)

this was HILARIOUS! :laugh::laugh::laugh:

Agreed. Lol. The Brett Farve one is good,

90 -- Brett Favre's morale rating. While I disagree a bit with Ray Lewis' attributes, this one is right on. Playing against Brett Favre is absolutely fantastic for a team's morale.

He's 95 and they don't pay attention at EA, that's why he's a FB. Switch him (without editing his position) to TE and he's an 86, edit him to a TE (can't online) and he's a 90. His awareness as a TE will suck like last year because he's supposed to be a FB but oh well, I still run him at TE. Fauria can't get separation on the deep TE routes like Cooley does.

Santana Moss does outrun people. I had 170 recieving yards with him online last night. You just don't know how to throw a deep ball. Also, he makes some nice deep ball catches in good coverage now and again, too. I can't complain about Moss, Lloyd, however, doesn't catch ****. He doesn't have speed and he drops it everytime someone puts a decent hit on him. No possession reciever abilities at all. Oh well, skins still going to have problems beating bump man coverage. No one can catch a tough slant.

Patten is on teams because the 4th WR on the depth chart plays teams. If you had Moss at #4, he'd be out there. As far as Marcus, I didn't notice that. If it's true that's pretty stupid but it wouldn't surprise me since they already screwed up the Cooley at FB thing.

Thanks! Good find! I like these:

35 -- The strength rating for Eagles receiver Todd Pinkston. How weak is Stinkston? Thirty-nine kickers and punters are given higher ratings. Thirty-nine. Yikes. If that's not a punch in the frail, tender, feeble stomach, then I don't know what is. In fact, I'm kind of excited to fire up Madden '07 to see if the game's programmers switched Pinkston's mug shot with that of a cat. Might as well hammer home the point, huh?

35 -- Not that Pinkston is the only non-kicker to get a 35 strength rating. Eagles receiver and kick returner Jeremy Bloom got one, too. So remember, Eagles fans: just tap that pass button in Madden '07. You don't want Donovan McNabb to accidentally kill his waifish receiving corps with high-velocity throws.
