Madden NFL 10 Ratings: Top 10 by Position (ESPN Videogames)

Portis has shown no breakaway speed since gaining weight.

You answer to that is simple. It isn't a one season game and NEW players are going to come into the game. If these are the best players then there is not a possibility of anyone entering the league that is better.

I really really don't want a couple of 99 at every position. I don't want that many over 90 or we are back to all the past versions of Madden were ratings do not matter much.

The entire point of EA changing the ratings was to make it so there IS a difference between the elite players and the good ones. Because in past maddens there really was not. You could take a bunch of players rated in the 80's and win the super bowl year in and year out.

It wasn't realistic and needed to change. So, hopefully EA sticks to their guns and has the players ratings with a wide spread. If EA backs down over everyone's crying about ratings then the game will just suffer and we will have another year where basically all starters are rated of 90.

I am a Bears fan and have I asked for one bear's players to be rated higher? I am just trying to be unbiased and call it as I see it, no matter which team it helps.

whether you disagree with Tom Brady's deep ball accuracy or you think T.O is overrated,the bottom line is ELITE players should be a cut above.I want to see a Madden where there is no way Asomugha is beat in man coverage,where Haynesworth needs to be doubled,where Peyton Manning picks your D apart,where Adrian Peterson is ALL DAY,where you need to know where Harrison is lining up at,where Chris Johnson's speed is noticed....these ratings have meant nothing when Matt Schaub shreds you worse than Manning does. Bottom line is I hope this is the year you see the difference between the 99's and the 70's rated player.

Just be happy he got 94 speed and move on, if we are giving bonus points for being a good player, Jason Witten needs some to. Funny thing is Jason Witten actually has 4.6 timed speed at the combine and gets 75 speed for it. I know he is not the niftiest runner with the ball in his hands, but he sure as heck has blown away lots of safeties down the seam. I doubt 75 speed could beat a LB down the seam in Madden 10.

78/80 should be his speed

Also Heath Miller should be 72/74 Zach Miller 75-77 Antonio Gates 81-83 I don't get the 85 rating, heck if we are basing this on recent performance his bum ankle probably deserves 78-80 speed.

Not true. You dont have to have huge stats but I dont think you can have his stats,lead the league in fumbles and sacks, and be top 5, no way not even top 10 IMO. Pitt averaged 21 ppg, 20th in the league, take away the defensive scores and that probably drops to about 25th,so what did Ben do again? If you ask me, he got a "he's got a ring so that means hes great" card from EA.

Maybe Trent Dilfer is a little harsh but McMahon of the 85 Bears is a good comparison. That team was one of the best but there were many qbs much better than Mcmahon that year.

I actually thought they goofed Romo a bit. I think his deep ball accuracy and awareness should be swapped (okay, maybe the deep ball accuracy shouldn't be that high...lol)

Witten ran a 4.67 forty time.. Deceptively quick

Gates isnt that fast, he is just a awesome route runner and has soft hands. His route running is very unorthodox you cant teach it.
