Release dates for Madden 10 Player Ratings

[Aso]

I think it would be smart when using the Broncos to use DJ Williams at MLB alongside Andra Davis and then start Robert Ayers at ROLB.

[Poundtherock]

What about Boss? You wouldn't think about moving him to MLB and start Williams and Ayers?

[Raidersabc123]

What about Boss? I think I would move him to MLB with his SPD and let Champ and Dawk help support his low AWR. Or else just manually control Boss?

Boss is cut

[Aso]

Elvis Dumervil has 26 sacks in the past 3 seasons while Jarvis Moss has i think 3.5 the past 2 years. I think Dumervil should definitely be better than Moss.

EDIT: On the excel sheet it says Dumervil has 97 finesse move, holy crap.

Boss is cut

Freak, that was fast!

wtf in the article it says Clady is a 90, while in the ratings he is 88.

Denver made some big moves in the offseason getting rid of long time head coach Mike Shanahan and QB of the future, Jay Cutler. The organization wanted a fresh start with new Head Coach Josh McDaniels, so look for the Broncos to turn into the rocky mountain version of the Patriots. The strength of the offense is at receiver. With Brandon Marshall (92 OVR/80 STR) and Eddie Royal (82 OVR/93 SPD) lining up outside, the Broncos rank as the 4th best WR unit in football. The running back stable looks completely different in 2009 as well in Denver. They spent the 12th overall pick on Knowshon Moreno (81 OVR/94 SPIN/95 JUKE/86 SPD) and free agent money on Correll Buckhalter (78 OVR) and Lamont Jordan. LT Ryan Clady (90 OVR) is one of the best young offensive linemen on all of football. Grab him in ALL of your Madden NFL 10 fantasy drafts. At QB, the Broncos go from laser armed Jay Cutler to caretaker Kyle Orton (74 OVR), a move that will definitely make the Broncos play and feel different in Madden 10. On defense, the big pick up was Safety Brian Dawkins (90 OVR). Pro Bowler Champ Bailey (96 OVR/96 SPD) is back again and now teams up with Andre Goodman (77 OVR), and rookie Alphonso Smith (76 OVR) - giving Denver the #5 ranked CB unit in the NFL this year. If you are looking for a way to beat the Broncos, look no further than their rush defense. They have the 32nd ranked DL unit and the 29th ranked LB unit with only D.J. Williams (86 OVR) the only player above 85 OVR on either of those units.

Who knows. Could be the early ratings that were provided to ESPN got changed by EA before they were released today.

Zach Miller is too slow
But man those Raiders DBs are quick still....ya

[Poundtherock]

Lol, wish that were a possibility.....if fact, I wish they would just release the rest of them, dammit!

[Tailback U]

Gallery and Jon Alston got jobbed. Alston is most likely going to start at OLB but he is 20 points lower than Ricky Brown...dumb.

Looks like I'm going to be using Garcia this year.

Click HERE to download the complete list of the Oakland Raiders player ratings from EA in Excel format.

Oakland is a team in Madden NFL 10 with some obvious strengths as well as some big time weaknesses. The Raiders boast the #3 ranked CB unit in football led by Nnamdi Asomugha (99 OVR/94 SPD/99 MAN COV) and Chris Johnson (80 OVR/91 SPD). Every single one of the Oakland cornerbacks are 90+ SPD in Madden NFL 10 (something no other team in Madden can say). At linebacker, Kirk Morrison (87 OVR/96 TAK) and Thomas Howard (85 OVR/86 SPD/88 AGI) make plays all over the field. DE Derrick Burgess (87 OVR) provides some serious pass rush and DT Tommy Kelly (80 OVR) plugs the inside for the defense. The Raiders offense has some serious holes. The Raiders rank 29th at QB with JaMarcus Russell (72 OVR/98 THP) as starter and Jeff Garcia as backup. They rank 30th at WR with Javon Walker and Derrius Heyward-Bey in the starting lineup. Heyward-Bey (97 SPD) is as fast as anyone in the league but he is very raw in terms of route running and catching the football. Zach Miller (86 OVR/87 CTH) is the best player on the offensive side of the ball for Oakland. He is going to catch a lot of balls as a security blanket for Russell.

The San Diego Chargers wraps up the AFC West tomorrow, then scheduled next week, the last division, the AFC East!

Ya and look at Michael Bush I know the ratings are spread but he was out running players last year he should be faster

[Tengo Juego]

I thought player weapons were still there just in the background?

[Tengo Juego]

Hmm...well I always felt ratings should dictate the skills of a player. Not a title.
