Broncos 2008 Madden Ratings.

[Requiem]

Someone on Broncomania took a screenshot of the roster (didn't post it) but put in what he saw on the depth chart for the Broncos starters and depth players listed right away when it scrolled through on the YouTube video. I'm guessing these are subject to change. I think that Tony is getting low due to injury, we'll see though. These are all debatable, but I thank the guy over on Broncomania for actually trying to read the small text and zooming in to get the goods. Don't know why the FB's weren't listed, or Adams or Kennedy. Anyways. . . Here we go. . . enjoy. (I'm sure they will change.)

Denver Broncos Rookies

Jarvis Moss, DE - 79 Overall.
Tim Crowder, DE - 75 Overall.

Javon only 82?? Maybe it was a 92??

[Inkana7]

If Javon's an 82 I'm going to burn my maddens and piss on the ashes.

[Bob's your Information Minister]

Who cares what their ratings are out of the box? It's pointless to complain about it either way.

[CHANGSTER]

Javon only 82?? Maybe it was a 92??

Yeah has to be 92, think he was around that in 07.

[MechanicalBull]

Yeah has to be 92, think he was around that in 07.

Was just going to say that. I think he was in the low 90s last year and is probably around the same this year. If he is an 82 that is a bad rating.

[Requiem]

Yeah Javon is a 92, it was a typo!

[broncs2bowl]

i wish he found Eddie moore and Warrick Holdman and Adams and Kennedy

[Cosmo]

Elvis Dumeril, DE - 79 Overall.

Jarvis Moss, DE - 79 Overall.


Ok, thats interesting.

[Kaylore]

It looks like they're reigning in giving every player at least an 85 like they did last year, which is nice. I hope there is only a handful of 99's. Like Manning, LT, Bailey, Jason Taylor, Urlacher - you know, the guys that it would be hard to argue aren't the top players at their position.

[maher_tyler]

On PS2 his rating is an 89 so 93 seems fair, hopefully he has a better speed rating but rod dropped 8 points from 90 to 82. Shef didn't change, they never usually rate rookies over an 80, only guys like Bush, i'm sure Johnson will be around an 86-87.

[dragondawg]

plummer was 90 in 07

[maher_tyler]

plummer was 90 in 07

I thought Cutler would only bump up to an 83, hopefully they made his arm strength and accuracy better.

[HEAV]

Madden...

2k5 in 2k7 for me. But I'll gladly use the Madden numbers to customize my rosters!

[dragondawg]

anyone ever subsitute plummer with cutler? i did that couple times and cutler being a rookie wasn't so good, BVP had higher ratings than plummer in every category but overall plummer was higher, i guess cause of experience

[Vegas_Bronco]

Travis Henry at 87 is a blatant slap to the face - just wait you dumb fools.

[listopencil]

Daniel Graham, TE - 90 Overall.

I do everytime i'm the Broncos, it seems like if a guy has a arm strength of less than 90 he can't throw a half decent deep ball so i put Cutler in, it sucks when i play on All-Madden though cause his cone is barely a sliver wide which is why the cone is retarded...

I have always said that and agree with you. Not everyone should be a 99 or close to it, it should only be for the top top talent. I didn't like it last year when guys like Bush and Vernon Davis were already given 85s without ever playing in the NFL.

Now I heard this year they are actually focusing in on each position like if you put a rookie wr with 70 ovr but with 97 speed against Champ he will shut him down no problem. I'm not sure if that is just for the next gen consoles or ever system.

Well, why not? You have to respect the physical abilities of those players. When you factor in Bush's speed, acceleration, agility and hands, it's going to be very tough to keep his rating down. What do you want the guys at EA to do? Knock his awareness down to 15? That's just dumb.

[azbroncfan]

Ratings are as worthless as Pwr rankings. If Engleberger is a 78 then it is a complete joke.

Yes thats exactly what they should of done, he was a rookie.

I'm not saying make him horrible but I think guys that haven't even played a down yet shouldn't be rated that high. I would spread out the ratings more like Kaylore said and have top guys only around 99.

Ignore the overall ratings. They mean nothing.

There's a problem if someone makes Mike Bell's speed 99. There's no problem giving Reggie Bush incredible athletic ratings.

[Bob's your Information Minister]

That's just stupid. Reggie Bush's awareness should be the equivalent of most other rookie HBs.

I agree on that but take Tatum Bell for example because his speed was 95 I believe, would always blow past people or one juke and forget about it and that's if it was me or another player controlling him and on any difficulty or slider.

Speed was way too much of a factor in the game and guys like Bell should not be able to do the things he does in the game.

[CHANGSTER]

Oh really Einstein, that would make sense. Apparently sarcasm is an acquired taste.

My point was just because a player is high profile doesn't mean some of their ratings should be inflated. A lower profile player who runs a 4.3 isn't gonna get the same kind of love. I remember seeing all these lesser known player who were burners had much lower speed ratings for example, they made them lower cause they didn't want them to be awesome since they were rookies. Foxworth and D-Will come to mind their rookie seasons.

[Bob's your Information Minister]

Bush's ratings were never inflated. They were realistic.

This guy is so fun to watch. I've seen all of his videos.
I just won my 25th Madden game online. I was on an 8 game winning streak. Lost one though. Now I'm on a 3 game win streak.

[freak6]

NCAA is getting crappy reviews on PS3 compared to x-box 360, because the 360 version plays at 60 FPS, while the ps3 literally lags at 30 FPS.

<b>According to 1up.com, the same will be true for Madden 08.

[Garcia Bronco]

I feel like they think Champ Bailey is the best player on the team.
