  • Its okay for me, I am a 49ers fan and we have two players rated high who can change the game, a MLB and a running back. I like to play franchise and after a few seasons of drafts and trades and playing to your teams strengths, none of these ratings will matter. I thought it was a game. An intense and deeply emotional game for some people, but just a game for sure.`

  • ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? 5 TEAMS UNDER 70? I KNOW DETROIT DESERVED IT BUT CINCI STARTED TO DO GOOD AT THE END OF THE YEAR. Only 2 teams in the 90′s WTF. The saints are at the bottom of the list with the best offense in the league. AND how the hell can you give the seahawks who won 4 games the same rating as the dolphins who won 11. Dallas is over rated. the chargers the 4th best team???? they started 4-8 last year. the patriots didnt even go to the playoffs and somehow they are the best team in the game. this is fine for people who want to do franchise mode but it sucks ass for people who want to play for fun. panthers, ravens, falcons, and vikings all got gipped.
    there is no way in hell i am buying the game this year
    *say as loud as you can* THE RATINGS ON THIS GAME ARE BULLLLLSHIIIT

  • Madden staff has biased ratings!!

    I think these ratings are full of ****! why in world are the patriots rated high they should be rated between 88 and 90!! Even the Chargers too!! They tend to choke in the playoffs and are rated 88 while they should at least be a 84!! BRING BACK THE NFL2K SERIES!!!!

  • These ratings are insane some of the best players in the game are not shown to be that and players who underperformed last season on the field get there ratings to be through the roof. Some rb’s have high ratings but the only reason they were any good was a line that opened wholes big enough to put an army through. For years this has happened. Shaun Alexander is a perfect example hutchinson leaves he sucks and the trend continues. Plain and simple it is stupid. They need more people who understand football to give ratings real scouts and people who know what they are talking about. And teams whose players didn’t play all season have incredible ratings while others in the same situation have the numbers go down the toilet. I don’t understand how a guy who graduated from ITT tech can sit and only look at numbers and rate players like they do. So many great players are on bad teams and the ratings for that player reflect that. open your eyes you morons. HIRE SOMEONE WHO GETS FOOTBALL NOT COMPUTERS TO MAKE THE NUMBERS!!!!!!

  • The redskins should be better than the cowboys we have the best defensive palyer on madden and we have better oline wide recievers and runningback annd overall defense. Ranked number 4 in the nfl

  • honestly the ratings are biased…new england is rated high year end and year out because of two people…moss and brady…and of course because of the biased opinion of those working on the madden project alot of other pats players end up over 90…fact of the matter is some of these ratings are bogus…miami is under rated seattle overrated…the only and i mean the ONLY team that i agree with on here is pittsburgh…oh and the teams in the 60′s i agree on those too lol im a rams fan and even i didnt expect to be a 66..more like a 60

  • How are the cowboys only 85? Patriots sucked somethin fierce this year and the cards got to the superbowl i hope these arnt accurate

  • WHAT???!!! they gave the saints a 74 are they nuts they should be an 88 at the least…alot of these ratings dont make sense at all exept for the 60 ones

  • I THINK THE NEW RATING SYSTEM WILL MAKE IT MORE REALISTIC, ALL OF THESE PEOPLE BITCHIN ARE JUST MAD THEY WONT BE ABLE TO PICK THE PATS, BOYS , ETC. ANE RUN BACK 10-20 YARDS WITH BRADY WAIT FOR MOSS TO OUT RUN THE COVERAGE AND TOUCHDOWN. THATS ALL THEY DO ONLINE AND THEY THINK THEIR GOOD LOL…. I HOPE THAT IT FINALLY FIXES THAT ********. ANOTHER THING MILES COME ON BE FOR REAL THE COWBOYS ARE LUCKY THEIR 85, THEY BARELY MADE IT TO THE PLAYOFFS LOL….. ONE LAST THING IS WHY IS THEIR CHEATS FOR MADDEN IT IS ******** PEOPLE BEAT YOU BY USEIN CHEATS THEIR SHOULD NOT BE CHEATS OR AT LEAST YOU SHOULD MAKE IT SO THEY CANT BE USED ONLINE

  • As a Ravens fan and just a football fan in general , I’m aggravated by these ratings. Some of you guys are under the impression that EA doesn’t have people that know football but I am under a different impression. They know exactly what they are doing, at the end of the day it comes down to marketing and selling copies. So there ratings system basically comes down to a popularity contest!

  • Cowboys should be just as good as the patriots their team is loaded with talent just there coach is a panzy. And daniel 88 for the saints really? My high school team has a better ****** defense than them saints should be like a 72.

  • cowboys 85? Pats 93. You must be ******* me!!! Pats sucked ass last year, so did the colts.

  • I always scratch my head when people talk about how much talent the Cowboys have. When I look I see a team full overrated and over-hyped players than embarass themselves each year. For instance, The Strong safety Roy Williams was never good and people knew that. He can’t cover or tackle. He it just a big hitter, but leave it to the illusion of the Cowboy faithful and they will say he was a great safety

  • MAN EAGLES SHOULD BE BETTER WE WENT TO THE PLAYOFFS LAST YEAR AND WE ONLY A 88 RATING THAT’S BULL ***** WE SHOULD BE WAY BETTER WE WENT TO THE NFC CHAMPIONSHIP LAST YEAR AND WE ONLY A 88 YEAH RIGHT F**K MADDEN

  • cowboys should be higher so they had a off year bc of injuries and every dang time romo would throw to Owens he would drop it they r underrated so is romo just bc he hasn’t won a playoff game he has good stats and they should be higher

  • for the eagles guy, you have one of the best teams in the game so shut up, the cowboys are WAYYY overrated as is Romo and it doesnt matter how good your team its it’s how you use them.

  • The Ravens Destroyed every team in the NFC east and beat the Titans in the playoffs. They were a few plays from being in the Superbowl, and they are ranked 82. W.T.F.

  • Everyone always says romo sucks because he hasnt won a playoff game hes only played 2 and look how long it took p. manning to win anything and roy williams was cut because he isnt good

  • there is no way the bucs should be a 74

  • EVERYONE IS COMPLAINING ABOUT THE RATING MOSTLY CAUSE THEIR TEAM DIDNT GET THE RATING THEY THINK THEY DESERVED…SO WHAT!! SHUT AND PLAY THE GAME..TAKE THE GOOD WITH THE BAD..IF YOUR TEAM SUCKS..O WELL FIND A WAY TO WIN ITS A GAME PEOPLE..THE RATINGS MAY BE UNREASONABLE I AGREE BUT COMPLAINING AINT GOING TO FIX NOTHING..IM STILL GONNA PLAY WITH MY TEAM AND THEY SUCK ON THIS MADDEN ACCORDING TO THE RATING..BUT I WILL WIN CAUSE I’M THAT GOOD

  • Giants are 89. Ha ha!

  • I agree with miles romo is awsome but true complaining isn’t gonna do any good but the game needs to come out earlier it’s *** that it comes out in august it should in July just like NCAA 10 is

  • did u see who all the bengals have this year n there rating iz a 67 the madden ppl hate the bengals

  • How the f*** are the Dolphins ranked lower than the Bills and Jets? Did EA forget that the Phins went 11-5 and made the WON their division?

    And the Bengals are higher than them.

    And by the way, the Patriots didn’t even make the playoffs….how did they beat out the Super Bowl champs?

    The Chargers barely made the playoffs with an 8-8 record. Very impressive, I suppose.

  • falcons had the number 2 running game last year and only allowed 17 sacks which ithink was 6th best in the NFL and we have one of the worst O-Lines. mike peterson on the jags was an 89 and now he’s on the falcons and is an 80. I know they changed the ratings system and i like that not alot of teams are 90′s and everyone’s orund 80 but many teams got RIPPED.

  • Ok first, Guru2004 has a point, stop complaining, its not goin to change a thing…however in my opinion the Cards deserve a better rating..maybe 89 or 90? they made it to the Super Bowl when no one thought they would…they beat the Eagles (who has a better percent? wtf) and the Giants arent that great without Plaxico Buress, the Titans are a ******* team, very overated, and lost there best player Albert Haynesworth….soo none of those teams should be better than the Cards, i only thnk the Steelers and Pats should…my 3 other main concerns are the Bengals, Seahawks, and Dolphins..wtf was Madden thnking? like is he smoking? for one, the Seahawks overrated you jackasses their underrated. Hasselback will be up and ready to play..Houshmanzadeh is a monster, and what about their defense? Lofa Tatupu/Aaron Curry say what? thats one of the best linebacker sets in the league and i bet any money this team will make it to the NFC Championship if not the Super Bowl. The Dolphins in my opnion are monsters. They’ve got a well established running game with the pro-bowler Ronnie Brown who averaged 5 yards per carry, and they got a hell of a defense…Joey Porter!? dnt forget about that dude. Finally, the Bengals..there 67? what how why??? Their defense isnt to too good, but they improved it by getting my boii Ray Malauga. There offense is pretty beast too, Chad Ocho Cinco and Lavurneus Coles are a good reciever duo and if Carson Palmer stays healthy they’ll be one of the best offenses in the league…Seahawks 87, Dolphins 84, Bengals 82.

  • The Buffalo Bills should be rated at least an 80!!! Two words Terrell Owens!!!

  • 3 words terral Owens sux!!!!!!

  • I dont give a s*** about the ratings as long as my freakin game doesnt freeze three years into a franchise everytime like it did in madden 09

  • Yeah some of these ratings are messed up. Yes I know I’m a Seahawk fan but this is not a biased opinion. 77 is accurate, we lost all our starting receivers, our quarterback, and two offensive lineman. How could anyone expect more than 4 wins? However, I do agree that the Dolphins and Buccaneers should be higher than the Seahawks.

  • The Cowboys should be lower. They have tons of talent, but NO chemistry whatsoever. Until they learn to play unselfish Football, Dallas won’t be seeing playoff victories for a while.

  • The ratings are based on assumptions of what the teams will do this year. These ratings aren’t too far off the superbowl odds either. People complainig about the Cowboys and Chargers ratings shouldn’t be. Both teams are stacked with talent across the board. And while both underachieved last year despite making the playoffs have yet to reach their ceiling which could very well be this year…

  • MyKey, I would agree. I think the Chargers rating is fair. I am also aware that the Cowboys are a very talented team. My issue is that the team ratings are based on how the teams will do this year, but player ratings aren’t. Why can’t EA find a middle ground between the player’s previous year, and their entire career. Matt Hasselbeck sucked it up last year. However, how well would any of you do if you had a bulging disc in your spine, a concussion, starting receivers, etc. It seem that they would know he’s better than an 84. I do like how they stretched the ratings this year though.

  • This next one is addressed to haha wow. You make good points, but the reason those three teams aren’t in the 80′s, is that the ratings have been stretched. So high seventies are actually the rough equivalent of the mid 80′s in the previous game.

  • Like the only QB rating over 100 and top 5 in pretty much all QB stats only getting 88 (the same as C. Palmer)?? No biggie though. The Boltz are coming and hell’s coming with them. Damn I’m ready for football!!!

  • hello, you guys aren’t thinking, this isn’t like nba games, nba is based on team ratings. madden does individual player stats and averages them on each team, patriots have some of the best players, and the rest aren’t half bad, so their team probably has like everyone rated ofver 85, meaning that their average will be very high. think people think

  • i think these r some ******** ratings da 49ers finish strong at da end of da season and a betta record than da previous year and their rating is about da same or even lower than madden 2009

  • hahahah this is a lie!!!

    ok first of all the cowboys are bad they lost t.o. who sucks romo is terrible and they are overrated because they have a few good games at the beggining of each year. second three teamse that are on the bottom should be moved up. im a jaguar fan so im obviously gonna be angry but there should be no reason that they should have a 71 they one 5 games 1 more than seatle wich is a 77? seatle also plays in one of the worst divisions ever the jags also had terrible injuries they lost 3 o line starters at the end of the second game of the year they have the fifth best running back in the league mjd according to best in the biz one of the best cb’s in the league rashean mathis and they now have torry holt. i think the jags deserve atleast a 77. but i also thin the bengles deserve a 75 and seatle should be a ******* 70. the cowboys should be way lower as in the 70′s the titans should be lower the cards should be higher. and i dont even know why the chargers are that hi i could have sworn L.T. sucked and they went 8-8 this year. and the falcons dominated they have a great Q.B and there defens was great i think the chargers and falcons should trade places. i hope to god they change this ****.

  • Everyone stop bitchin

    Everyone stop bitchin and cowboys dont need TO to be good if ur teams start doin good durin the season just do a roster update and theyll be wat they shud be

  • **** the Cowboys Eagles #1

  • umm it doesnt matter who went to the playoffs and how far they got, team rankings are based on the individual player rankings per team, the pats are stacked thats why they have such a high rating the dolphins on the hand dont really have that many big name players thats why they are so low

  • Dolphins and the Ravens got majorly screwed with this years rating system. The Dolphins went 11-5 and swept the Bills. Yet the Bills are ranked higher and went 7-9 last year. People complain the Dolphins had a weak schedule, but guess what?? Our whole division had the same schedule. So if the patriots are 93 and they miss the playoffs shouldn’t the Dolphins be rated 99?? LOL JK but the rating system sucks I don’t think I’ll buy it till mid season, so the ratings are updated.

  • patriots were the first team to win 11 games and not make the playoffs so u can’t really say the dolphins are better than the pats

  • The dolphins beat5 the pats 38 13 dumb man the dolphins are way better they won the division this is stupid man chad got four votes for mvp witch was the second most he shoulod be at least a 90 your all stupid dolphins are way better then a 77 they are on crack pats suck they will always suck and brady sucks and will get injured again he sucks!

  • **** the eagles, cowboys, nd the rest of the nfl TEAMS, giants winning another one this yr

  • chill wit the giant hype they not winning another1 for awhile…and the ratin for the eagles is bull**** we all kno it u dnt go to the NFC championship when ur NOT i repeat NOT suppose to be there and we was definitly betta then them nut ass GIANTS!!!!!!!1

  • son u hear yaself??? the “nutass” eagles aint shyt. u lost ya def coordinator (rip jj) so now ya done. i didnt wanna go their but u made me do it. as the giants is winning the division nd they guna play sum good team in the NFC championship beat them nd beat the Patriots again in the superbowl this yr, its gunna be round 2 of the pats nd g-men.

    NOBODY STOPIN THE G-MEN THIS YR, WITH OR WITHOUT PLAXICO!!

  • Ok guys here is how it goes down for all you Eagles fans complaining about there rank guess what Eagles = “GARBAGE” AND that NFC s*** = “Fluke” they are lucky to be that high and should be happy with it! and if I hear one more damn cowboys complaint I’m going to kill myself they are easily one of the most over rated teams in football Cowboys = “Choke Artists” They are quite lucky themselves and seriously the Patriots?? Because they were good few years before they should be the best team in madden 2010?? umm no! Patriots = “Overrated” one of the few teams I agree with is Pittsburgh they should easily be the best team in this game! No doubt!

    PITTSBURGH = “CHAMPS!”

    So Eagles and Cowboys Fans SHUT YOUR DAMN MOUTHS!!

    Patriots Fans Your Just Lucky As S***!

  • Steelers are good i hate the **** outa them but the teams that piss me off the most are the eagles and patriots i hate them both. EAGLES NEVER WIN **** AND PATRIOTS ARE GOD DAMN CHEATERS NEITHER SHOULD BE GOOD!!!!!!! ANd i like the cowboys by the way

  • All you guys crying about the patriots. Answer this question: Do you think any of the teams you think should be rated higher than the patriots will have a better season than them? No I didn’t think so. You have to weigh this year and last year with these ratings. A guy named Tom Brady is back!!!!!!

  • Why are there so many immature football fans. If you are a fan of one team that’s fine. If some other team is great, why then do these little kids starting screaming about how they cheat and they suck and that childish crap. I’m a Seattle fan, but just because we lost to the Cards twice doesn’t mean I’m going to say “They suck, they are cheaters” whine whine whine. Grow up!!!! This is Football, the Patriots and Steelers are GREAT, and they deserve their high scores. I’m not a huge Steeler fan, but that doesn’t mean I deny their talent just because I dislike the team. So people, stopping saying how teams that beat your team suck. It insults your intelligence.

  • man they did jaguars wrong i know we had a bad year but we got torry holt and monrow how the fck are we in the 70′s

  • i mean monroe how the fck are we only 71 cmon this is bull **** i agree complaining aint gonna do nothing but we started off good and finish weak. i also understand we let several ppl go but cmon its the jags last year beat the superbowl champs twice at their home so bad ratings. and i aint even done yet. the jags still got playmakers but DAMN 71 thats just wrong. im still gonna buy the game though cuz it look tight and people talking trash about the pats. cmon they have tom brady,randy moss,teddy bruschi, and wes, so cmon they deserve there stats even though they had a bad year.

  • cowboyssuprbowl 44 champs

    the cowboys should be higher not the highest but atleast higher just because they had a off year watch they will be amazing this year and all of a sudden everyone loves the cowboys

  • WTF The Cowboys lost their best player the Eagles lost their best defensive player the Giants lost their only passing threat and there all better than the Redskin who gained the best defensive player in the game Derrick Dockery is underated in the game and we all know Jason Campbell is shaky but hes not even bettewr them Mark Sanchez in this game if you dont want to rank us better than all these teams atleast give us a 82 or 83 to be competetive in our division

  • what is wrong with you dumb s***s, they take the players and rate em and then average it so you cant say well we have romo and he’s good so we should be good, NO! for one thats not how it works and for two romo sucks donkey d*ck and so do the rest of the losers on that team, and enough of this **** saying oh well our guys got injured and we went 8-8 but we should have a 90 rating, f**k you! its not a very accurate way of rating but thats how it is so deal with it

  • Ok for all of you. Its a game chill. For Eagles, your a moron Pittsburgh WON THE SUPERBOWL and they are a 92…. Your an 88 thats fair. While some teams are a bit higher than they should be…. who cares? If you are good you can win with ANY team… I beat Pitt. with the Lions on All-madden…. You just are afraid of a challenge lol. The game is good except for the online play is a bit glitchy. That should be changed soon enough so life goes on.

  • They got the saints stat sucking. Theyer saying anyone can run through. Them .thats a lie .they will win the division this year.watch and see .my defence is going to be way better this year

  • I actually think that the colts maybe got a little overrarted with the running game only Joesph Addai should be a 75 instead of a 84 but that’s just mine but except that im happy.
