Dear Madden: Do You Take Stats into Consideration when Rating Players?

[Steeler Nation]

By: CJ Lester SteelerNation.com * Earlier this week, SteelerNation’s very own, Jordan DeFigio discussed the snubbing of several Pittsburgh Steelers*players on this year’s version of EA Sports’ Madden NFL. With the complete launch ratings now official, unfortunately the leaked ratings are accurate in comparison to the official ratings. Below are the top 10 Steelers players […]

Steelers never get any respect. No respect at all.

Why you'd think they didn't blaze their way though the playoffs last year on the way to a Super Bowl victory.



Oh, wait......

I wouldn't expect Ben to have a good rating, if any at all, since he played like 5 quarters last year, but as the article points out Gronk was retired and didn't play at all and gets a 95.

Ben at 81 is beyond a insult im sure manning off his neck surgery rating eithier didnt drop or did by just a tad bit but not by like 7-11 points.
ben was not career threatning, and how is tj not a 90 top 3 in sacks, among top vote getter for d mvp and this.

Oh, you Yung-ins debat'n Madden numbers. I remember when I was your age back'n '95, Turning on the Super Nintendo and seeing all of those ****** up player stats. "Whadda-mean Woodson is a 96 overall!!! He's a 99 at least!!" Go to work and argue with my buddies and get into fights cause we didn't have social media so all of our debat'n was face to face and if ya said somth'n stupid ya got a fist to the face...there was no keyboard tough guys back in my day. But, as you get older like I am today, you begin to see that some things simply don't matter and you succumb to the realization that you can't do **** about most of it and mutter the phrase "**** it"...A LOT!!

BTW, Back in my day if you wanted updated players you bought the new game full price, so quit yer whin'n!! Does Madden still have cheat codes? That was always fun to figure them out.

The thing about that game is if a player has a good or bad first quarter, EA Sports adjusts the players ratings almost accordingly. I think it is fair that Ben is at 81 to start. By midseason it could get back to the 90 range again.

People actually are worried about this stupid ******* game.......................................... What you should be really worried about is if you'll get hit by a piece of fragment when they blow up Mt. Rushmore..........................
