By the way, the Steelers (97) have a better rating than the Colts, Patriots, Chargers and Ravens...The Packers are even an 88 overall...The Browns are an 82 for crying out loud....Madden is terribly wrong


i dont know what ratings you are looking at but on my game it has the steelers an 88 overall

Yo, guys the actual game is done by computer geeks who probably don't know anything about the sport. Old JM is merely a name.
Anyway you can just change the strengths and weaknesses to your liking, hell, that's what I'm going to do, it's what I always do. Our boys never got respect from those Madden folks, but that don't stop me from winning with the BLACK & GOLD.

ahh got ya... well then espn totally screwed that one cuz thats their rating for 07 madden.. this years game pitt is 88 overall

In the ratings I saw, Deuce, Reggie, and Marques are all 89 overall.
I can ALMOST understand Reggie being that low simply because he didn't get too many rushing yards and MAYBE Colston because of his injury and being a 2nd year guy but Deuce's rating is laughably low. 89. WTF.
And they had Lance Moore's speed at like 87 or something.

Madden ratings are nearly always WAYYYY off. Call me nuts, but fast white guys never get good speed ratings (Wes Welker's at like 88 or something, Matt Jones is at 93, etc.), high draft picks are severely overrated in the speed department while late rounders get shafted there, strength ratings are nearly arbitrary, and so on.

Just put them to training camp... you'll have them at 99 in no time. I like developing my players on there.

well I had 07 for the PS 2 (tight game)
now I have a PS 3 (got it last month)
call me crazy but I want a refund on madden
the game is lame
no speed burst WTF were they thinking by not putting that in there
I read all the controls for it and there is not any place that it says they have a speed burst button
the players move trebly slow
they don’t even run like real people it looks more like apes trying to walk upright
it looks more like they trot rather then run
outside of the improved graphics and the announcer the game totally blows

They totally ruined the controls on the game you can switch the ball from the left hand to the right
The stiff arm is just the x button and it’s only one directional not stiff arm right or stiff arm left
Then on top of that they moved the juke controls from the L2 and L3 buttons to the right analog stick

And then on top of all of that I still can’t believe that in the year 2007 you can’t customize the controls to how you want them
Dam I guess coming out of the dark ages is going to take longer then I thought

I agree the ratings are a total wash
The Saints to be set that low come on what is with these guys

I then made a player that was 99 across the board and he sucked
Fumbled in the 1st play of the game against Oakland luckily my team got it back
Then I run him up the gut and he got injured on the 2nd play of the game
So I reset the game and did it again
The same thing happened again only this time it was on the 3rd and 4th plays

This game blows big time
The worst Madden ever

Ok gang, I bought the game last night and ESPN's website is wrong.

The Saint have an 88 rating overall.
