Well Madden (and NFL) fans, as promised, we’re...
Hey Madden fans, it's that time again...time for...
I'm back again folks, bringing you some more additions...
Hello Madden, EA, and NFL faithful - welcome back to...
...(and the challenges in making it fun for the masses...
For those of you who were unable to take part in our live coverage today, or for those of you who just want to look over all of the rating in one place, here are the first Madden NFL 10 screen and ratings for every 2009 NFL First Round Draft Pick (You can click on the thumbnails to view the larger screen of each player):
graphics look good... most ratings look good...michael crabtree looks identical to what he really looks like.
Aaron Curry doesn't work....it links to Sanchez! :(
i think my man pat white should at least be a 70.
custom camera angles please!
can we please find out if we have custom camera angles?
Hey guys, looks like there are some issues with a couple of the pics not pointing to the right screens. We're working to fix and should have the right ones up in the next 20-30 mins.
Thanks for the heads up.

I'll start this by saying that I'm an Ok State alumni so perhaps I'm biased, but Brandon Pettigrew's 70 speed is atrocious! He's not the fastest TE in the draft easily, however, when looking at both the combine results for 40 times: www.nfl.com/.../top-performers
and the updated actual in game speed:
insideblog.easports.com/.../creating-sim-style-gameplay-in-madden-nfl-10.aspx
there are way too many inconsistencies, for example:
Aaron Maybin, Larry English, and Robert Ayers all ran slower 40s than Pettigrew and each is at least a 78 speed with Maybin having a whopping 84!
I understand wanting to respect his blocking ability without cranking his overall rating to ridiculous heights, but having multiple players much faster than Pettigrew with simultaneously slower 40 times is unfair and takes away any sense of playmaking ability that he has:

I hate to be picky, but the new 49ers' helmets facemask is gray. If you could please fix, thanks; if you don't believe me check the link:
www.49ers.com/.../news_detail.php
I hate to be picky, but I noticed that the 49ers' new helmet facemask is gray not red. If you could please fix that would be appreciated. If you don't believe me here is the link displaying their new uniforms:
i just gotta say one more thing man, to the ppl who dont know what they are talkin about. KNOW WHAT YOUR TALKIN ABOUT BEFORE YOU ASK FOR SOMETHING TO BE CHANGED. for example i saw a comment that was wondering why chris aka beanie wells has a higher speed rating than knowshon moreno. Uh....the reason for that is chris wells is FASTER...duh.
Hey guys, all of the images are now linking properly.
out of the few screenshots i've seen i noticed that stafford has the wrong facemask, sanchez has the wrong facemask, freeman has the wrong facemask, and the houston texans jersey's numbers should be outlined with red
percy harvin has the wrong helmet and facemask
jason smith has the wrong helmet and facemask
tyson jackson has the wrong facemask and doesn't wear half arm sleeves
peyton manning has the wrong face mask every year, same with roderick hood and DRC
eli manning always has a rev for some reason
darius heyward bey has the wrong mask
eugene monroe has the wrong facemask
Moreno cant be 24, bailey is.
i guess aaron maybin is close enough
brian orakpo has the wrong mask
robert ayers has the wrong mask
jeremy maclin should be wearing a rev and a visor
alex mack has the wrong mask
michael oher has worn a different mask more than the one you have in the screen
peria jerry has the wrong mask
clay matthews iii has the wrong mask
EA....please do us a favor and add the additional/current face masks in the game. you guys are lagging 4 years in a row BIG TIME! please, please. no quarterback in the history of the game has worn the face mask that you have matthew stafford pictured in!!!! PLEASEEEE ADD THE FACEMASKS!!!
some of the speed ratings are real bad, when comparing them to other players (crabtree 88?). i thought there was gonna be more changes than just moving the ratings down by 3 or 4. but, if it looks real in madden, who am i to judge
I dont know if any of you read any of the blogs before this but the rating system is changed and its more realistic. players that have been 95 might be 85 even though he had a great year. They really overhauled the ratings this year which i like so i dont mind. Also With the facemasks they threw these screens together quick im sure they will get fixed. This game is still in progress so im pretty sure stuff will get fixed. so chill out ... They game looks great so far im pretty pumped
love the graphics i think that if u guys fix the helmets that this game would b the best. even if u don't get a chance to i still luv the graphics and think the game would b great.
How does one justify Hackeem Nicks having a higher speed rating than Kenny Britt when not only did Britt run the 40-yard dash faster than Nicks but he also had a higher YAC.
your ratings are all based on people oubting players ability and these people usually are broadcaster that dont know a lot about football the speed category is messed up crabtree is faster than 88 and most of the linbackers except curry are too fast cushing 84 speed really cmon a running back or wid reciever can easily run away from him but they wont be able to in madden please look at this problem also like everyone else is probably thinking PAT WHITES RATING IS TOO LOW HE SHOULD BE AT LEAST A 70 JUST BASED ON HIS ATHLETICISM REMEMBER HE CAN ACTUALLY PLAY QB please look at the comments we are only trying to help you
also i agree with alot of the comments above where in speed ratings defensive players seem to get the upper hand even though they run slower 40s and are actually slower than certain players like pettigrew he needs a higher speed rating i mean cmon the guys that rate the players are getting influenced by the haters of these players please rate the players realistically not just based on other peoples opinions base the ratings on fact
the eagles dont have the number like maclin does on the front of their helmet
ok you guys that are complaining about the facemask on the rookies,raczilla said they had to release those screens in a short time manner,so they will fix it.
Broncos pick a HB with a 87 "Vision" Rating. What is "Vision" good for in Madden?
Brandon Pettigrew's 70 speed is atrocious! He's not the fastest TE in the draft easily, however, when looking at both the combine results for 40 times: www.nfl.com/.../top-performers
You guys need to make one correction:
Michael Crabtree isn't really 6'3. That's what Texas Tech claimed he is, but he measured in at the Combine at only 6'1.
Now that the draft has hit, I hope that means we can hear about some improvements to Superstar mode soon. All it needs is:
The ability to fight up or fall down the depth chart (not always being #1)
Bring the commentary back
PLEASE do this. I will personally wash your cars for a month if you make these simple changes.
You Gave Knowshon Moreno the wrong pants!
Also please let us wear different jerseys online and add the BRONCOS ORANGE ALTERNATES AND THE AFL JERSEYS!!!
ADD all team uniforms because on madden 09 ya'll didnt have all of them
why is clay matthews a 75 and managulia is a 80...clay ran a better 40 and ray got hurt doing the 40 which he ran slower then mathews..clay has 4 times the tfl and more tackles....please impove clay matthews or make ray not as good
b.j. raji should be around 95 strength. he benched 225 33 times!! Also his acceleration and agilty should be good because experts have compared him to warren sapp when it comes to getting off the line quickly! Thats says it all seeing as warren sapp is one of the best dts of all time. Plus he had 8 sacks as a DT. thats pretty darn good for an interior d-lineman.
clay matthews should have a higher pursuit rating. if you watched him at usc you would see that he was an animal when chasing people down.
somebody had sent me a request on ps3 but i didnt accept because i havent been on the game for a while and they had canceled the request, whoever sent it send it again so i can request and i apologize for not bein able to accept it
what ya'll need to add to madden 10 franchise is the rating they had on nfl head coach 09 and the rating they had on nfl head coach 09 were
work ethic rating
intangible rating
potential rating
athletic rating
production rating
size rating
learning plays rating
durability rating
Then have personality rating such as
driven rating
loyal rating
realistic rating
consisitent rating
dependable rating
problem solver rating
patient rating
structured rating
competitive rating
efficient rating
And ratings like that should be only on franchise so that way we know who we want on are team for franchise, and that'll help us know what player fits what were looking for in a player or the type on scheme we run, because we might run hard plays to learn so we might want players with a high rating of learning plays or if we run plays that are easy to run then the players learning rating really want matter
good job with the screens and ratings guys!
i was just wondering if there are going to be any new facemasks in madden 10 because a lot of the rookies aren't wearing their college facemasks
i dont know if this has been addressed or not but ummm. y are Brian Orakpo and B.J. Raji's shoulder pads so freaking wide??.... Eugene Monroe's shoulder pads are the same way! u guys, the shoulder pads are alittle too wide and its kinda irritating.... EA, now i know u guys can see what i see!...the shoulder pads need to be smaller
I think that the overall is pretty good as in ratings but i think the graphics need improvement
i dont mind it but the overall team ratings are a extravaganza and for franchise mode there should be a team togetherness rating,that way if your the colts and its low they will play bad but if your the lions and its high they should have a better chance of competing .
make the draft more important and
realistic
all the players should be taken according to the team's needs and have some late round players that stick around and progress to become a starter with your franchise.
if a team feels that any of their positions is getting old let them draft players for future reasons.
franchise mode
let the older players be role models for the younger ones and have a knowledge rating to show the progress
thats it for now but i have more ideas coming later.
Hi, I'm a frequent Madden player I've been buying Madden since the turn of the century and I want to ask if you could include everyone in the 2009 Draft all the way to Mr. Irrelevant please because Madden 09 didn't include Chris Horton (Redskins SS) and I had to keep creating him with the wrong ratings until the middle of season when I updated the roster and he was finally there I know this is a lot to ask at the last minute but if you can not do it this year then please include everyone net year.
Thanks.
