  • Pat White's full Madden NFL 10 Ratings

    During Day 1 of the Madden Draft Experience, the biggest topic of debate has been around the 61 overall rating of rookie quarterback Pat White.  Since we only released his overall rating yesterday and not all of his individual ratings, I thought it might be interesting to post his full set of ratings in Madden NFL 10.

    Below are all of Pat White's ratings in Madden NFL 10.  What do you think?  Should his overall rating be higher, lower. or is it just right?  Based on the ratings below, how do you think Pat White will perform in Madden NFL 10 and how do you plan to use him?
