Ratings are changed for playing in CCM. I will see if I can find the article or thread that explains this. DSThom , lilgame06 , GlennN and 4 others like this.
Overall is a overview of key attributes for the selected player scheme in ccm. As with all overalls they are largely pointless to view on there own. At least with schemes it give a more defined meaning. Go balanced if you want a generic overall. But get to know what each attribute does in game and whats key for certain positions which is normaly sorted on the depth chart quite well if you go through the positions. On the player in not updated positions. The offline updates are normaly behind online and different to other modes squad updates.
BB code is On. Smilies are On. Trackbacks are Off. Pingbacks are Off. Refbacks are Off. All times are GMT When you see their ratings in the in-game depth chart, that's their actual rating, or at least the way Madden calculates it without taking into account for the scheme you run. So the in-game ratings are the "true" player ratings Wtf is that. There are so many opaque properties in this game, when it comes to ratings, traits - it's bad when the users don't even know wtf is going on.
And what about the TE, he had a rating of 85 in the draft and development of 3. But in game, his rating goes way down to a 66 thought it was If he was "really"only a 66 why would his draft rating be so high?
You telling me we spend all of those scout points on nothing? I honestly don't know why they had to complicate it like this. But yes, the in-game depth chart shows you their true stats. Its stupid that I have to do that and remember how to order my players in the other depth chart "There is no I in team, but there is a me in team.
If you jumble up the letters. User Info: Susumurin. The scheme type listed with a player seems to be the system they've spent most of their career in, from what I can tell, it doesn't mean a whole lot ratings wise, as I've had several players that the game says don't fit my scheme but who excel at the player type I'm looking for.
It probably affects some hidden property, but tells you diddly about how his overall rating will turn out. That's how two players with the same scheme type can have drastically different ratings changes between their generic overall rating and player type specific rating.
Personally I wouldn't reaarange my whole depth chart based on the generics. If a guy fits what you're looking for, who cares about how another team might see his value? The roster ratings show you the players ratings based on what scheme you run. The ingame depth chart shows you their default ratings. You may think "why?
The Giants are in a little transition here. Ahmad Bradshaw is the starter, and he's solid with an 88 overall rating. But his injury rating is only a I like the rookie David Wilson. He's faster than Bradshaw, 94 to 92 and I think that will increase when the updates begin. Henry Hynoski is a strong blocker with an 82 run-block strength, but he's slow and has a 71 awareness. He's just a decent blocking fullback.
This is possibly the best starting receiving corp in Madden Hakeem Nicks is one of the team's overall best with a 94 overall rating. He has a 95 spectacular catch and catch rating, and he also has a 96 catch-in-traffic rating. I guess it pays to have enormous hands. Nicks is 24 and Cruz is 25, this a common theme with the Giants on Madden 13 : 90 overall ratings and youth.
That said, they have almost nothing in the slot. There is a huge drop-off to Ramses Barden, who has a 69 overall. He's huge at 6'6", but his 61 awareness rating and 56 in route running could hurt. The TE's are just so-so with Martellus Bennett being the best. He has a 79 overall rating, but he doesn't have the type of speed 77 to cause a ton of problems for coverage.
They are rated 81 and 88, respectively. But the middle and the edges are just decent. Teams with top notch edge-rushers can get to Eli, and possibly test the validity of that 98 injury rating. The guards make it easy to run inside and help on plays where they have to pull. But the tackles may struggle holding their blocks on runs off their outside shoulders.
This is still a strength of the Giants' defense and team. JPP is a beast at 96 overall, and here's that theme again, he's just 23 years old. He has an 85 speed rating, and his pass-rush ratings are off the charts. An 84 in power moves, 99 in finesse moves and 98 in pursuit. Justin Tuck isn't far behind, he's at 93 overall. A bit of a forgotten guy is Osi Umenyiora, but he is at an 88 overall as a third DE.
The DT position is pretty solid as well. Chris Canty and Larry Joseph are solid with an 87 and 82 rating, respectively. But keep an eye on Marvin Austin in your CC.
He's only 23, but he has a speed rating of He could be a riser through your virtual seasons. He only has a 73 speed rating, and a 76 overall. Mathias Kiwanuka 83 and Michael Boley 81 are both in the 80s for their overall rating.
Corey Webster 87 and Terrell Thomas 86 are below 90 in that category. That generally is a good benchmark in speed for your starting corners, but the G-Men's duo falls short.
But they both tackle well, and their overall ratings are decent: an 89 for Webster and 85 for Thomas. Prince Amukumara is a solid nickel-back. He has good speed with a 93, and he will probably be the starter in coming years in your CC.
The Giants' defensive line needs to get pressure because the safeties don't have a lot of speed either. If fast receivers are allowed to get deep into their routes, the Giants' secondary could be in trouble. Neither Antrel Rolle 86 , nor Kenny Phillips 89 cracks the mark. This is not a strong suit for the Giants. The kicking game is just average, and Jerrel Jernigan is one of the least dangerous kick returners on Madden The Skins' QB situation is solid, especially if you're looking at using them as a coach in Connected Careers.
Robert Griffin III is a year-old rookie, but he's already at an 83 overall rating. He has a 93 speed and 95 throwing power. His awareness is low, as you would expect with a rookie, but it's clear the best is yet to come with him. Rex Grossman and rookie Kirk Cousins offer viable backup options. Grossman has a 75 overall and Cousins' 72 overall rating is solid for a rookie, and a third-stringer.
Ultimately, he'll be RG3's backup as the years on your CC progress, unless you trade one or both of them. The backfield is not as promising for Washington. Roy Helu, Jr. That equates to a 79 overall, and he won't be among the best RBs in the game, at least not in the retail version.
Santana Moss and Pierre Garcon are fairly solid with an 83 and 82 respectively, but they won't win many jump-balls. Neither of them is over six-feet tall, and that could pose some gamers an issue. Fred Davis is one of the better pass-catching TEs in the game. He has an 83 overall, and his 84 speed and 87 catch rating will cause some issues for your opponents' LB core. The Skins' line is just so-so. It's anchored by Willams at LT, and he is one of the top three players on the Skins' roster.
But he and Kory Lichtensteiger are the only two O-Lineman that crack the overall rating mark. The Skins play a Base , and their three down linemen are all big. Each of them weigh over pounds, but none are particularly dominant. The current depth chart has Jarvis Jenkins starting ahead of Adam Carriker on the left side, but you may want to change that.
Carriker has a higher rating. He's faster and he has higher awareness. This is where Washington's defense is nasty. Their combination of Orakpo, Fletcher, Ryan Kerrigan and Perry Riley can wreak havoc as pass-rushers and in run support. Orakpo and Fletcher round out the last two spots of the Skins' top three players, and Kerrigan isn't far behind with an overall.
They have 86 and overall ratings, respectively. Both are blazing fast as well with a 97 and speed ratings. The nickel back is a bit of a fall-off, especially in the speed department.
Cedric Griffin is a respectable 76 overall, but his speed rating of an 85 could make him a target for teams with a speedy slot receiver.
You may have to switch Hall or Wilson in these situations, but that would leave Griffin on a No. The safeties could be an issue for the Skins as well. Brandon Merriweather has good speed with a 91, but his awareness 70 and tackle rating 65 are low. Tanard Jackson is the free safety, but he lacks the speed 86 to provide assistance deep on a burner. Brian Banks is an excellent kick and punt returner. He's small, but he has a 97 speed and a high nineties rating in all elusive categories.
The kickers and punter aren't anything too special. Neil Rackers is at a 79 overall and Sav Rocca is rated a The Bears have a very solid QB situation. Jay Cutler is the clear starter, and he has a cannon for an arm. He has a 98 throwing power, and only Matthew Stafford of the Detroit Lions has a stronger arm. Cutler's accuracy ratings dip him to a still solid 87 overall. Campbell has a 79 overall rating, so he should be able to hold the fort better than Caleb Hanie did last season.
The Bears backfield is just about as strong—if not stronger—than the QBs. They finally inked Matt Forte, and he's one of the best runners on the game with a 93 overall rating. His versatility makes him one of the most dangerous players on the game. Michael Bush is also a very capable second option. Bush should be to Forte what he was to Darren McFadden over the last few seasons.
He's an 83 overall with an 86 speed, so he isn't a burner, but he can get the tough yardage with his 94 truck rating. Tyler Clutts is the blocking FB, but he isn't exactly a difference maker with a 66 overall rating. I for one, will be using Bush and Forte in the backfield together in some sets, so there. This is where the Bears have improved the most. The addition of Brandon Marshall gives the Bears a premier receiver for the first time in a long while.
Marshall is also among the best at his position on the game. He has a 91 overall rating, with an 88 in speed and a 85 in catching.
Devin Hester is the second best player here for now, with a 78 overall. This rating is largely fueled by his 98 speed rating and 99 in acceleration. But I think the rookie Alshon Jeffery will overtake him after a few roster updates. He has looked good in two preseason games, and I think he will leap frog Hester on the real-life depth chart. The RT is unproven with Gabe Carimi, but he does have a 79 overall rating, which is the highest of the unit.
But this is one of the main areas a Connected Careers coach needs to address with the Bears. Peppers makes everyone on the Bears' defense better. If you are good with varying your pass-rushing moves, you can wreak havoc with Pep. The rest of the Bears' defensive line benefits from his presence. Israel Idonije has had the best years of his career on the opposite side of Peppers.
He had five sacks in , and he's a solid run stuffer. The tackles aren't as dominant, but Henry Melton is very athletic and Matt Toeaina has an impressive strength rating. Speaking of strength ratings, combine freak Stephen Paea is lurking as a possibility at this position as well.
Brian Urlacher's knee probably won't keep him off the retail roster, even if you have the pre-existing injury option on. He and Lance Briggs make the LB corps a strong one. Urlacher is second only to Peppers in overall rating for the Bears with a 95, and Briggs is a stout 92 overall. If you are a Connected Careers coach for the Bears, you'll have to get Urlacher's successor on the team as soon as possible. The corners are decent with Charles Tillman and Tim Jennings, but Peanut is nearing the end of a distinguished career, but he still has an 89 overall rating.
The scheme depends heavily on the range and awareness of the free safety, and up to now Chris Conte is unproven. This is always a strong unit for the Bears. Devin Hester is the greatest return man in the history of the sport. He has a 99 overall in that role, and even Eric Weems is a solid performer in this role. Matthew Stafford is one of the most overrated players on the game in my opinion, but I understand why he is rated a 91 overall.
I got two words for you: Calvin Johnson. The stats are what they are, so it would be impossible to decrease his rating too much.
But I point to these accuracy numbers and I cry foul: 96 short accuracy, 88 medium accuracy and 87 deep accuracy. Many of Stafford's passes are not throw with a ton of touch or accuracy, but Megatron doesn't require much accuracy. Backing Stafford is Shaun Hill, and he's serviceable with a 76 overall rating, but Megatron can make anyone look good. The Lions are hurting here—in a way. I say "in a way" because Jahvid Best is the starter with a modest 81 overall, but he has a 97 speed rating and a 95 acceleration.
Though he lacks in a few areas, he does have game breaking speed. With the passing game the Lions have, Best could pop a few huge gainers against you, or you on Madden Kevin Smith is his backup, and he has only a 78 overall rating. Almost every one of the Lions' RBs have troublesome injury ratings. Smith has an 83 and Best has a 67 in that category. It's a good thing they have so many. The cover athlete has a 99 overall rating, and he deserves it, period.
He is the single most physically gifted receiver I've ever seen, and I've been watching football for a long time. He's clearly the best weapon in the passing game in real life, and in Madden The isn't much to shout about with the Lions receivers after Megatron.
Nate Burleson has a 77 overall rating, and Titus Young has a I've heard grumblings about Young being underrated, but I don't think he accomplished enough as a rookie to warrant more than a 75 overall. Pettigrew is an 84 overall and Scheffler has a 77 overall. I'd love to use some dual TE sets with Megatron on the outside. The Lions' offensive line has been together for a while. As a unit they are pretty solid from left to right.
Jeff Backus 81 overall and Rob Sims 88 overall are the best of the bunch and they anchor the left side. Looking up the middle, Dominic Raiola and Stephen Peterman are steady, but Gosder Cherilus is the weakest link with a 76 overall rating. The Lions young defensive line is ferocious, and besides the Stafford-to-Megatron connection, this is the best thing the team has going for it. They likely represent the future of the interior line, but for now veteran Corey Williams starts alongside Suh.
Cliff Avril 89 overall and Kyle Vanden Bosch 82 overall had a combined 19 sacks in The Lions' linebackers are a nice group. Stephen Tulloch anchors the bunch with a solid 90 overall rating.
They are young, so a Connected Careers coach should feel comfortable with this group now and into the immediate future. Cornerback is a definite position of need for the Lions. Chris Houston is the only corner on the roster that cracks the 80 overall mark. At an 83 overall rating he isn't exactly a shutdown corner. Alphonso Smith and Aaron Berry are next in line, but the drop-off is clear.
Smith has a 74 overall and Berry a This should be your main focus in Connected Careers. I believe Louis Delmas is underrated with a 83 overall rating. If you play with pre-exisiting injuries on, he'll probably be out at the beginning of your season. Amari Spievey is the best bet at strong safety because of his speed 86 and age 24 years old. Though he and Erik Coleman are both rated a 77 overall. At 42 years old, Jason Hanson is still kicking—literally.
He has a solid 87 overall rating, but his successor should be signed shortly. The punting game isn't great with Ryan Donahue and his 60 overall rating. Stefan Logan is a returner extraordinaire. He has a 96 rating as a return man with a 94 speed rating. He can be dangerous, and the last thing you want to do is give this team good field position. Rodgers is the highest-rated QB in the game, and though I still favor Tom Brady, how can you argue with Rodgers' 99 overall rating.
He can fling it, he's mobile and he runs the Packers' offense with poise and efficiency. But if he gets hurt, and you're controlling the Packers, you are in trouble.
The fall-off from Rodgers to Graham Harrell is monumental. Harrell has a 66 overall rating, and that is a whole 33 points less than Rodgers. I suppose it wouldn't really be fair if the Pack had a stud RB to go with Rodgers and their awesome receiving corp. No fear, the Packers have the lowest-rated starting RB in the game—at least for now. James Starks has only a 77 overall rating. He has a 90 speed rating, but he dips way off in all of the other key categories.
The Packers did sign Cedric Benson, so that could be an improvement. We'll have to see what rating he gets when he's added to the Packers' roster. But for now, fullback John Kuhn is the highest-rated player in the backfield. The Packers really shine in this area. Greg Jennings is a well-deserved 93 overall.
Jordy Nelson has a solid 89 overall, and that tandem is only eclipsed by the Giants starters in total overall rating. To make the passing attack even more dangerous, tight end Jermichael Finley has an 86 overall rating with an 85 in speed.
Even the third receiver James Jones has a 79 overall. As great as Rodgers is, he doesn't do it alone. His receiver corps is great, but so is the O-Line. The Packers won't miss a beat at center—at least on Madden—with the departure of center Scott Wells. They signed longtime Colt Jeff Saturday, and he has a 90 overall.
On Saturday's right side is the underrated but dominant Josh Sitton, and he has a 95 overall rating. The only question mark on an otherwise dominating O-Line is at LT. Marshall Newhouse has only a 73 overall rating.
Ryan Pickett 85 overall rating and B. Raji 84 overall rating are big and nasty, but Jarius Wynn isn't a standout at LE. Luckily he has Clay Matthews off his left shoulder to add pressure. The Packers' LBs are pretty scary. Matthews is a maniac on the left side with a 94 overall rating. Desmond Bishop 86 overall and A. Hawk 83 overall are solid inside. For now, rookie Nick Perry has only a 73 overall, but his ratings could rise through the season, and definitely in your Connected Careers.
Charles Woodson is 35 years old, but he also still has an 89 overall rating. Tramon Williams is right behind him with an overall rating of The nickel and dime backs are a bit of a drop-off, but at least Sammy Shields has a blazing speed rating of Free Safety Morgan Burnett has only been in the league two years, but he has an overall rating of an Charlie Peprah is the only member of the Packers' secondary that doesn't have an 80 overall or higher.
Mason Crosby is among the better kickers on Madden He has an overall rating of 83, but he has a stick of dynamite in his leg. His kick power rating is a Tim Masthay is just average at the punter position. His overall rating of 76 is enough to turn the field around, but not on a Pro Bowl level.
Randall Cobb is the return man, and his 94 rating in this role makes him a valuable weapon to an already devastating offense. This is definitely not one of the Vikings strongest positions, and that partially explains why they weren't very good in Christian Ponder is the starter with a 75 overall rating. He has decent mobility with a rating of 75 in speed, but his awareness is a very modest The backup situation isn't very promising either. Sage Rosenfels has only a 70 overall rating.
In a Connected Career, you may want to start looking for a franchise QB. AP is the truth, and I defy anyone to dispute his 97 overall rating. It is indeed an 84, so that would explain Peterson not being a 99 overall. That said, you may have to use that backup RB during your season. Toby Gerhart has a 75 overall rating, and he'll be a decent backup. But with the Vikings poor passing attack, you're screwed if Peterson goes down.
If this group was better, it could hide the fact that Ponder is underwhelming. Percy Harvin has an 87 overall rating—which I think is about two or three points too high—and the ultra athletic Jerome Simpson has an In case you were wondering Simpson has a 98 jump rating.
That is definitely significant, but with the hops he's displayed he should have been rated a I love Larry Fitzgerald, and he's a better overall player than Simpson, but there is no way anyone should have a higher jump rating than Simpson. The Vikings' O-Line should be much improved. John Sullivan is the best player on the O-Line, and the starting center has an overall rating of We know about Jared Allen and his 98 overall rating, but Brian Robison is no slouch on the other side.
He has an overall rating of an Kevin Williams is a stud at DT with an overall rating of 94, but the Vikes lack depth there. Chad Greenway is the best of the bunch with an overall rating of Erin Henderson is the other OLB, and he has an overall rating of But the MLB spot is the position that is hurting the most.
Antoine Winfield is the only Vikings' DB rated higher than a 75 overall. That isn't good, especially in a division with the Bears, Lions and Packers. What's even worse is that Winfield is 35 years old, so he won't be around long in your Connected Careers. Harrison Smith is a mildly promising rookie at free safety, but this unit still needs some attention.
Without Ryan Longwell the Vikes' kicking game has fallen off. Rookie Blair Walsh is only rated a 66 overall. Harvin is a dynamic kick returner, and he could help the Vikes' offense out with field position, and they may need all the help they can get.
That is probably one of the first questions you'll have to answer if you choose the Bucs in a Connected Careers experience. He's an 82 overall, but the physical skills are undeniable. He has a rating of 97 in throwing power, but your challenge will be to boost his 70 awareness rating. Dan Orlovsky is a solid backup, but if you don't like Freeman, you'll have to grab a QB. I love Doug Martin in real life, but he's a rookie so he isn't a stud on Madden yet.
He has just a 76 overall rating, but that 95 acceleration rating is a hint of things to come. LeGarrette Blount is the highest-rated back at The Bucs would be better off if Martin's ratings increased, and the two formed a thunder and lightning-like duo. Now that Freeman has an unquestioned No. With this O-Line and the addition of Jackson at receiver, Freeman should have a solid year. The Bucs have built a solid wall in front of their QB, and it starts with free agent pick up Carl Nicks.
He has a 97 overall rating and is clearly one of the best players at his position in Madden Davin Joseph is also a stud at the other guard position. He represents with an overall rating of Only the center and RT spots don't feature players with an overall rating of 80 or higher. The best thing about the Bucs D-Line is its youthfulness. None of the starters are over 25 years old, and the lowest overall rating is a Gerald McCoy 84 overall , Michael Bennett 81 overall and Adrian Clayton 80 overall make up a solid group to build around.
Quincy Black 73 overall , Mason Foster 74 overall and rookie Lavonte David 71 overall are all rated well below 80 overall. The Bucs need a CB to add to the secondary. Aqib Talib is rated an 89 overall, but the next highest rated corner is Eric Wright. The ageless Ronde Barber is 37 years old, but he is still rated an 87 overall. Rookie Mark Barron may be the best young player on the defense. Conor Barth is a solid kicker as his 82 overall rating would indicate.
I'd much rather have Martin Grammatica, though. The punting is handled nicely by Michael Koenen. He has an 84 overall rating, and rounds out a pretty solid kicking tandem. You may have to do something unconventional with the return game. Sammie Stroughter is not a weapon, yet he's placed in that position. Matt Ryan is the franchise QB in Atlanta. He has an 89 overall rating, and in 89 awareness. He'll be a solid choice for your starter for a while. Chris Redman is a drop-off as his backup.
He has only a 73 overall rating, but the Falcons have a nice complement of weapons, even for the mediocre QB. Michael Turner made the top 10 HBs list with a 91 overall rating. He has a 98 in trucking so he can wreak havoc on those inside runs.
The Falcons also have Jacquizz Rodgers as his backup. He's a little guy, and he's not exceptionally fast, but he's quick as a hiccup. EA did a great job of capturing Rodgers unique abilities with his 97 acceleration rating. Rodgers has only a 74 overall rating, though. Jason Snelling is a more than capable FB. His 74 overall rating will be just fine in this offense. The Falcons are amongst the elite on the game in this category.
Roddy White has a 94 overall rating, which is the sixth-best rating among receivers. Julio Jones has an 88, and I gotta believe that number is on the rise. Tony Gonzalez has an 87 overall, but if you take the Falcons you know he won't be on your team for long in Connected Careers.
Still, this unit is an awesome one, and it rounds out a very good offense for the Falcons. At RT, Tyler Clabo has a 90 overall rating. Todd McClure 89 overall and Justin Blalock 85 overall both are among the better players at their positions.
John Abraham is still a top-notch pass-rusher, and he's rated a 94 overall. Ray Edwards definitely pulls his weight on the other side. Jonathan Babineaux 87 overall and Corey Peters 82 overall will make it tough to run on the Falcons.
Lofa Tatupu is only rated a 75 overall and Stephen Nicholas is rated a Fortunately, the D-Line can be dominant so it can take pressure of this unit. The starting corners Brent Grimes 90 overall and Asante Samuel 88 overall can match up with any tandem. Dunta Robinson may be prone to the bone-headed play in real life, but you can hopefully improve his football IQ on Madden Thomas DeCoud 82 overall and William Moore 81 overall are not a superstar safety tandem, but they are certainly not a weakness on the team.
Matt Bryant is in the upper-echelon of kickers on Madden He's rated an 88 overall. The other Matt that kicks balls for the Falcons isn't quite as good. Matt Bosher is only rated a decent 73 overall. Without Eric Weems, the Falcons don't have an explosive kick returner.
Dominique Franks may be the guy for now, but his 83 overall rating in the role isn't exciting. Cam Newton is perhaps the best young QB you can have on Madden He's already had enough success to warrant an 89 overall rating, but at only 23 years old, his best years are ahead of him. Derek Anderson is Cam's backup, and he has a 73 overall rating. Anderson isn't nearly as mobile as Cam, but he may be able to keep your team from falling apart for a game or two. Mike Tolbert is one of the top three rated fullbacks on the game with an 89 overall rating.
He has decent blocking ratings 66 run block and 72 impact blocking , but his speed 84 and catching 78 make him a versatile weapon. Williams is the speed back with a 93 rating, and Stewart the more power-based back, but still decently fast with a 90 rating. Steve Smith is the fourth-highest rated receiver on the game with a 95 overall.
He isn't big, but he has a 96 speed and a 95 catching rating. There is a fall-off on the other side of the line of scrimmage, though. Brandon LaFell is the next highest rated receiver at a 74 overall. Greg Olsen is one of the better tight ends on the game. He has a 84 overall rating, and an 87 speed. The latter will make him a matchup problem for most LBs. It may go unnoticed, but the Panthers have one of the best O-Lines on Madden
