Bleh! NFL 2K > Madden

Anyone else besides me think Larry Fitzgerald's 87 rating is absolutely ridiculously high? Roy Williams better get a frickin' 90 or something then

No way is Fitz a 87, hell if he is that I wonder what Clayton is going to be 93? And Evans what 91?

Also Antrel Rolle's a 83 to start it off? And Arringont = 77?

Finally Torry Holt gets some much needed love.

David Baas a 79? Gore 76?

Wow I can't wait to see the AFC East.

I like ESPN a lot better than Madden also, especially after the steaming pile of elephant crap that Madden 05 turned out to be.

But no more of that, as EA bought the NFL license and strangled the competition so they would be the only game available. 2006 better be damn good if they want me to purchase that one. After 05, I really got soured on Madden, especially with the formation shift glitch that drained the opposing defense's stamina with every shift that you do. Shift enough times, and the opposing defense looks like its running in slow motion, due to having 0 stamina.

If it sucks, Ill play ESPN for another year until the PS3 comes out and see how EA does on a new console.

With the way some of these ratings are looking, it doesnt look like they are doing that great of a job so far in the player progression department. Lets hope the gameplay gets improved, and it wouldnt kill them to add some effing presentation to their game.

93 means awesome, Chad Johnson, Eric Moulds, Tom Brady awesome.

Eric Moulds? A 93? Yeah, maybe three or four years ago. He's not nearly as good as he used to be.

I don't know, when it comes to football games, I couldn't see Brady's rating being that high. I mean, do they have categories for all of the "intangibles", such as being a clutch player who's big *bleep*in time? I doubt it, plus, he's not very mobile.

Brady is on the same level as Bulger IMO.

I can agree with that. Both 89 players, or possibly 90.

In 2k5 they have intangibles

And Drew, Brady is mobile, but not Culpepper, Vick, McNabb mobile. During games at times you can see him run around in the pocket looking for better throwing options.

Yeah he's still a pocket passer, but he moves around.
