The 6th best rookie?! Behind J.J. Watt and Prince Amukamara?! BLASPHEMY!!

Well duh you need to move him to OLB and he will jump to a 85 so he is the best...O wait that is probably where they have him since you can seperate between a 3-4 OLB and a 4-3 OLB

Lulz at Mike Pouncey's rating.... he's getting stupidly overrated because of name association. Not saying he's not good, but there's no way he's tied for the 6th best rookie in the draft.

If they have Pouncey listed as an OG, then that rating makes some sense, but if he's listed as an OC, then yeah, that's a joke.

The ratings don't look to bad, and Von is raw as a linebacker with questionable coverage skills. Seems like a good rating.

[Hoserman117]

As long as the athleticism stats are through the roof like it should be it won't matter anyways. I've never noticed there being much of a difference with guys like LB's, as long as they're fast, strong, and can jump high, they dominate in Madden.

[#87Birdman]

Every LB can super jump if they are on the computers team cause they need to knock those passes to WR 20 yards behind them some how.

It's Madden, when have they ever had spot on ratings? I will say it's a fair rating, but I would put him at 80, then raise him or drop him in roster updates depending on his in season play.

If I remember you will be able to adjust ratings whenever during the franchise so I will probably adjust some of the rookies myself and if they are better or worse just adjust them as I go.

Adjusting player ratings kinda take away from the realistic ability.

If you're going to adjust the ratings, you might as well play on Rookie Mode.

Not really, as long as you don't go overboard with it, like giving Peyton Manning 99--Speed, or something stupid like that.

But that's the problem, every casual madden gamer in America will do that every franchise they play. It's one thing to do have the feature in the madden menu, but they added it during the franchise. It just disappoints me.

The only positive I can think of, is that you can now draft DE and turn them into 34 LBs and not end up with a 65 overall project.

For you maybe, but I'm speaking on behalf of me and maybe anyone else who prefers having the stats the way the game has them.

It's more realistic for me when the stats are only touched in roster updates.

No, not for me. I personally never edit player ratings. What I'm saying is that a lot of gamers change these things themselves, reasonably.

The way I see it, it's like complaining over people editing sliders. A lot of Madden/NCAA players change them, and as long as they don't change them to their advantage, then it's a great thing to have.
