ThurmasThoman Posted March 31, 2020 Posted March 31, 2020 Bleacher Report is doing a madden sim: the teams are made up of each teams best player of all time at every position. All 32 teams in a tournament. Carolina beat Atlanta, and Washington just beat Dallas. Miami vs. New England right now, lol Marino v Brady. Bills v the Jets tomorrow(?) I think I know it sounds stupid but guess what? ITS AWESOME! GO PHINS!!!

For Buffalo the surprise guy might Bryce Paup because that one year he was awesome.
MJS Posted March 31, 2020 Posted March 31, 2020 Bills vs Jets shouldn't be that big of a contest. Their best QB is a guy who threw more interceptions than TD's and lost more games than he won.

Expand Vick is like the best player in Madden history, but are they basing it on Madden ratings and not real life? How do they include guys from before Madden was a thing?

JerseyBills Posted March 31, 2020 Posted March 31, 2020 Bills are going to be a very fun team to play with. Several players should get bumps in ratings. Diggs is a 93 now. 1

stevewin Posted March 31, 2020 Posted March 31, 2020 Would prob pick Cribbs over McGahee, but I'm sure there's a bias towards players who played when the game existed (and player already instantiated in game)

hondo in seattle Posted March 31, 2020 Posted March 31, 2020 I'm too old for Madden but this does seem like a fun thing to follow for those staying at home. But, man, I have a lot of problems with the player ratings.

MJS Posted March 31, 2020 Posted March 31, 2020 Here's the Bills roster they are using. I think there's some questionable inclusions (Willis McGahee!?): Jim Kelly, QB (91 OVR) OJ Simpson, RB (97 OVR) Thurman Thomas, RB (94 OVR) Willis McGahee, RB (86 OVR) Andre Reed, WR (92 OVR) Eric Moulds, WR (87 OVR) Lee Evans, WR (86 OVR) Elbert Dubenion, WR (85 OVR) Charles Clay, TE (84 OVR) Joe DeLamielleure, OL (91 OVR) Kent Hull, OL (90 OVR) Ruben Brown, OL (89 OVR) Will Wolford, OL (88 OVR) Howard Ballard, OL (87 OVR) Bruce Smith, DL (98 OVR) Pat Williams, DL (89 OVR) Kyle Williams, DL (89 OVR) Jerry Hughes, DL (83 OVR) Takeo Spikes, LB (89 OVR) Cornelius Bennett, LB (87 OVR) Sam Cowart, LB (82 OVR) Butch Byrd, CB (92 OVR) Nate Clements, CB (87 OVR) Tre'Davious White, CB (85 OVR) Micah Hyde, FS (86 OVR) Jordan Poyer, SS (80 OVR) Players I particularly don't think belong include: Willis McGahee, Lee Evans, Sam Cowart, and Jerry Hughes. Some notable players not included, in my opinion (not sure how they would get Madden ratings for some of these, but they have OJ somehow): Tom Sestak, Fred Smerlas, Mike Stratton, Nate Odomes, Billy Shaw. Even Mario Williams should be in over Jerry Hughes. Hughes has never had double digit sacks. 1
