When "Dirty Rhonda" is hitting the sticks with you more than the screen will shake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please, I'm sorry then as I don't want to insult your sensibilities...Still posting it, though, so maybe you can hold your nose if you feel like going through this, if for no other reason then to just say you read the ratings before posting your disdain and/or total lack of interest for a game you came in to post about. https://realsport101.com/madden/madden-22-best-teams-ratings-highest-rated-team-buccaneers-chiefs-packers-ravens Top 10: Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 92 OVR Kansas City Chiefs, 90 OVR Green Bay Packers, 89 OVR Baltimore Ravens, 88 OVR Cleveland Browns, 87 OVR Buffalo Bills, 86 OVR Dallas Cowboys, 86 OVR Arizona Cardinals, 85 OVR Tennessee Titans, 85 OVR Los Angeles Chargers, 84 OVR I am the guy who stated that I thought Cleveland was a better team than ours, overall,...that said this still sucks., especially given their schedule last year. It is one thing for me to say it on a Board and another for someone to say, "What the heck, sounds good, book it!" in the primary simulation of the League that millions will play. ...Jerks. Worse...Dallas...Dallas? Really?! We are hanging out in the same vicinity as the Cowboys? They were really only bad after Dak got hurt?! 🙄 I am an extremely passive individual who loves animals and tasty meals that usually involve a sauce of some sort. However, I am willing to pull up these sleeveless sleeves and fight any game developer over at EA Tiburon to defend the honor of my...for now...local football team. I would ask for 2nds and 3rds (not food, but back-ups) from this Board on this endeavor, but let's be honest I am not that popular around here and the lack of support would be...awkward. GO BILLS! It’s been known for years that most of the development team is Texas based and the huge bias towards Cowboys. literally YEARS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then probably Packers and Bills tied for 2nd. At worst I'd maybe put Packers just 1 point ahead of Bills if any. Then we get to... Ravens Browns/Titans I think are neck n neck Chargers Cardinals Cowboys (wouldn't be in top 10 imo) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDawkinstein Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Good to be back at the top and grouped with the winners, but yeah, they are off a little bit. TB and KC... fine. GB at 89... ok But then should have Bills at 88 Ravens 87 Cleveland 86 IMO. Of course, that is an opinion of a Bills fan. But we should be ahead of the Ravens, and certainly the Browns. May have made more sense to go... TB 92 KC 91 GB 90 Bills 89 Ravens 88 Browns 87 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJS Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Why are the Cardinals considered a top 10 team? And the Cowboys? Neither of them were winning teams last year or the year before. Both teams are overrated. Cowboys are perennially overrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what's annoying. Cleveland can be good and Dallas can be good, but man they should not necessarily be breathing our air right now. Buffalo, in its entire madden history was usually scored consistent with what they did the year before. No projection at all. I know the conversation would never go like this and this is an oversimplification, but I can't imagine it would go in the drawing board room at EA like, "The BIlls were an 83 last year, but whoa nelly, look out for them this year...90!" ...but apparently this happens easily with other teams.

You know it is what it is. We might not have the star power at the top like those other teams We are built like a true football team top to bottom. Not one Part is more important than the sum of the whole It's not like we got seven all pros on the roster We just got 52 good football players I remember during the drought era some of our overalls were like 71.. I'll gladly take an 86 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alphadawg7 Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Ratings should be based on the quality of the roster, not their finish the previous season in terms of record. Teams both under and over achieve every year, so record cant be the end-all, be-all way of determining ratings. That being said, Bills defense was mediocre at best last year, its not surprising to see our rating at an 86 with a potent offense and mediocre defense last year. I dont think this is crazy to have us at an 86 and 6th overall. Now, I do fully believe our defense will be much improved this year, but that isnt going to really impact Maddens ratings before the season begins. We didnt add any big established talent to it, we added some role players, good ones, but not super star like guys and we added some rookies. And those type of players are not going to make a big swing in the ratings overall for our defense in Madden. Now, the real travesty was rating the runner up MVP last year an 88, same rating he had the year before. That was ridiculous. Josh Allen should have been at least a 92 a 94 for his elite play making ability, much improved accuracy, dangerous running ability, and the strongest arm in the game. He sure as heck should have been higher than Lamar and more on par with Wilson. Heck, Watson should also have been higher than Lamar. Not to mention, how is Rodgers not a 99 coming off one of the best seasons all time as a QB and an MVP? But...at the end of the day...who really cares about these ratings anyway, means nothing. And honestly, I really do LOVE the fact they "disrespected" Allen, because hes been using that as motivation and that is fine by me! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
