You're acting like I'm trashing Willis and saying he sucks....all I said was the differences are so little that it certainly doesn't warrant a 3 point difference for their overall ratings....

You mean the Jason Peters that gave up 11.5 sacks in 13 games in 2008 and last year was graded as the worst at his position, according to Football Outsiders.
"It's a crime that Peters made the Pro Bowl in his first season with the Birds after signing a six-year, $60.657 million contract.
He led the team in penalties with 11, allowed 7 sacks and gave up four hurries. The Eagles sorely need Peters to improve his pass blocking no matter who is under center."

As far as Mikell being a top 5 SS, I'll assume you were joking.

To the people saying Willis and Beason are even.

Watch ONE 49ers game, and you will know why he is the BEST LB IN THE NFL.

Period.

That's where your wrong. If you look at their stats Willis has enough seperation from Beason that allows him to have a 3 point higher rating.

bottom line willis is an overall 99 linebacker... has been last 2 years... cant penalize him or drop him... so the only way is to move beason up..... but the 3 point difference is little.. as long as players are with 7 points of what they should be then u really shouldn argue.... if he was 88 overall then i would cry about it....

Ahhhh i believe you're correct!

There are a few underated players in Madden but I agree that most players are WAY overated. Last year it was supposed to be that all the positions got lowered. But with all the updates, it is almost where it used to be. That is why I do my own ratings based off of what EA claimed would be the system starting in 2010. 85+ is a pro bowler. 80 and above is a good starter. 70's are players who are starters but could be upgraded. Nowadays, if a good player is rated 78, fans get SO pissed off about it. Like that is saying he is a back up. A 78 is a solid starter. Again, that is why I just do my own ratings.

Oh and I agree with some of you that there are WAAAYYY to many 90 and ups. Madden actually stated that an 85 and above was a pro bowl caliber guy. I didn't make that up. But now it is like you need to be a 90 and above to even be considered. It is just dumb.

wow basically the same as the last update they did at the end of the year football year.
