Madden NFL 12 Has Rated Four Players at 99. Overrated? Who Missed the Cut?

I like Gates, I really do, but 99 overall? Eh. Not so much.

My thoughts on the list:

Tom Brady-96
Darrelle Revis-95
Troy Polamalu-95
Antonio Gates-94

None of those players are perfect by any means, they may be elite at their respective position but 99 overalls for players has to go IMO.

Personally I'd like to see the highest rating on the game right at 95-96. If they're introducing "Dynamic Player Performance" there's got to be room to go up if you're on a hot streak (when you're in the zone) you know what I mean.

Totally agree with the last post. No player should really be a "99", leave that stuff for MUT. Mid-90's is the perfect spot for the elite players. Leaving the low 90's - high 80's for the really good players, etc.

Wow! These are perfect!? haha These are 2K rating standards.

OVR rating is worthless to me. I only care about positional ratings. The sad thing is, individual ratings are manipulated to alter the OVR [be it up or down.]

P.S. @ANDROMADA 1 next time you play BF: BC2, please try picking a class that can actually help your team instead of recon .

No way Gates should be 99 overall.

I agree with the fact that no player should be a 99 OVR right now. 99 OVR's should be for all time, hands down great players, like Barry Sanders, Walter Payton, Joe Montana, etc. However, individual ratings and the physics system don't work well enough for this to work.

What I want is that if I create Barry Sanders, and give him 99 agility, 99 acceleration and 99 juke move, as he should have, he should be able to make cuts and change directions with little loss of speed as he can in real life. He should be able to make defenders look dumb. However, with the game engine as it is, Sanders wouldn't stand out as much because other players could do these things, like anybody with 99 speed and good acceleration.

The best system would be one where, if you had all the player names removed and randomized on to teams, you could tell who you were playing with, because the system reflects his ratings that well.

Baloney, I don't agree with every player being a 99 on the Pack "just because they won the SB,", but winning 3 games on the road before the SB and smoking the Falcons on the road doesn't deserve a 99?

How did Arod go from a 99 last year do a 98 this year? Maybe you can explain that one.

I agree Manning should be a 99 too.
