Madden NFL 13 Ratings - Complete Running Back Ratings

[eF 5ive]

No love for Bradshaw's stiff arm? :\

I am please with Foster's ratings and seeing Texans get some love - Tate as well... I do have to scratch my head as well though on the truck rating for Foster - and my only thought is perhaps in terms of gameplay - perhaps it allows Foster to fall forward after tackle than actually trucking a defender... Foster falls forward for yards alot after runs, so I can only imagine the truck rating combined with the new engine lends itself to this and not how it was prior in Madden 12? I am only guessing... otherwise - it is too high, even for my boy Foster. He is more elusive than a truck type back.

Catch rating is my guess. Stewart has a 70 catch rating, Williams has a 52 catch rating.

Agreed. I was shocked to see that his truck rating is higher than Peyton Hillis'.

I think that Jacquizz Rodgers got screwed in these ratings. He led all rookies with 19 broken tackles on just 78 carries. That's a 24.4 percent rate of broken tackles per touch. By comparison Frank Gore 4%, Peyton Hillis 2.2%, Michael Bush 4.4%. Quiz has a 54 for strength and a 42 for trucking. That is way too low. He is short, but he isn't "small". He regularly runs through much bigger guys. He should be rated a little lower than MJD in those two categories as he is the same mold of player. Not saying he should be rated high, just higher in those two categories because the way he is rated right now means he will play like a scat back, Daren Sproles type and that isn't what he does. He plays much more like MJD (running through the middle, breaking tackles, etc.). I am not wanting him to be highly rated, I just want him to play like he does in real life. I shouldn't have to avoid contact with a DB with Quizz, because in real life he would try to truck a guy like that, not run around him. Just an observation. Not all short guys are scat backs and not all big guys are great at breaking tackles.

Question for you. Did he break tackles because he was strong and ran over people of did he break tackles because he is small and elusive? What are his elusive and agility ratings?

Both... the problem is that he runs up the middle a lot... he doesn't avoid contact... they even use him in some goal line situations. He IS elusive just like MJD is, but he will also plow into you and ring your bell just like MJD will do. He is 1 inch shorter and 10 lbs lighter than MJD. Same mold, same kind of player, though no where near as good yet. The issue is that you can't really run up the middle when your strength is 54 and your truck is 42 lol.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Xoy2ZDIZO0 this will show you what I mean. He doesn't just juke guys... sometimes he lowers his head and wants to see who is the last one standing
