This is sad....How can a TEAM that gave up 43 sacks(minn)are that much better rated than a team that gave up 17 sacks(atl).....

............................Im at a loss for words.................

I would be OK with this if Donny came and at least told me his thinking behind this. But to anyone looking in from the outside how can it be a logical thing to make a team that gave up 26 more sacks than the other that much better than them

Brennan is really a 49? He at least needs to be higher than Brohm. Idc if he is a 51. He is better than Brohm.

I just want 1 then I will leave it alone

So last week I did this for the NFC North, I did it for the South this week. These are the best players in the NFC South in each category.


- The Overall best player in the division is Tony Gonzalez, Falcons, with a 98 OVR. (get used to seeing his name in this list)

- The two fastest guys in are Steve Smith and Reggie Bush, unfortunately only one of them can actually use that talent. 97 Speed.

- Reggie Bush does have the fastest acceleration though, with a 98. So the game should properly replicate him trying to hit a hole prematurely, only to bounce outside and get tackled for a 3 yard loss.

- The strongest player in the div. is the Panthers’ DT, Ma’ake Kemoeatu, with a 97. The last letters in his name spell “EAT U.”

- The two most agile players are again Bush and Smith, 98 AGI.

- Gonzo is the most aware player in the div. 99 AWR.

- Gonzo also has the best catch rating with a 95.

- Falcons’ Michael Turner has the best carry rating with a 98, surprised Gonzo wasn’t the highest in that too given the current trend.

- QB Josh Freeman has the strongest arm in the division with a 96. Unfortunately his 78 accuracy rating is going to make it so D-backs hands will be broken.

- As if I had to write this, Breesus has the best overall accuracy with a 97.

- Let me go ahead and make this short, Breesus also has all of the best sub-accuracy ratings too. Play action as well.

- The best throw on the run rating goes to Bucs’ QB Josh Freeman though. 85

- Falcons’ Michael Koenen the Puntarian has the most kick power with 94.

- Jason Elam and John Kasay are the most accurate kickers with 93 each.

- Double Trouble will have no trouble with Jeff Otah’s 96 runblock rating.

- Unfortunately Bojangles Delhomme will still throw 6 INTs even though Jordon Gross is the best pass blocker with a 96 rating.

- Jon Beason gets invited on a lot of fishing trips because of his great tackle, 96 tackle rating

- Aquib Talib actually wrote the keyboard notes on the Van Halen hit, Jump, he’s got a 97 jump rating. (not my best effort)

- Apply postage or get ready to have your stuff returned by Reggie Bush and J-Stew, 90 Return rating.

- Michael The Burner Turner, can’t be put out. 99 Injury rating.

- Have fun keeping up with Steve Smith in the 4th quarter with his 99 stamina rating.

- Steve Smith and Kellen Winslow both grew up in Tuffburg, with a 99 toughness rating.

- Michael Turner plays best on the road with a 97 trucking rating.

- Deangelo and Bush have the best elusiveness rating with a 97. Unfortunately one uses it on d-backs, the other uses it in the backfield.

- Deangelo and Turner might not have 20/20 vision, but they have 96 ball carrier vision.

- Michael Turner gets a 95 stiff arm rating. The ratings guy did not see the Panthers/Bucs 2nd game.

- Reggie Bush has a vicious 97 spin move he originally developed in dance class as a child.

- Bush also has a 99 juke move, which will help him to bounce outside more quickly.

- Davin Joseph has the best impact block rating, 92.

- Jeff Otah has the best runblock strength with a 97.

- Gross has 95 runblock footwork.

- Jammal Brown has the best passblock strength with a 97.

- Gross has 96 passblock footwork.

- Julius Peppers has the best power move with an 87.

- But his strength comes from Peppers’ 97 finesse move.

- KemoEATU has the best block shedding rating with a 93.

- Jon Beason achieves his goals with a 98 pursuit rating.

- Ronde Barber has the best play recognition with a 99. Unfortunately the only way to
recognize him when standing next to his brother, is to find the least smug looking one.

- It’s a three way tie with man coverage, Malcolm Jenkins, Chris Gamble and Richard Marshall all have 85.

- But Barber separates himself with a 97 zone coverage rating. Unfortunately the Bucs just hired Jim Bates as their defensive coordinator, so that’s practically useless.

- Antonio Bryant earned some recognition with that one handed grab to get a 96 spectacular catch.

- Gonzo and Colston have the best catch in traffic with a 97.

- And Gonzo has the best route running ability with a 98.

- Jermaine Phillips is the hardest hitter with a 96.

- And Ronde has the best press rating with a 95.

- To counter that, Gonzo (again) and Colston have the best release ratings with 96.

Yes, Minnesota gave up 43 sacks and Atlanta gave up only 17, but you have to look at the lines as well as the quarterback. The Vikings no doubt have two of the best o-linemen in Hutchinson and McKinnie, but they are both on the left side. If you look at their right side though, it drops off so much. The Falcons, who might not have the all-star cast, they are a better rounded line, so they can co-exist better. Also the Vikings used Tavaris Jackson and Gus Frerotte, while the Falcons used Matt Ryan, who is a much better QB. Finally, that PBK and RBK rating that they give us is a combination of a few ratings, I can't remember how many, but I don't even think that is a solid rating in the game itself

I hear what your saying man but you said
"Also the Vikings used Tavaris Jackson and Gus Frerotte, while the Falcons used Matt Ryan, who is a much better QB"
How does a rookie have better vision in the pocket than an guy in his 16th season in Gus Frerotte and a guy in his 4th year in TJ.......
Matt Ryan played ball at BC which is in the ACC a division that isnt even the top 2 of the NCAA in speed and strength and your saying that he can make the transition to game speed in the NFL better than a guy who has been playing in the NFL almost as long as I have been alive

And you said this
"The Vikings no doubt have two of the best o-linemen in Hutchinson and McKinnie, but they are both on the left side. If you look at their right side though, it drops off so much."

the right side of their(minn) line still is around the same (1 is even better and 1 is 2 points under) rated than the Best pass blocker from ATL

"Finally, that PBK and RBK rating that they give us is a combination of a few ratings, I can't remember how many, but I don't even think that is a solid rating in the game itself"

I hope this is true becuz I just cant seem to find any way that these ratings are the way they are....And I cant just change them myself becuz I am a online player and I have never used any other team online other than ATL becuz I know their roster up and down and how everyone should be used

@ WFColonel56

I feel ya. There are countless players I have issues with and several facts to back why they are completely messed up but it doesnt seem like we will get an official answer from a dev why certain players got certain stats. Regardless of the new ratings system, some players just got the shaft for reasons that I cant logically figure out. I have no problem with seeing players having lower stats but when you compare other players to each other it raises a lot of questions.

[WFColonel56]

Thanks man.

PLUS I HAVE A PROB WITH Jon Beason......jk

That man is a beast, I went to the game last year when they played the 49ers in CAR....He was a down right animal

To true. I thought the panthers were done fairly solid. My only beef is J Stewart's truck and stiff arm ratings in comparison to other RBs is way to low. Players like LT and Thomas Jones have 87 truck and Stewart is only one point higher then them. LT and Jones are maybe overrated on their trucking because they are very balanced backs/explosive backs and rarely will drag a pile or smack someone silly like other RBs.

Stewart(88 truck) and Frank Gore(87 truck) are on the same level(maybe 1-3 points lower then them IRL) to trucking as Steven Jackson(95 truck) and Micheal Turner(97 truck) but they are 8-10 points lower then them. Those are more IMO thoughts then facts but if you watch the footage....

If I played online this would be a really big issue but instead it will just be a really big time consuming fix I will have to do.
