Madden Ratings Out, and the verdict is

[LUUUUUKE]

Here's the ratings which released less than an hour ago. Down 2 points from last year.

 

"CAROLINA PANTHERS (TEAM 80 OVR)

The Panthers won the NFC South (and a playoff game) with a 7-8-1 record last year, their second straight division crown. QB Cam Newton (90 OVR) enters year five with a couple of great targets in TE Greg Olsen (92 OVR) and second-year WR Kelvin Benjamin (86 OVR). HB Jonathan Stewart (84 OVR) is healthy, and the clear starter for the first time in his career.

For the defensive front seven, MLB Luke Kuechly (96 OVR), LOLB Thomas Davis (90 OVR), LE Charles Johnson (89 OVR), and 2nd-year man DT Star Lotulelei (98 OVR) are standouts. CB Charles Tillman (81 OVR) is a quality new addition."

personally a little surprised at Lukes rating, if star is a 98 how can Luke not be a 99? Cam at 90 seems fair, but I also feel it could be a solid 94.

let the gripes and complaints begin, see the link for division rival ratings

What the fug... lol there's no way Star is a 98 overall.  That would easily make him one of the highest rated players in the game.  Ndamukong Suh is their highest rated DT at 96 overall, and Star didn't even make the top 5 DTs.  Has to be a typo and they meant 89 overall.

Surprised the Bucs aren't 99 overall.

[LUUUUUKE]

AFC North way over rated too. But rookie WR Brashad Perrimam is a 73 overall, so I wouldn't expect Funchess to be higher than a 75 overall.

might not be a bad idea to put him at TE in double TE sets just for the mismatches presented. We'll have to see once full player ratings are released.

Um. Is Star really a 98? wtf.

[csx]

I dont think that is the correct rating for Star.

it's not, they probably meant 89.

Star is an 88, definitely a typo on EA's part.

In my opinion Luke, Watt, and Rodgers should be the only 99s in the game. Only a matter of time before luke gets his 99 rating

Haven't looked at this year's version at all, What are they promoting this year that's new when they already had it almost 10 year's ago but removed it.

the bucs fan that has been the ratings czar for Madden is no longer the guy.

New WR vs defender catching system

He's a Panther so it will be 98 for his career.
