No love for HB Blades, sadly. Watch, the guy is going to be a beast. I guarantee it.

They sleepin on anthony waters. not that they should change the ratings on him, but he's gonna be a beast for us this year. will probably move into a starting role mid season a la cromartie. AJ is a genius.
Morrison should have been 99 JK is that what you wanted druha lol
I'd love to have Pat Willis on my team...And to Druha, Why don't you tell me again how Huff doesn't cover Gates. Stupid charger fanboy.
Wow even as a Bills fan, i cannot believe that the two linbackers have such a high rating

Patrick Willis > Jesus.
Karlos dansby is olb not mlb just let u know and he is 91 overall.
I remember seeing that Digiorgio guy play and thinking that he was a pretty decent player.

"Karlos dansby is olb not mlb just let u know and he is 91 overall."
Well EA made it a point to specifically move him to MLB in the most recent build...
Karlos dansby is OLB not MLB and he is 91 overlall.
That is BS and he should at least be 89 bc/ he was 87 last year and had a really good season.
Dansby got fvcked
Morrison's ratings are about right, although he should probably have 82-84 speed and 95-97 play recognition but it's not too far off so no real complaints there
What a surprise......all of dallas' MLBs are about 5 points higher than they should be.......
overall, not that bad
london, thomas, barnett, beason, henderson, witherspoon, rudd, james, digiorgio, and burnett are all overrated
but nothing overly glaring
P.Williams-98
K.Williams-97
Allen-97
Edwards-83
Robinson-82
Henderson-92
Greenway-87
Leber-81
This front 7 is monstrous. And the crazy thing is: the only overrated ones are Henderson and Robison, and they're not THAT overarated. One of the only Offenses that can consistently run against them is their own. Also, with Peterson, Berrian, and then Jackson being a speed weapon with decent throwing power, you can get very creative with this team. I probably won't use anyone other than the Raiders on 09, but the Vikes look tempting.

O YEA BUCS got a beast in the making in Ruud and he's a brick wall defender and he's faster, more acceleration and most important has above average block shedding cuz wat the use of have a stud LB and can't get off a block

Next to Patrick Willis and DeMeco Ryans Jon Beason is the next best young Middle Linebacker
Zach Thomas 94... okay madden.
Zach Thomas 94... okay madden.
I'm happy with patrick willis rating..i noticed that MY NINERS have the two fastest linebackers on the game which is real. 'EVEN THOUGH I'M FROM PHILLY I LOVE MY NINERS'
Paul Posluzsny deserves a higher rating
but besides that i highly agree with Pat Willis attributes HE'S A BEAST

Paul posluszny should be higher. he was having a great year until he got hurt
PATRICK FREAKIN WILLIS!!!!!
Str 88!! he's stronger than some DT's!!
Titans dont trip jus put DT in the middle start the rookie and ur D will plug the middle just fine and stat K. vanden B at DT then start will hays the rookie at end on right side with 53 KB There is a tip from jdoutlaw34
YEAH BABY! Mayo is gonna rock for the Pats in Madden. Wow at Connor being kinda really behind. Lots of teams need serious help at LB.

Im gonna destroy every body with my 49ers pat willis is on beast mode watch out by the way i heard alot of fiolks complaining about willis stats if yall dont think he deserve it yall just hating on him he ran a 4.39 jump a 39 inch vertical a 174 tackl/4 sack / 3 ff/ he chase down a wr 60 yards he caught him he simply the fastest LB ever who you know as a LB ran a 4.39 no body so yall better stop hating cause in my opinion he deserve more than what they gave hime for an example speed 4.39 he should be 94 speed but they got him at 91 thats decent you got malkom kelly ran a 4.7 they gave him 93 speed thats extremly slow compare to willis so stop hating is strengh is 88 i think its very accurate watch the tape he tackle some of the biggest back in the league one on one solo TACKLE guy like JACKSON / PETERSON / ALEXANDER / ETC all these back are known as truck players so ya better stop hating and appreciate the man effort he work hard to get were he at EA dont do nothing wrong ist very accurate . WATCH OUT FOR ME ONLINE 49ERS ALL THE WAY BABY.
Wat zach should be a 95 or 96 at least but 94 now common and his play regconigtion went down and speed went down to no wat bs!!!

It won't matter what position the players are. This Madden will have the ability to change a player's position. This was something they had in the Madden's way back. I remember putting Roy Williams at Linebacker and his stats went up.
So far im happy with the steelers roster

Channing Crowder is better than I expected!
Patrick willis isn't da fastest lb in da league..hella overrated..he aint no ray lewis
So what EA is saying is all second stringers suck. LOL. They've ruined another Madden. It's unbelievable. They'll never get it right.
P-willie!!! 5-0 superbowl rating time for a sixth
Omg yes patrick willis's stats are hella sick but can people stop acting as if the niners D is gonna be hella sick. I guess none of you looked at their d line. Hahahaha linemen are gonna be taking free shots at willis. Just like Ray Lewis did a couple years ago when he had a bad year!!!
Tommy trojan doesnt know shit yeah the cowboys linebackers are a little overrated but who the hell isnt in madden anymore.
Wtf happened to quinton gaither on the eagles he was tearing it up playing mlb. Did they move him this year?
Dallas cowboys lb are not overated ok greg ellis comeback player of the year, demarcus ware leader in sacks, zach thomas had 52 tackles in 5 games thats averaging about 10 tackles a game
Alright im a cowboys fan and i keep it real. Greg ellis is good but would be better at the end cause he cant drop back in coverage. Zach thomas has a migraine everyday of his life. Bradie james is just big and dumb. Spencer needs more time to develope. What happened to bobby carpenter? The only lb's that is scary is D Ware of course. Burnett will be good and so will spencer but Dallas MLB's are overrated for now
Bradie James lead the cowboys in tackling the last 2 years and Zach Thomas has only suffered migraines the last 2 seasons but its not slowing him down have you looked at his stats he has like a 100 tackles in every season and yeah i think Ellis is a better defensive end than a line backer but he still makes a great line backer any day
I would take burnett over bradie james anyday because bradie james is just a run stopper. He has no depth when it comes to coverage. Zach thomas is over the hill but i welcome him to dallas

The bears got shafted on this game man..
Patrick Willis all day his tackle should be higher at like 98 tho
Well line backers are really meant for run stopping
Patrick willis is a beast! he has speed like a DB and tackling of a DL, but why is he lower rated than lofa tatupu (96 is still good) willis has the same tak & pur, and high spd,acc,pow, and strength, he should be 97-98!
PJEZY2007 are you a steeler fan, cus James farrior should be about 95 overall, and larry foote should be a 90 overall, and 83 speed!!! remember we have the #1 defense.
Giantcowboy your keeping real, now on the otherside Goodwin51 is not keeping it real. he is killing me with, this Zach and James stuff, Zach is over the hill, and James wow what a average player at best.
James farrior is old and overrated how does the steelers have the best defense because your dime backs suck
I agree i think patrick willis should be second best not first becuase urlacker is a beast
Urlacher is wayyy overrated...his str should be below a 70. Willis is a beast, but really, D-ROXX, why do you feel the need to TYPE in ebonics? did you buy a special keyboard with a "yall" key? Lastly, if someone uses the pats online, it just proves your a noob homo.

Why is london flethcer a 96 and ray is a 94. they basically had the same stats even though ray missed 2 games. just because peirce was on the super bowl winning team, does not mean he deserves to be in the top 5. peirce is garbage and definately should be above ray lweis.
Anyone who saw patrick "what ya talkin about" willis run down that Cardinal WR would have to agree that willis deserves the spd and acc rating he recieved
I think kirk morrisons speed should go up he had 120 tackles and 4 interceptions he should be top 10 he was way better than zach thomas last season

54 is a beast! Urlacher still the best. Willis will take over "the best" spot in a couple of years.

My dude patrick willis (no homo) is better than lofa tatupu, hes better in every category except for play recognition and tackle. man in my opinion i would rather have him than urlacher. he should be a 95 speed because adrian peterson ran a 4.38 or 4.39 and he got 96 thats exactly what willis ran but he has 91. he tackles better than tatupu and he beat bob sanders in every category ,so that should tell u who should have one defensive mvp.

Kevin burnett is beastly!!!!!!!!!!
go cowboys!
Wheres paris lenon for my lions at ?
Ray lewis is way better than antonio pierce i think that lewis should be in the top 5 look at his stats
RAY LEWIS ANTONIO PIERCE
games: 14 16
combined tackles: 120 103
solo tackles: 82 77
assist tackles: 38 26
sacks: 2 1
forced fumbles: 2 1
pass deflection:10 8
interceptions: 2 1
interception yards:35 28
touch downs:1 00
I belive ray lewis shouldve been 1 under urlacher... i honestly think lewis is still the best mlb..
