stimpy Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 Yes I bought Madden 2005 yesturday and noticed that the Patriots ranking is has followsOverall:99offence:90Defence:99That is better than every team, every 'all' team, and every classic team including the 14-0 perfect dolphins. Is this right? What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stimpy Posted August 15, 2004 Author Share Posted August 15, 2004 Yeah I was amazed to see this. What I don't get is how is the current team better than their 'all' team. Because their 'all team is the best players they ever had and if...You know what I mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See Red Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 That's ridiculous. Absolutely insane. Those Patroits would've even hold their own against those old 49ers or Cowboys teams among other teams. I have Madden, but I never noticed how good they were. That's insane.

Magus Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 why are the patriots rated that highly?no team in the NFL should be rated anywhere near 90. Most teams should be rated in the the 70's at best. General Magus ZealLeader of the Mystics of Medina.The forums most hated member ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanB06 Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 I've noticed that EA's programmers emphasized defense a lot more in this edition of Madden than in past years. Thus the high rating for the Pats - they made their living last season on their defense.Still, 99's a little high - and I'm a Pats fan!

stimpy Posted August 15, 2004 Author Share Posted August 15, 2004 Me being a patriots fan yes they had a great year were one of the best seasons any team has had in NFL history and is one of the best teams ever. But to call them the best team in history of football and better than every teams best player is rediculous. I guarentee that will be the number 1 picked team online because it is like picking a classic team or a all team. It will be cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See Red Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 In my experiences, EA has been much better in rating players than most other companies. For example, the ratings for Madden are a lot better than in ESPN NFL 2K5 and the Patriots are the only example I see that is a major flaw.It's difficult putting a number towards how good a player is and there's bound to be mistakes -- but this mistake is ridiculous. I don't even think the Patriots are the best team in the NFL, let alone one of the better teams of all time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
