PMV = Power Move
FMV = Finese Move
BSH = Block Shedding
PUR = Pursuit
PRC = Play Recognition
And wow, 94 OVR for Tuck. Not too sure about that one.

PMV: power move
FMV: finesse move
BSH: bull rush
PUR: pursuit
PRC: not sure
Dumervil has an interception, 3 pass deflections, and 2 forced fumbles more than Mario williams, Williams has 2 sacks more and so he deserves 97, while dumervil supposidly gets 90,(Which dont make sense if you check the stats)
And where are the greats,
oh and Dolphn, dont say shit u dont know, PRC is play recognition
Because mario williams is a all around player he can stop the run and rush the passer really good. elvis dumervil is more of a one dimesional player hes mainly there to just rush the passer.
Hmm how does julius peppers have less power moves than dwight freeney... peppers is 290 pound monster im confused

Julius peppers is higher then ogunleye after that crappy season lol
I think this is worse than the quarterbacks. EA is going on pure reputation instead of production. Thats why the Giants are so good. They need to make a couple new categories to show that some players are better in run support than pass rushing.

Nice to see mario didnt get scrubbed like our oline.
Tollefson should at least be a 78.

Mario Williams 97 overall that's a head scratcher
If mario williams is a 97 jared allen should be 99 they just overrated williams this year he should be a 92 or 93
They over-rated mario a little but it was not a huge stretch in my opinion he should be a 95
if you'll saw mario play in the second half of the season you will know why he was a 97...he was dominant
next year he will be the best defensive end in the nfl!!!

Tuck's rating is the biggest joke Ive ever seen in Madden History. A backup DE with 94 overall?
Im just hoping the Giants secondary is rated very poorly because their front 7 looks like it's absurd
I love how Chris Clemons leaves Oakland and suddenly hes an 85 ovl lmfao. Even after the updates he was still like a 78 (maybe i forgot but it could be 76). He one of the worst against the run and is strictly a 3rd down end who had a few sacks in his best year ever.
Jags rookie DE's are monsters!!! harvey n groves are starting for me next year with that speed and good strenght ratings
I have to agree that they jumped on the Giant's D-Line bandwagon a little bit. Mario Williams was dominant in the second half and I think it's funny that Reggie Bush still has done nothing stats-wise and hasn't improved while Williams is becoming a force on D if he lets his momentum carry him.
They actually did a good job with the D line rating's,but Justin Tuck shouldn't have a higher rating than Trent Cole.

WOW How is the Giants' D-Line over-rated??? The only o-line to rape and expose the Pats' O-line which your team couldn't do. Justin Tuck deserves that 94. If he doesn't to anyone then he'll live up to it playing LE full time this season.

Dude... these ratings are directly from EA. The only things I added are age and the team they play for as those weren't listed. If it's a typo, it's on EA's end.

Technically, he's a starter now...

Just thought I tell you guys that Marcus Howard on the Colts should be included in the rookie pool.
Strahan retired. He won't be in the game.
Where is Vernon Gholston? Is he going to play linebacker in the NFL? He worked out with the DE's at the combine.

The giants....unstoppable
O boy, not looking good for the Steelers. They need to start treating 3-4 DE differently than 4-3 DE.
Don't know who Cullen Jenkins is so can anyone inform me why he's rated so high? Didn't hear his name all last season.
You obviously do not watch football if you dont know who cullen jenkins is????

ALL RIGHT! Jason Taylor's at the top where he belongs!!!
No Darren Howard for the Eagles I know he's fighting for a job but I think he would be rated better overall than Victor Abiamari and rookie Bryan Smith?????
For anyone saying the giants don't deserve their ratings...I reference the look on Tom Brady's face when he had absolutely no idea what was going on and the Giants were only rushing 4. And Justin Tuck had 10 sacks coming off of the bench, and playing DT. I'm a Jets fan, but if a team deserves those ratings, it's the Gints. That line did what no one else could...

I think its funny how Jason Taylor has the best ovr. rank yet he's goin into his last year, the Dolphins don't know whether to keep him or trade him, etc. I honestly agree that EA is going a lot more on reputation than stats. So far I've seen overrated people in every category; which is exactly why I edit the over/under rated players as soon as I pop the game in my 360.

With Strahan retired that will take a pretty big hit to that line, although its still elite. GB is looking nasty, Kampman rated #2, Jenkins 92, and KGB off the bench with 88.
Chris Kelsay of Buffalo with only a 83? EA SUCKS
Mario Williams 97, thats a F'n Joke
LET'S GO DOLPHINS!!!

Osi did really good this year so he deserved his 97, I'm not sure about tuck being 94 though, maybe 90, too bad strahan didn't have too good of a year, but after 15 years he at least got a ring
Wow indy is beasty with freeney mathis and sanders that d will monster in madden
Jevon Kearse is wayyyyyyyyy better than washed-up bryce fisher. Jevon had like 6 sacks in 4 games before he was injured in one of those seasons with the eagles
Why did the 9ers draft kentwan balmer, yes bryant young and marques douglas are gone, and yes kentwan was a top prospect but they should have taken a WR like andre caldwell, or limas sweed, or at least a faster DE for pass rushing.

One can make the argument that suggs should be on that list as well.
I thought jason taylor was a OLB
Naw Jason Taylor plays right end he was jus listed at ROLB and Joey Porter was use as LOLB, last year cus of the multiple D the dolphins used. And Justin Tuck 94?? i don kno bout tht 1 he was ok but he wasnt that great.

My problems with this lsit:
How does tuck have a 94? I understand he had a good game agianst the patriots, and put up good numbers as a backup DE, but a 94? Adrian peterson is a 95 this year, and had the best season a rookie has ever had. So how does Tuck get a 94? I pictured him as a 86-90. Oh yeah, and how is Jared Allen a 97, ranked 4th? He had more sacks than anyone and he missed the first three games, not to mention he was palying on a poor team. Oh yes, one last thing: Where is Vernon Gholston? He is palying DE right? Do they actually think he's going to play OLB?

If the giants wouldve lost agianst the patriots my bet would be tuck wouldnt even be rated a 90, possibly not even a 80.
Jason taylor is extreamley overrated0 he should be a 91 i hate the redskins and steelers
Pretty good . alright detroit got a decent line still even witout that massive night train shaun rogers
A. Where the hell is Quentin Moses for miami? B. Vernon Gholston is a OLB now, check the preseason games.
