I may be a Steelers fan, but I just want to know how Eli Manning gets a acc. weapon and Big Ben doesnt. Since their rookie seasons Ben's % has always been much higher. Also dont agree about our two shutdown corners.

Posted by: bigdawg21 on July 25, 2008, 8:28 am
Did they change Dennis Dixons speed cuz it said he was a 60 something on the player ratings for QB's.
Posted by: myles04_2004 on July 25, 2008, 7:15 pm
Hasslebecks not a smart QB??? seems like he should be
Posted by: HolidayMell on July 26, 2008, 7:27 pm
I dont understand how Mario Manningham is a weapon and Steve Smith(Giants) isn't
Posted by: MicDizzle2 on July 28, 2008, 1:39 pm
I think Joe Flacco has a way stronger arm than Russell,that should be changed.
Posted by: teddyghrams52 on July 29, 2008, 6:47 am
How in the world does eli have a accuracy icon but mcnabb doesn't ... i hope everyone didn't forget that although he won a super bowl , during the reg season he had more turnovers then td's and his competition percentage wasn't the best 1
Posted by: teddyghrams52 on July 29, 2008, 6:52 am
How in the world does frank gore not have a icon ??? what a joke . on the worst offense last year he still manage to average over 4 yards a carry , over 1200 rushing yards and about 500 receiving ! i guess "CON'T "
Posted by: NYGMAN64 on July 29, 2008, 4:20 pm
Cmon man i mean eli manning should have a cannon arm. he did last year. And he did have some amazing long strikes to amani toomer in the playoffs.
Posted by: NYGMAN64 on July 29, 2008, 4:22 pm
Ahmad Bradshaw should also have ellusive back. he had an awsome juking season, especially in the super bowl.
Posted by: foootballdude on July 30, 2008, 3:40 pm
WHY IS CHARLIE FRYES THROWING POWER NOT A 99??????
CAN SOMEBODY PLEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAASEEEEEE TELL ME WHY ITS NOT A 99?????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DONT I SOUND JUST LIKE THE REST OF YOU IDIOTS.
Posted by: jackstar5 on August 2, 2008, 12:43 pm
Please joe flacco arm is not close to Jamarcus Russell arm Jamarcus russell should have 100 throwing power when did tom brady get that high of a throwing power just becuz he chunk a few desperate pass in the super bowl
Posted by: BRDJags on August 3, 2008, 1:48 am
Eli is accurate? I throw a tighter spiral than him. I'm talking wounded ducks. Guess it pays to the champ.
Posted by: BRDJags on August 3, 2008, 1:50 am
Tom Brady= Cannon Arm????????
I guess throwing the ball as far as you can and having Moss to chase it qualifies you?
Posted by: zmnsr1 on August 3, 2008, 7:54 pm
How is jeff garcia not an accurate passer?!?!?!?
Posted by: Fins1399 on August 4, 2008, 10:20 am
Ronnie Brown is elusive so where is he????????
Posted by: vicecity561 on August 10, 2008, 8:31 pm
I think EA should rate the players on an individual basis and take in consideration the players they have on there team and how that affects there game. I know having great wide receivers and good offensive lineman make QB's and RB's stats better but does that make there attributes better? there still the same guy throwing and running the ball. For example take Tom Brady which I hate but admit is a great QB. If he came to play for the fins. who have absolutely no good wr's Brady stats would undoubtedly decrease. Does that mean that his attributes in madden should go down to. The Madden series is great but EA sports should put a little more effort in the study of the actual nfl game, maybe hire some guys with insider knowledge of the nfl to get a better grip of the players talents. Instead of just handing out weapon icons like some whor*.
