LINK

Delhomme pulls in a 74 rating and with his accuracy rating taking a huge hit being only a 63 due to his turnover issue in 2009.

Following Delhomme is Seneca Wallace with a 72 and Colt McCoy with a 71.

Harrison's big games at the end of 2009 obviously got him his rating of 83 and since he was so hard for opposing defenders to tackle that pushed his elusiveness rating up to a 97.

Following Harrison are rookie Montario Hardesty with a 74 and James Davis with a 69.

Vickers is one of the best lead blockers in the NFL and Madden reflects that giving him a high rating of 88.

Newly acquired hybrid back Peyton Hillis follows Vickers with a rating of 77.

With many questions at receiver, the low ratings are no surprise, but what is a surprise is that Cribbs (78) has a higher rating than Massaquoi (75) even though Massaquoi was much more productive than Cribbs in 2009 catching passes.

The simple reason for this is that Cribbs is more versatile and his attributes are more well-rounded across the board than Massaquoi's.

Following them are Chansi Stuckey with a 68, Brian Robiskie at 65, and surprisingly rookie sixth round pick Carlton Mitchell wasn't even listed.

Many Browns fans see Watson (78) as a key addition to the offense, and he will find a big role in Cleveland regardless of what Madden has him rated as.

After Watson is Robert Royal at 72 (seems too high) and Evan Moore at 63.

The starters on the offensive line according to their ratings are:

LT - Joe Thomas (95)
LG - Eric Steinbach (91)
C - Alex Mack (87)
RG - Floyd Womack (76)
RT - Tony Pashos (72)

Backup are:

RT - John St. Clair (71)
C - Eric Ghiaciui (69)
RG - Shawn Lauvao (68)
LG - Billy Yates (63)

Where's Joel Reinders?

The starting defensive line is as follows:

DE - Kenyon Coleman (75)
DT - Shaun Rogers (93)
DE - Robaire Smith (74)

Backup are:

DT - Ahytba Rubin (74)
DE - C.J. Mosley (63)
DE - Brian Schaefering (56)
DE - Clifton Geathers (56)

How about Kwaku Danso?

Fujita (75) may not even be a outside linebacker in the Browns' defense, but Madden 11 thinks so.

Following both Fujita and Roth (74) to round up the depth chart are Jason Trusnik with a 73, Chris Gocong at 71, and David Veikune at 68.

Seems like EA Sports need to do a bit more research in these players' actual positions.

Jackson and Barton will probably not be the starting duo, mostly do to the uncertainty of Barton's recovery from a neck injury in 2009.

Following these two are David Bowens at 76, Kaluka Maiava at 68.

The addition of Brown (87) as a starter should be a great compliment to Wright (86) in the Browns' secondary for the 2010 season.

After them is first round pick Joe Haden with a 79, Brandon McDonald at 68, Coye Francies with 67, and Gerard Lawson with a 63.

Safety - Mike Adams (77), Abram Elam (72) The Browns coaches said they do indeed like Adams a lot, but having a rating this high is saying a bit to much.

Both rookies follow with T.J Ward having a 69 and Larry Asante with a 66.

Sorry EA Sports, but you got this position totally wrong too.

The ratings finally end with kicker Phil Dawson getting a 82 rating and punter Dave Zastudil with a 77.

Nice stuff....thanks (even though I have no intention of buying Madden ever again).

I always tear the teams down and start over anyways so ratings mean nothing to me except when it comes to their trade value.

I always play in franchise mode. With in a couple of seasons my roster is usually completely turned over anyway.

Same here, I completely gut the roster and use the imported draft classes and a few free agents and have only a few key guys (Cribbs, Vickers, Joe Thomas, etc.) left on the roster. No Mike Adams or Robert Royal on my team please.

How is Robert Royal rated higher the Evan Moore? I'm going to have to make some changes to that one.

Debating on even buying it this year, I think I will go back to my once every few yrs, and perhaps just updating the rosters manually. I really wish they would do a real overhaul and make the game better along with roster updates. This series has sucked since they cut out other franchises, like ESPN 2K series.

EXACTLY, the best madden IMO was either 04 or 05, 06 was pretty good as well. These were all on ps2, last gen systems too. Which is why it makes me kind of mad when people complain about grpahics instead of gameplay. I'd take goldenye 64 or zelda or the original metal gear solid on playstation one before I need souped graphics.

Madden 04 I would say was the best one I played. I think 08 is the best madden on the current gen. Outside of updated rosters, they havent added anything of any value to the series since then IMO. Superstar mode is a joke and I dont know a single person who has played more than one time to see what its all about.

I'm a little pissed they did not put Marcus Benard and Carlton Mitchell on the game.

I end of editing the players to my liking each year anyway, not that much but some. Take for example Cribb's attributes, speed goes to 94 or 95 because it's hard in madden to return kickoffs if you don't have high speed. I'm going to make Evan moore obviously better than Royal.

It's sad that Phil Dawson has almost as much swagger as our LBs

Madden is releasing a playable demo the 27th for dl on xbox live.

I guess it will basically allow you to play a full game, allowing you to play as one of two teams.

If you pre-order Madden online at walmart.com you get a $20 online walmart gift card. This includes free shipping as well, great deal imo:

Just played the demo for this years Madden, and I think it is a much improved game. The tackling is much more realistic, same with breaking tackles and momentum---it all works together really well. Juke moves and truck stick work really well within the context of the situation as well. No more getting dropped by a db when you are running with your fullback with a head of steam---Nice.

Less Collinsworth.

The Gameflow works alright----I am interested to see if it gets any better when you actually craft a gameplan. One thing I didn't like is that on my very first offensive possession they started me off by calling a playaction. Who calls Playaction on the very first play?!?!

The graphics and animations are a whole hell of a lot smoother and more realistic. The cut scenes look a lot better. The new way to call hot routes, and shift your coverages, DL, and LB's is going to take some getting used to.

I thought the interactions on the line looked pretty crisp, and didn't notice any guys just standing around. It seemed like they all went to their assigned blocks.

Going deep seemed a lot easier in this game. I hit Braylon deep nearly everytime I saw him running without a safety overtop. That would seem pretty realistic though. Pretty dumb to leave the other teams number one on an island with no help overtop.

I played one game and beat the Colts 24 to 13.

I think that this version of Madden definitely seems improved enough to pick up once it comes out. Add the new rosters, and I think it will be worth the 50 bucks.

HE he he......

I know it sounds strange, but recently I've gotten back into ESPN 2k5 again with updated roster, the game still kicks! Some people out there are so dedicated to the game, they've made just about every roster change, including draft and TO to the bengals.

This is the most updated Ps3 version I've seen yet. Here's a link to the set of rosters if anyone is interested, ESPN 2K5 Ps3 Rosters. I noticed on the Browns roster some players weren't there so they would need to be created, but the whole roster for the league is pretty close to real. Just thought I'd post if anyone might want it.

How do you play this game on the PS3? You have to have a backwards compatible one I assume?

Yes, I have a 60GB Ps3, one of the first versions that came out. That was HUGE selling point for me when I bought it. If it were not backward compatible, I'm not 100% sure if I would have gotten it.

Are all Ps3's being sold non-backward compatible? If so, that really sucks.
