After a slow tease to start, EA SPORTS has released all player ratings for Madden NFL 15.
Cover athlete Richard Sherman, Calvin Johnson, and JJ Watt are the highest rated players in the game, clocking in at 99 overall. The Seahawks are the highest rated team with an overall rating of 91.
Continue on to see the top players at each position and also download an Excel spreadsheet that lists ratings for every team roster.
My first thought is that the overall ratings are too high for my personal liking. I would like to see top drafted players more in the 70's ovr.
Their physical attributes alone have an influence on their overall rating.
Plus it is difficult to judge just what a rookie's rating would be in the NFL without any games played. Do you go off his college stats and how he performed in combination with the combine?
After the first few weeks you will get the true overall for them...kind of like preseason football rankings.
I like Russell Wilson and he is a heck of a young QB. I realise he has a championship under his belt but I think a 93ovr is way, way too high. To have him in the same tier as Brady? I watched all his game last year and he is consistent but still very young and makes mistakes. As a game manager, for sure he is a 93 but as a QB... no, not yet.
The more I look at these ratings the more I wish Madden would significantly spread ratings out. FB's in the 90's rookies in the high 80's and totally unproven. There should be a full 100 point spread. A nobody 3rd string bench player should be a 20 ovr. Instead Madden makes these 65-75ovr players. Spread out the ratings and maybe players will finally feel different?
In Madden 25 I won the SB with the Bucs using Glennon and Rodgers as the Bucs duo. They were lights out and could thread the needle like Manning and Brady. That should not happen but sadly in Madden it has for a long, long, long time.
Totally agree about spreading out he ratings. At least use 50-x100 and 90s should be special. Less than 90 is just considered disappointing. Either way their system could still work IF there was a big difference between an 85 and 90 but it's not. The rating are like their sliders - too watered down.
The FB is such a dead position. It used to be a running position. Then changed to blocker and receiver and now it's blocker or death. Miami didn't even carry a single one last year.

My guess on his high rating is that he has to be rated high in order for Seattle to be good and competitive in the game.
I personally think Russell Wilson is fine at 93. He's the only QB in NFL history to have 100+ QB rating his first two years and he has not had great receiving talent either. His mobility is a big plus too. He's far more than a game changer.
Lol to be fair I at times see players IRL as their Madden rating and vice versa
The team i get for one of my leagues in Madden, I then follow all their games on Sunday Ticket (with the Steelers of course) throughout the season hoping they play well and to see the Offense and Defense they run. It has a secondary Fantasy Football feel.
