Madden 11 Ratings for the Bengals Released
It's closing in. You can feel it. Every year you get more anxious. Every time about this time of year, your heart starts beating wildly. We've hit July and the days are quickly ticking away towards the annual event that brings fans together and brings in a new edition to a new year of the same traditions.
That's right. Madden 11 is coming.
You already know that the Bengals are rated second in the AFC North with an 86 -- only three AFC teams have better ratings. Now the players ratings have been released. The Bengals have three players over 90, which includes the two highest rated players on the team -- Johnathan Joseph (93) and Leon Hall (92). Quarterback Carson Palmer, who was once sported one of the higher ratings on the team, has dropped to an 87 while Chad Ochocinco hovers just above 90. Check out the ratings. What do you think?

Cook, and B. Johnson should be higher
I also think the defensive line should get higher ratings, but I get it. I would love to sit in the meetings at EA Sports when they hammer out these ratings. What a job that would be.
B. Clifton Burke
+1 on B. Johnson
I thought this was funny: Shipley was a 48 in strength and a 97 in toughness. Soo, he’s a scrawny guy with a Napoleon Complex..

What?
Maybe I’m way off base, but Rayner as kicker? From everything I’ve seen Nugent has outplayed him. Then again, it’s kicker, so maybe I shouldn’t care so much. Also, Michael Johnson and Jordan Shipley both seem too low. I could also make an argument for Carlos Dunlap being just a tad higher, but that’s getting a little nitpickey.
Is it?
One was deemed good enough to play on Sundays and one wasn’t.
one was injured. easy contest..

Dhani Jones ranked last?
Why is he being ranked as a CB? Where is D Jones the LB?
Jerome Simpson a 57?
Jesus. Doesn’t Madden know that he’s making great catches in practice? An absolute travesty.
Thoughts
I have a few nitpicks here and there, but I liked more than I didn’t, so I’ll stick to the positives.
The backup running backs got some respect. Scott’s stats are reasonable and Brian Leonard, maybe the most underrate offensive weapon we have, has a catching rating of 77. He caught some great passes in clutch situations, and it’s nice to see Madden’s ratings reflect his efforts on the field.
Palmer gets appropriately docked for a disappointing final stretch last season, but his stats don’t take too far of a dive. It seems that the second half of the season carries a lot more weight than the first. Palmer was clutch for us quite a bit last year early on, and I’m glad that wasn’t totally forgotten about.
The offensive line doesn’t have one guy who clearly sticks out, but the ratings suggest a very well-rounded group of players. And that’s what the Bengals O-line looks like right now. We don’t have our Joe Thomas or our new Willie Anderson yet, but even if one guy doesn’t quite stand out as an elite talent, we also don’t have any glaring weak spots either. I think the ratings reflect that.
-Fanene’s rating is good. I can’t remember what it was on last year’s edition, but this is more than likely a big move up. He may not exactly be starter-worthy today, but he’s close and he really stepped up and made some huge plays last year (his blocked pass vs. the Steelers near the end of the game was one of the most memorable plays for me last season).
i think that guard bobby williams rating should be right around a 92 as most of our big runs came from him opening up some holes you could drive a mack truck through on that rught side of the line, Malaluga speed should be right around a 87 as he coverd some of the leagues fastest tight ends stride for stride, ur d line stats could be boosted overall as we were tops in the NFL against the run but other than that i don’t see to much that really sticks out like a sore thumb
Glad to see Nate Livings
get a half-decent rating. I seem to recall he received one of the lowest scores in the league for an O-lineman in Madden ‘10. I know he’s not a Pro Bowler, but he did some good work for us last year: this mid-70’s rating seems a fairer reflection of that.
RATINGS
The ratings were pretty fair but Benson and B.Johnson should be rated higher. I would say Benson should be atleast a 91 and B. Johnson a 75 or 76. I think he could start for teams in the league.
On a scale of 0-99...
Clearly, it is impossible to achieve a 100 Rating in any category.
PROOF: Ochocinco: SWG (Swagger) = 99
If he isn’t rated with 100 Swagger, what exactly are their standards?
Will Ocho see this as a challenge?
