Re: Madden 08 Preview!! Or you can stick both of you're "superstar safeties" on them. After all, you'll probably say Landry is underrated in the game and make him like 88 overall.

The only way Landry is an 84 (with his speed, tackling, etc being at what it should be) is if his awareness is a 47 lol.
Re: Madden 08 Preview!! Revis should be an 81 or 82, and Harris should be a 78 or 79. Which of course means using mini camps I'll improve them 3 or 4 points before preseason, then do my best to boost them in preseason to see if I can get a couple of 85's as rookies going into the regular season.
Re: Madden 08 Preview!! <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Capt. Comeback @ May 23 2007, 11:03 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>Keep dreaming.</div>Ok, how in the world can someone with 93 speed, 92 agility, 94 acceleration, 89 jumping, and 67 strength have a rating lower than 86?? His catching will probably be around 62-67, awareness 61-66, tackling 77-82. So with those physical tools he has (speed, agility, strength, etc.), he would need to have an awareness of 50 and tackling of 70 in order to make him like an 83... and we all know he is more "aware" and has better tackling than Michael Huff.
Re: Madden 08 Preview!! So where are you getting this 93 speed, 94 accel, 89 jump, etc. from? His tackling will not be over 77, so don't even try it. What do you have against Huff? 78 tackles in a rookie season is pretty good, especially considering his position on one of the crappiest defenses in the league. Considering he was 4th in tackles on the team with a defense that let up 618 more yards than their offense produced. To me, Huff wasn't worth an 88, but he sure wasn't as bad as you're making him out to be.

Any safety that runs that fast has a higher accel than speed. Agility... he plays a lot like Huff, and so I gave him a 93 there. Jumping? Huff jumped higher by like 2-3 inches, and his jumping is 92 or 93. Plus, anyone above 6ft in Madden has a high jump rating to make it fair. The reason we even drafted Landry was because of his tackling ability... I have absolutely nothing against Huff. I'm just saying that Landry is definitely better than Huff lol.One of the crappiest defenses in the league?? The Raiders?? They have one of the best defenses in the NFL (some say the best). Huff had to be an 88 overall because he is fast, quick, and is just physically gifted. Even if he has bad awareness, he will still have a high rating.Look at Sean Taylor... they hkeep giving him bad awareness like low 70s and he's still a 95 overall.
Re: Madden 08 Preview!! Just because you think that Madden will give Landry a high rating because he ran a hair's worth faster than Huff, jumped a little over a twinkie more than Huff, doesn't mean shit. Being 6 ft and having a higher jumping rating doesn't make anything fair... How would it be fair to make the tall people jump higher than the little people? That makes no sense.
Re: Madden 08 Preview!! Landry plays faster than Huff too.Clerence Moore on the Ravens has a jumping of 98 I think. Wes Welker has like 75. Welker can probably jump higher than Moore. They just did that to make it "fair", but I agree, it's retarded.
Re: Madden 08 Preview!! Are you going by last year's ratings? Cause that would be retarded if you're comparing Welker and Moore with last year's ratings. This year Moore will be significantly worse than Welker.

Re: Madden 08 Preview!! You want him to prove it, but you're sitting here defending your players speed? You just said he's faster than Huff because of a 40 time, but I'd love to see you prove he's faster.
Re: Madden 08 Preview!! I really don't care how fast Landry is for the position he plays--it doesn't matter to me who is faster. The fact of the matter is--he CAN run insanely fast (its just a big plus, but not necessary), and that DOES NOT HURT when you consider he will be covering the most talented athletes in the world. He isn't going to get burned. Who cares who is faster?
