Madden NFL Part III - Overrated/Underrated Players

In this article I'll tell you the most underrated and overrated players in the game.

Overrated Players:

5. David Garrard
Garrard is a mobile QB, he can evade pressure pretty well, but he can't throw for his life in the NFL. In Madden he can easily throw the ball and rack up the yards. In the NFL he cannot throw for big yards.

4.Calvin Johnson
Drafted as one of the best athletes in the draft. He is somehow one of the best receivers in Madden without playing one game. Not only can he make one handed grabs like crazy, he is very fast. He isn't playing Duke anymore in the NFL and shouldn't be this good.

3.Steve Smith
He was one of the best receivers in the league 2 years ago. Last year, he did nothing. They still gave him a 98 in Madden after the newest update. In Madden, he can catch balls while in triple coverage. Based on what he did this year, he should be a 90, not a 98.

2. Vince Young
Since he was the cover boy, they had to make him good. They gave him a 90 speed. For a quarterback, that's crazy. What many people like to do is send all of their receivers deep and run with Vince. Even though he took his team to the playoffs, he did nothing. There is no way he should be a top ten QB in the game.

1. Reggie Bush
In the game, they made Reggie Bush so good that he could be considered a glitch by himself. I mean, I was playing the CPU once, and he returned a punt by breaking at least five tackles. Since he was drafted, he has been a bust. At least he got the whole "most overrated player in Madden" going for him.

Underrated Players

5. Santonio Holmes
He is a quick receiver who can catch the deep ball and run screens pretty well. Madden gave him almost no credit at all. He should easily be a 90 in the game.

4. Any fullback
There is a glitch on the game where the the fullback dive averages 7 yards per carry. Putting a backup running back at fullback actually does work very well. The fullbacks should be a lot better if they average 7 yards per carry.

3. Marion Barber
In the NFL, he is an animal, he rarely loses a yard. In the game, he does the same. He is good in the open field and can run anyone over. He hits like a power back but can also run pretty well.

2.Maurice Jones-Drew
Jones is a power back with a lot of speed. He, like Barber, can run over many people, but it is his speed that makes him so good. If you use tosses with him, he will easily get 4 to 5 yards with no effort.

1. Jags wide-receivers
They are underrated in the game as well as in the NFL. They are very tall and have some speed. In the game, they can catch crossing routs and streaks all day. Madden should definitely give these guys some more credit.
