It’s that time of year again when millions throw down their hard earned dough on ES Sports Madden NFL Football. This year, the pricetag will be around 60 bucks but more importantly you don’t have to wait until the August 14th release date to know your Miami Dolphins individual player and team power rankings. We have them right here right now. All other teams are listed here.
The Dolphins finished atop the AFC East last year with an 11-5 ranking and division championship. That was hardly enough for the boys and girls at EA to give the Dolphins any game cred. The team is ranked with an overall rating of 77. That is one more than the Buffalo Bills rating of 76, one less than the NY Jets’ 78. The Patriots sit with an unreal 93. The best rating on this years game. The Patriots have held the best or one of the best ratings the last 5 years.
For Miami, the good news is that outside of the Madden universe, the rating means absolutely nothing and it will be interesting to see how the folks at EA have incorporated the Wildcat into the game and what schemes they have given defense to use against it…in particular the Patriots.
While this has zero affect on the real football season, it sure is fun to see what you can do online against Maddenites from around the world. Whether your on XBox, PS3, PS2, or PSP, one thing is for certain…if you play, you likely have already payed.
A few players to note: Jason Taylor is listed as a DE and is rated 79 while Joey Porter is rated 94. Brian Hartline is not listed on the teams roster but will likely be added after the first online update. Only 9 players have ratings above 80.

What the hell is up with these ratings? Well its kinda hard for Miami to get a fair ratings upgrade when the guys sitting down in the EA sports office doing the ratings are wearing their patriots and chargers jerseys. Thats just my provin take on it
Are the guys at EA really that clueless? Are they sitting around in their Pat’s jerseys smoking their bong and just making this stuff up? Give me a break. I am not even going to buy their crap anymore. It’s too bad they are the only licensed NFL game. RANDY STARKS IS NOT an O-LINEMAN YOU JACK-A$$ES! V. Davis is better than W. Allen? No one on our D-line is better than a 79 and he’s an OLB in real life? These guys are just stupid!
I heard that this year, unlike 09 they are going to update individual player rankings during the year. Don’t get too excited though. Even if the Dolphins are 8-0 mid way through the season EA won’t reflect their player ratings properly. It will only be because we get good bounces and lucky plays!! I hate that fat windbag!
Two things: one, let’s be fair for now to EA about Randy Starks, they didn’t post those numbers, another website did in regards to the EA brand…so it could have been their typing mistake…we will find out when the game releases. 2nd: Couldn’t agree more about the rankings. They are a total joke 90 percent of the time which is why I don’t buy the game out of the box. In fact, the last one I bought period was two years ago. I hate how everyone seriously kisses the Patriots ass.
i dont believe those numbers…no way will allen is a 75
Polite is a 71, witch is shit cause he only converted over 90% of 3rd&1’s
I have almost 2000 games on 09 so I will tell you this. If you are playing a 3-4 against a running team you better know what your doing. Merling and Langford are rated very low in 2010, so I would suggest playing a 4-3 and set your line as Porter,Starks, Ferguson, Merling. Your LBs as Ayodele, Crowder, and Taylor. Sub in Roth for Merling on Running downs. Other than that, move Pat white around and you will give Def a heart attack.
I must say after gettin madden 10 the stats posted here are off, Jason Taylor might be 79 at Line backer but a 93 when put back at RE and the wild cat is awsome so far. We actually have a chance to do big things in Madden 10 and Wilford as a TE is pretty sweet
