You know it’s almost time for the yearly Madden football game to being released when the player ratings get released by EA Sports in July. The very popular Madden NFL game is set to release on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on August 25th, and to help promote their game pre-release, EA Sports has released their official player ratings.
Rating over 3,000 players on various skills such as speed, agility, throw power, and acceleration takes a lot of time and effort. For the most part, the rating team at Madden gets the ratings correct, but sometimes there are a few head-scratchers, whether the player’s ratings were too low or too high.
Here’s a look at all of the ratings for the Colts..There were some Colts players slighted by the Madden rating adjusters, so we took the liberty of sharing four players who deserved a higher rating:
LB Darius Leonard | 85 overall
Just add more motivation to Darius Leonard’s list, as he was rated an 85 overall in this year’s Madden.
121 tackles, five sacks, and five interceptions in 13 games, along with a Pro Bowl nod only gets Leonard an 85 rating, behind a player like Kyle Van Noy of the Miami Dolphins.
Van Noy last year with the Patriots, in 15 games, had 56 tackles, six and a half sacks, and no interceptions. Yet, Van Noy is rated an 86 and Leonard an 85.
After a season like that from Leonard, in only 13 games, he should be a higher rating than 85. He should be closer to a 90 overall rating than his official launch rating at 85.
