They don't suck, it's just that the Bengals suck, besides. they stole it from NFL 2K5 anyway.

mike June 30, 2009 at 4:38 pm

L. Colesan 87 that is way to high

Zak July 1, 2009 at 9:27 pm

Leon Hall should not be a 75, any actual football fan will tell you how he was one of the top 10 corners in the NFL last year, he should be like an 88-90

brandon July 25, 2009 at 9:02 pm: yea right not even a top 30, let alone 10… jeeez hes like to be a 75 and not like a 71

Reply
KA1Z3R August 13, 2009 at 1:49 am: In my opinion, the top 10 corners in no particular order

1. Nnamdi Asomugha
2. Asante Samuel
3. Darrell Revis
4. Champ Bailey
5. Antonio Cromarite (when healthy)
6. Rashean Mathis
7. Cortland Finnegan
8. Charles Woodson
9. Al Harris
10. Marcus Trufant

and since I actually work for a Raiders news site and follow the NFL every single day, I'm "any actual football fan" but Leon hall is definitely not top-10.

Anthony July 2, 2009 at 9:18 pm

u sure as hell better be lying Palmer an 95 that's ridicules max an 90 tops! and Cedric Benson is terrible Ur telling me that he is as almost as good as Marshawn Lynch and that coles is better than Terrel Owens Not a chance if anything he is overrated and should be like a 85 and ur o-line is a joke they r like the 2 worst line in the NFL only behind the lions they should not have a single player in the 80's on the line except smith who will be a stud in 3 years

anthony July 2, 2009 at 9:20 pm: meant to say T.O is better than coles

So many things to take issue with here. I will start by saying WTF are you thinking when you say both your rookies should be the highest rated rookies from last years draft in Madden 10? you have both of them ( A Smith and Maualuga) rated as an 85. The highest rated rookie, A Curry, is rated an 85. You seriuosly think that because they were drafted by the Bengals, Smith and Maualuga should be the highest rated rookies in the game? Come on your showing your blatant bias a little too much for anyone to take it seriously. Smith showed up to the combine over weight, out of shape, and then under performed by lifting 225 about as much as your average LB does who weighs 100 pounds less. O yeah, then he left early, showing off some of the stupidity that got him suspended at Bama from playing in games. I like Mauaguga, he will be a good player for the Bengals. Should he be rated anywhere near the best player in the draft? IMO no he should be ranked about where he is. I am looking forward to seeing how the Bengals passing game looks now that TJ is a Seahawk. You still have the flash of Ocho, but no workhorse like TJ has been the last three years.

bigben July 2, 2009 at 11:59 pm

they will not make the playoffs because it will be the 6 time Super Bowl champs you will have to go agaist to do that and sence your run deffince suck i don't see that happening haha

Tyrus July 7, 2009 at 6:11 pm

They will be in the playoffs this year… watch it happen

bigben July 8, 2009 at 4:47 am

you wish haha

andyg103 July 11, 2009 at 11:48 pm: if those bangals ratings were true than the bengals would be top 5 teams in the nfl. last time i checked they were 4-11-1 and they were the 6th worst team in the nfl,granted they did have a good offseason but there team will push 6 wins at most. accept the fact that all the ratings are low so it doesnt mean ur oweful bengals are the only ones with player rating issues

Nicholas July 19, 2009 at 9:18 pm

Hell yeah you lying. Whjo in the hell likes the bengals?

brandon July 25, 2009 at 9:07 pm: obviously u why u checkin the ratings… who dey

Joseph August 2, 2009 at 4:02 pm

yeah right madden is way better at ratting than u

K.C. July 5, 2009 at 5:47 pm

As a Bengals fan, I can't say too much about this. Palmer's rating is solid. He still has to prove that his elbow is fine. Chad was terrible last year so his rating is deserved. Benson should be at least an 80-82. He was a workhorse last season while knocking Polomalu into next week! The offensive line has terrible ratings. Both Williams and Whitworth are better than a 78. I'd give both those guys an 85. How is Maualuga rated better than Rivers? Before Rivers injury, he was racking up DROY type numbers. Give Rivers an 84 and Maualuga a 77 until he proves himself. Joseph and Hall are better than that. At least 82 for both. We are talking about a defense ranked in the top 15 last season, and there is zero respect for any player. That is what is funny to me.

brandon July 25, 2009 at 9:08 pm: we are talkin about the worst defense… p.s. i still do love the bengals

Reply

TYrus July 7, 2009 at 6:11 pm

The Bengals got a raw deal on this one… Their overall should be at least a 79… its ok though… The Bengals will make the playoffs this year.

Nicholas July 19, 2009 at 9:19 pm: More like a 79-50=BENGALS.HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

whodeybaby July 14, 2009 at 1:08 am

im a huge bengals fan but i cant complain about the offense to much, carson is about right but i think that cedric could be about 2 higher. but the defense finished 12th in yards last year so i think they rated a few players lower than they should be but overall close to where they should be. im prayin for the playoffs though.

Well well well this rating system is leaves a lot to be desired all of the players on all of the teams are VERY VERY low but Cinci a 67 overall come on I can live with Low 80's with the O L their O L is an area of concern but the 3 third yr wr 50's come on thats riddiculas and Carson Palmer is a low 90 qb if you check the stats Cinci D L played pretty well last season Geathers 8885 low 80's for the others that L B core mid 80's all day the D B's were the strong suit high 80's low 90's E Z so they played the whole year with all of everyone INJURED please keep that in mind and THEY WILL MAKE THE PLAYOFFS they will be this yrs Arizona

DolFan 316 July 19, 2009 at 1:05 am

The Ben-gals haven't won a playoff game in 20 years and have ONE playoff appearance since 1990. You schmucks should be grateful they aren't rated LOWER to be honest.

brandon July 25, 2009 at 9:14 pm: comin from dolfan… before this fluke… u guys were worst of the worst… remember… at least we lost by an average of like 5 points to thetoughest scheudle… lost to giants by like 3… same with the cowboys and other teams we finished like 4-2-1. give us a break

DanLax21 July 28, 2009 at 4:28 pm

Haha this is the biggest joke I think I have ever seen. If these ranking are true, I will not play madden this year. Bengals 67 OVR? Whoever created these rankings knows absolutely nothing about football, has no common sense, and is a complete jackass. These rankings are just as bad as voting Obama as president. Haha no comment. It would be nice if we actually get people who know what they're doing. 4-11-1 wasn't a good season for the Cincy Bengals, but you must think about why they had a bad season. Look at how many injuries we had last year. Carson was out almost the entire season with injuries and ryan Fitzpatrick filled in (HE SUCKS!)…Chad wasn't himself bc of injuries. Both are back and hungry to win.

DanLax21 July 28, 2009 at 4:29 pm

With Carson in the lineup they are a huge threat! Look at first couple of games during last years season in which we should have won against great teams. Tie with the eagles? They were a great team that made the playoffs with a tough divison. DONT foget we had Ryan JOKE Fitzpatrick playing quarterback. Our defense is another whole story…Even with the offense not able to score a point and being abs terrible last year, the D was on the field constantly and ended up in the top 15. The additions of Tank johnson, Rey M, and Roy williams makes our D even better. The Bengals LB's are outstanding. They have improved tremedously and will shock the NFL this season. We can be the next Arizona Cardinals. Cedric Benson will once again do great and will be our workhorse even with a young O line. Chris Henry being talked about as the next Randy Moss on ESPN? Think about how much damage the Bengals are going to do this year. Playoffs? Listen to the experts rookies!

superdynamite July 31, 2009 at 5:12 pm

Palmer is the most over rated QB in NFL history. He had 1 exceptional year. Other than that he sux.

C. Palmer 82
Chad Johnson 90
L. Coles 92

DeMarcus July 31, 2009 at 11:30 pm

what has rivers done to earn anythang better than 78 dont get it twisted but pro football player can takle

DeMarcus July 31, 2009 at 11:30 pm

menta put any in that

Grant August 7, 2009 at 7:55 am

ill have u no rivers had the best qb rating last ssn
once again ppl quit being biased they droped every ones rateing so there is room for improvement ur all just use to the usual over rating sit back and think about it…

i dont see bengals makin play offs this yr they could but i dout it
if u think im just hating my team = miami my prediction: 2nd in division 9-7 not making play offs

a fan August 7, 2009 at 9:42 pm

haha this team blows. two rookies are the highest rated players at their positions. it's also funny they wouldn't give ocho a 90, it would be undeserving if they did. the one that stands out to me is blackstock. i think he's a great sub for the D and surprised he didn't get a higher rating.

Nick August 11, 2009 at 6:17 pm
