Buccaneers on Madden 2005

[Fantasyplayer87]

Boy are they gonna be fun to use. Unlike the real world, in madden your players don't get injured as much. I mean look at what the players will probably be:

81-85 Brad Johnson
72-78 Chris Simms
75-85 Charlie (Questionable here)
80 est Pittman
90 est Alstott
85-91 WR Keenan McCardell
78-85 WR Joey Galloway
70-80 WR Michael Clayton
70-80 WR Joey J
75 est WR Charles Lee
Better O-line(won't even try to go there)
98 est DE Simeon Rice
96 est DT McFarlnad
70-80 DT Russell
70-80 DT Darby
80-90 DE Spires
75-85 DE Dewayne White
70-80 DE Corey Smith
78-85 OLB Ian Gold with 86 est speed!
85 est MLB Shelton Quarles
99 ovr OLB Derrick Brooks
96 est CB Ronde Barber
94 est CB Brian Kelly (after last year they know he is good)
86 est CB Mario Edwards
70-80 CB Tom Knight
60-70 CB Corry Ivy
60-75 CB Torry Cox
68-78 FS Will Allen
86 est FS Dwight Smith
78-85 SS Jermaine Phills
K
P (I don't even end up using em much anyway)

KR..we have good depth here now, Galloway, Mark Jones etc.

I think it will be a good year to be a buc fan on madden


:cool:

[magic-Bucsfan]

i doubt mcFarland will be that high, maybe like 88. and garner will be like 83

[TBRyan21]

i was about to say that Magic...

Galloway will be rated low too...

[magic-Bucsfan]

galloway should be like 80-82

[TBRyan21]

Galloway will be a 77 at best... my guess will be 75

[magic-Bucsfan]

it should be like 80, he's a good WR.

[BaDaBinGnRT]

B. Johnson - 88 rating
C.Garner- 83 rating

those ratings seem a lot more realistic

[Ballin_Since_76]

i dont think dewayne white is gonna be rated much higher than 70. i hope clayton is rated really high....that would rock

[BucPride2003]

Maddens gonna own in 2005 over ESPN.

Oh, he better be...or I will make him better. McFarland took most of the double teams last year (Rice). And boy is he fast, strong, and good!

in the 02 franchise i've been running (yes, still), mcfarland never went above 80. he didn't move from 80 until he hit age 33 when he started declining.

i always thought the younger players improved:confused:

Nope, he starts out at 80. Plus hes hurt. So whats wrong with 78

You have to get sacks and tackles; forced fumbles and TDs don't hurt either

The bucs are better than that; that's what's wrong:D

[CrAsH_oVeRdRiVe]

B. Johnson - 91 (he was after the roster update)
C.Garner- 89
Alstott- 92
McCardell- 88
Galloway- 85
Dilger- 82
Deese- 89
Stinchcomb- 82
Wade- 78
Coleman-80
Steussie- 85

Gramatica- 92
Bidwell- 83

Rice- 97
McFarland 93 (he was 93 after the roster update)
Russel - between 79-88
Spires- 76

Brooks- 98
Gold- 86
Quarles- 85

Barber 94
Kelly 90
Edwards 85

Smith 88 - 90 (was an 85 in 2004 as a safety. his awareness should go up and had a good season at the safety position)
Phillips 84 (plug in his stats at the SS and add some awareness, . it all adds up) I'm also confident he'll be an 89-92 by the end of the season from his performance.

it doesn't work that way on mine. i had a player with 27 sacks and he declined after the season, and he was only 29.:confused:

i'm not even gonna mention causing fumbles. its easier to return 6 punts for TD's in a game than it is to cause 1 fumble.:mad:

[55dbrooks55]

Why is Mario Edwards rated so high (even if its an estimate)?
IMO...I think he should be rated around 69-74.

[Rocafella]

Umm...A+ drops to B...when they gain Ian Gold and Mario Edwards, and lose Sapp and Lynch.


I say they still got an A Defense, and around a B+ offense with Johnson, Alstott, Garner, McCardell, and Galloway,

Because I don't know... that's what he was rated last year in Madden. Why would he suddenly drop to 74? That'd make no sense especially after being part and starter of the number 1 pass defense.

I think the Bucs defense will be - anywhere between 86 to as high as 89.

[BuccaneersUK]

What arre the chances of Brooks and Rice being 99?

I would say high. If not they should be easy to get up throu Training Camp =]

EA Sports has already said the stats will be carried on from the last roster update. Which means Brooks WILL be a 98, Rice WILL be a 97.
