I know Madden-School didn’t release these ratings but we all know these ratings aren’t true. EA-Sports did the same thing last year. They diminish player ratings during early revealing in the last Madden. Jamaal Charles and Adrian Peterson are two of the most explosive backs in the NFL. Both had a 97 Speed last Madden. The revealed ratings gave Charles a 92 speed and Adrian a 90 speed. Madden Fans, don’t let these ratings fool you!

I don’t know where Madden ratings are going. I still can’t believe that they reduced Lynch’s and Jamal’s speed. I understand they are trying to stop everyone’s speed from being in the high 90’s, but man! Help change Madden ratings —-> https://t.co/Lryb6bwktS

Is Madden reducing all RBs speed and increasing their agility, juke move, and elusiveness, ? Makes sense to me because most RBs don’t have speed in high 90s.

@madden school, marshawn lynch’s ratings are ridiculous lol. U guys are going to have to come up with a tips video just on how to tackle him in madden 16. EA has made him unstoppable. I already have trouble with stopping all of the running backs from running like mad men in madden 15,so I can only imagine how difficult it will be to stop these guys in madden 16 smh. Wow!
