Madden 09 McFadden Ranking?

[S&B_BO34]

Alright, I enjoy Madden and play periodically, but wanted to get insight from those that play a lot!
What will McFadden be ranked overall? What about his individual categories like speed, acceleration, catching, carry, break tackle, agility?
I am guessing 98 for speed, 99 for acceleration and agility. 79 for catching, 72 for carry, and 82 for break tackle.
Kind of a hybrid player between Peterson and Bush. With an 86 overall ranking as a rookie.
Thoughts?

Look for McFadden to be rated about 84-85 overall...The individual categories are usually completely off.

[MANDINGO]

84-87 by his habilities, i think in awareness would be low.

It'll definitely be different, but when i imported my NCAA draft class to Madden, McFadden had a 87 rating coming in but he had none of the Icons but three were pretty damn close to having skill icons.

Last year I got an updated roster from some guy online that had all the rookies and off season moves on the rosters after the draft.

Any of you seen anything like this mentioned this year?

[MT/Cali Raider]

speed and acceleration should be great, awareness tackle breaking should be pretty low. i would say he should be a solid 85 overall.

[N.O.RaiDaNation]

I'm just happy i'll be able to do anything on offense again. Couldnt move the ball with fargas porter and curry. Javon and mcfadden will be huge upgrades

86-87
with good awareness for a rookie

[Chewy316]

I think he'll be rated pretty highly, around 84-85. He'll have 95+ speed and great awareness. I think that his strength will be a little down though, although I don't think that he is a weak baller in real life.

[Raiders NY]

He will have good rating but with all rookies his awareness will be really low which hurts his impact a little. Those plays where you may be one guy missing a tackle away from getting a 40+ yard run might not happen quite as often.

His stiff arm will be REALLY high though lol.

I will make sure I use Mcfadden early and often. Bush will get a few carries too along with Fargas. Mcfadden will be everywhere though. Plus we actually have WR's now!!!! Jamarcus awareness BETTER be higher.

[kennyrat923]

I borrowed the NCAA 08 Football from my friend and exported the graduating class.

McFadden ended up at an 87 with low awareness. Speed 93, agility, 93, break tackles 85, carrying 85 catching 68 awareness was in the mid sixties. Put him through training camp and BAM, he's now a 90 after I added 5 points to his carrying.

Who knows what the attributes will really be but it's just something to hold me until 09 Madden comes out.

[Naphtali]

His catching should be 80 or more, THP and THA about 73 and 80, speed should be 98 or more for starters

Its gonna be crazy with all these people useing the Raiders online.

Just look at the speed .McFadden 97-98,Drew Carter 96ish ,Fargas 95,Javon 93-92,Higgins-95,Shields,92-93.

compare that to last year when Jerry Porter was your only legit player with speed.

Well Higgins was on it last year and Drew Carter will probably get 94 speed but recently its been better to have big WRs in Madden than fast ones unless they are above or at 96 speed
