Madden 07 Rankings

An article off ESPN's Page Two section about Madden's ranking of players.

It's pretty friggin funny, plus reading this beats the tar out of complaining about "That big evil corporation" again...

Hilarious.

Madden's advanced technology allows one to simulate what Alex Smith would look like remaining vertical for an entire play.

Some of the rankings are way off. Reggie Bush an 87 overall from the get go? Not even any training camp or preseason progression?

They'll be finer tweaked with the updates.

Re: Madden 07 Rankings

This was my favorite part of the article...

35 -- The strength rating for Eagles receiver Todd Pinkston. How weak is Stinkston? Thirty-nine kickers and punters are given higher ratings. Thirty-nine. Yikes. If that's not a punch in the frail, tender, feeble stomach, then I don't know what is. In fact, I'm kind of excited to fire up Madden '07 to see if the game's programmers switched Pinkston's mug shot with that of a cat. Might as well hammer home the point, huh?

35 -- Not that Pinkston is the only non-kicker to get a 35 strength rating. Eagles receiver and kick returner Jeremy Bloom got one, too. So remember, Eagles fans: just tap that pass button in Madden '07. You don't want Donovan McNabb to accidentally kill his waifish receiving corps with high-velocity throws.
