Not one Cowboy in the top 5 OL in Madden 16

If they do it by individual position, that'd surprise me.
Ex....Tyron is probably a top 5 LT.
Do they?

If it's top 5 overall, I could easily see how we wouldn't have one I there.

Good point. They probably rate LTs higher than RGs. But, if that's the case, it's still shocking that Tyron wouldn't be in there. Honestly, I'd put Fred and Martin over Tyron, but Tyron is valuable because of his position.

Wow, didn't even register a blip here, gotta admit I'm surprised.

edit: even more surprised that no one got up in arms over Antonio Brown being the #1 WR and Dez being #2

I am more upset about Dez having an 89 speed.

I'm so out of touch with Madden, I don't even know if that is a big deal. Size, leaping ability and catch were the main factors on who was a good receiver and who wasn't the last time I played, and 89 speed, while not great, was still more than good enough. Now, I'm not sure

Ehhh I think so. Flatline speed is my favorite statistic. Then again I play ALOT online. You can have a 4th string corner start at number 2 if they have enough speed to stick with the WR's.

Speed is almost the end all in all aspects of Madden outside of the QB (also why I don't enjoy it as much/often as I used to). Even G's w/better speed are better at RBlocking simply bc they make contact quicker (suction blocking takes over). 89 speed takes away most RAC opps as well as the deep ball. Sux mainly for Online players who have to use the preset-EA updated rosters.

That's the biggest complaint I've ever had with Madden. The Raiders - in 11 or 12 maybe - were probably the best team on the game because all of their WRs and corners were 90+ speed, but, in reality, they sucked lol

Now, an 89 speed isn't slow, but it basically means you won't get big plays without breaking a tackle. That's pretty accurate for Dez but it makes it a lot more difficult to use him effectively. He'll still be able to outjump most any DB, but you have to be good on the sticks and user catches for that to matter, and most people who play Madden - especially those who complain about it - don't take the time to do that.

Agreed completely. Back when I used to be able to do this, I would stick Newman as my 2nd WR and have him on streaks the entire game because he had a 98 speed :) .


I think I am going to have to put Dez in the slot again this year, and have Cole as my 2nd WR doing slants until Dez's speed rating goes up.

We will see though. I am just grateful the passrush should get going online.
 
I don't know why everybody cares so much about lists. They are meaningless. Just win the SB. That's all that matters.

Online players have to use the EA rosters, so they feel shorted when our players are shorted. Not the same as the off season rankings written up by analysts we usually tend to gripe about in fan zone:D. I mainly play offline dynasty so these aspects wouldn't effect me much, etc.

Animations have become a big part of sports games so Dez probably does a lot of crazy animations that get him the space he needs to burn the defense.

Some of those old Maddens when we had Quincy..

I'd run the heck out of it with Emmitt and playaction deep to Rocket and Galloway. Worked pretty good.

AKA: rocket catching. Still big part of the game, little harder to pull off on deep balls. Shameful in that NFL 2K didn't rely on animations (as minimal as possible) but instead a physics based collision system (similar to Backbreaker). RIP quality football video games:D
