All stats are now released, few interesting/noteworthy tidbits for those who play:

Patriots 90+ club
Rob Gronkowski (99)
Tom Brady (97)
Stephen Gostkowski (95)
Devin McCourty (94)
Dont'a Hightower (93)
Sebastien Vollmer (91)
Jamie Collins (90)

Near (notable) misses:
Jerod Mayo (89 (giving our 3 starting LBs 93/90/89, should be the best in the IRL league and madden)
Julian Edelman (89)
Patrick Chung (88, lol)
Chandler Jones (88)
Rob Ninkovich (87)
James Develin (87, respect!)

Other interesting bits:
Jabal Sheard is listed as a DT with a rating of 84, when moved to DE he might be the highest rated DE on the roster.

Malcom Brown comes in at a 72.

Logan Ryan with an 80 edges out Malcom Butler with a 76.

Scott Chandler comes in at a respectable 80.

Jake Bequette is listed as a LE still, Shaq Mason at C, and Tre Jackson at LG (instead of TE, LG, and RG respectively).

Alan Branch and Siliga are the top rated DT's at 79 each (after Sheard who needs a position swap).

No surprise overall that it is one of the most well rounded teams in the game at nearly every position. The OL is weaker due to many rookies and a 2nd year player involved, WRs have no standout but many respectable ratings, TE is stacked, S and LB's are stacked, DE's are good and before any games are played the DT group looks god awful.

On paper thats how the real team looks except Edelman plays far better than he will in the game. The DT and CB crew should see some changes for the positive with the pre-launch update after preseason is finished.

Also for lol's, the Giants have only two players over 90. Our lord and savior OBJ at 94. And a fullback at 90.
 
When's Madden coming out with a legal combat version?
 
Very cool, sounds good. I'm looking forward to the game just like I do every year. It is always interesting to me how they come up with player ratings. I do find it ridiculous that they consider Sheard a DT. I play with the Pats 99% of the time so I will just edit the roster how I like it to make it more realistic.
 
Based on what I've read and some gameplay videos, this game looks like trash. Just saying.
 
That Chung rating tells you all you need to know. I don't know if they admit it, but these are basically coming right from PFF.
 
Man that LB core tho
 
According to this game, Jake Bequette (75 OVR) is in the top half of roster talent.

Chung at 88 is just stupid. Do they watch the games?

I think Brown's rating will go up pretty quickly as the season goes, and hopefully Easley's too. Butler's definitely will. I also expect Bequette, Branch and Chung to all drop.

Hightower, FWIW, is the highest-rated 4-3 OLB in the game. The only guys higher than him are 3-4 edge rushers.
 
In the Create-a-Player mode, I'm going to manufacture Goodell* as the QB for the Jests. I will make his numbers reflect the reality of his (missing) personality (zeroes everywhere) then sic the Pats on him. :D

Chung was about an 83-84 at the end of the roster updates last season. They should have kept him where he was then.
 
Can't understand how Brady doesn't have a 99.

The last 3/4s of the season, he was magnificent. And especially in the playoffs.
 
Why the hell does a guy who hasn't done a damn thing in his three years in the league still get a 75 rating? Yeah I'm talking about Jake Bequette.
 
Glad to see they're finally giving Siliga a little more respect though

All three seem grossly underrated. :)

Jake Bequette has a 99 rating in the "damning photos of coach with livestock" category.
 
Keep in mind that safety has the worst depth out of any position in the league. Chung played like a solid safety last year. 88 is a tad high, but if he was 85 I think that would be fine.

Funny that Chung is an 88 and Ward is an 87. I remember when we were all freaking out when the Broncos signed him.

That would boost your ratings quite a bit.. Probably a 38 overall rating without that ;)
 
Malcom Brown - 72 (No respect)
Trey Flowers - 72

I thought Malcom Brown was supposed to be a top ten pick??
