If you are a hardcore Madden player or more of a recreational player and you play with the Chiefs prepare to be disappointed. The Chiefs have their worst team overall since the game came out and have absolutely no offensive or defensive weapons leaving the Chiefs ill-equipped to match up with other teams.

The Chiefs are clearly getting punished by the game creators for winning only six games over the past two seasons and are not being judged player by player. Larry Johnson lost his status as a 90 overall or better in a year where he averaged 4.5 yards a carry and his backup Jamal Charles was pushed down from a 75 to a 68 after a rookie season in which he had a 100 yard game rushing and receiving.

Some of the ratings were complete head scratchers Matt Cassel is a 83 overall after tossing 21 touchdowns and 11 interceptions but Tyler Thigpen is a 66 after throwing for 18 scores and 12 picks? How is Bobby Engram seven points better than Mark Bradley when Bradley scored three more touchdowns than Engram and averaged four more yards per catch?

Maurice Leggett may have got the worst deal of all he is rated as a 59 overall after coming from being a un drafted free agent to scoring in consecutive weeks and winning special teams player of the week honors. Bottom line if you play with the Chiefs you better hope they improve greatly sometime between now and the first roster update.
