I have played solely with the Panthers ever since Madden 2003 when it first went online with the PS2. I will not switch and yes there will be a lot of peeps using the Panthers this year because of the Cam effect. The same with the Redskins because of RG3, but Panthers will get more play.

Are the Carolina player ratings out?

they have released everyone's overalls except for defensive rookies for some reason. some notables:

Cam is an 89 OVR

Beast is a 93

CJ is a 91, as is Gamble

Smitty is a 95

d'lo and stew are 84's i believe and Tolbert is an 89 as a FB.

Here's the link to the full player ratings if anyone's interested: http://web-vassets.ea.com/Assets/Resources/File/MADDEN13_RATINGS_REVEAL_ALL.xlsx

And for those Excel n000bzz out there...if you wanna sort it by Team (so you can check out all the Panthers together), go to "Sort & Filter" at the top right -> Custom sort -> Sort by TEAM (scroll up to the very top).

I'm still upset about Cam's deep ball.....75 OVR is a joke. Let's take a look at some of the guys with better deep accuracy than Cam (from a Madden perspective of course): TJ Yates, Ryan Lindley (rookie 6th round draft pick for the Cardinals), Terrell Pryor, John Skelton, The Golden Calf of Bristol, Andy Dalton, Brock Osweiler, Brandon Weeden, Josh Freeman...and whose company does he join among the 75 Deep Accuracy club? Ryan Tannehill, Jason Campbell, and Chad Henne. Those are apparently his equals with regards to deep passes.

Joe Adams with 90 speed is pretty disappointing too...when it comes to ratings like speed, acceleration, and strength, the Combine is the BIBLE. It's pure laziness...there's no watching tape to see a player's game speed or any of that. It all comes down to one sub-5 second event.

I think McClain and Fua are both at like 85-90 block shedding which is pretty damn generous lol, so I'll take the good with the bad I guess.

Josh Norman man coverage is a 84. THANK GOD i will not have to start Captain.

Yeah, only 85 speed though...which is a huge limitation in Madden. Captain's speed actually went up between Madden 12 and Madden 13, he's at a solid 90 now. Not saying I'm gonna start Captain over Norman...but for speedier receivers, I'd definitely have to consider it.

That's just such horseshit. I'm sorry, but I'm tweaking his deep ball to like a 90.

I have the season ticket. To tell you the truth its the same old crap. Panthers around 76 overall which isn't really good enuff to be played seriously in real competition. Cam is great but lafell has boo boo hands and will drop everything. The Wr corp. is not very good outside Steve Smith who is great,but madden has never been nice to 5'9 wrs who feed off the deep ball. No one hardly ever beats the jam which really hurts on must have downs. The defense is improved but don't look to just win with flat out good play calling. Munn is the whipping boy and get beaten almost every single down i have played with him.

Norman is a monster if he gets his hands on it, its as good as picked off. I think he has like 78 catch.

With that said the 85-86 speed is enuff to not want him on the outside. I can remember playing last night and victor cruz destroyed him pretty much every chance he wasn't in zone coverage. Gamble is a great. No complaints about him, which is great because he does his job without me having to babysit him(see munn quote). Charles Johnson is pretty much what you expect him to be. 7 times out of 10 if you hear sack on the play its King Charles.

Backs are as advertised but, the offensive line isn't as good as it's been in years past. if you hit auto reorder amini isn't even in the starting rotation. They take him out for pollack. Also Byron Bell gets the boot for Gary Williams. Madden has not done us panther fans any favors this year. hopefully we win a few early and our ratings increase. I don't think you will have many people beating down the door to play with us after the game has been out a few weeks.

Yeah I forgot they gave LaFell 80 catching...he had some of the best hands in the league last year.

Another positive though is that Beason is still a 95 injury. I know last year was a fluke since he never missed a game in his career before that, but I still expected Madden to freak out and drop him 10-15 points.

      In my opinion Fitterer was probably right about not paying McCaffrey. Now not wanting to "pay RBs" in my opinion isn't something you want to set in stone, to me it all comes down to the individual.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      Maybe I'm just not understanding, but everywhere that I have read says that signing bonuses go against the cap prorated by as much as five years. The following example uses Andrew Luck's rookie contract as an example. "Take Andrew Luck, the first overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft. Luck signed a four-year contract with the Colts worth $22.1 million and included a $14.5 million signing bonus. Rather than a $14.5 million cap hit in 2012, the Colts spread out his signing bonus over the life of his contract. The hit against the cap would be $3.625 million per year over four years instead of a direct cap hit of $14.5 million directly in 2012. This gave the Colts more leverage and cap flexibility in signing other players." https://www.the33rdteam.com/nfl-signing-bonuses-explained/ I don't know why some of you think that signing bonuses aren't counted against the cap over the length of the contract, but whatever.   "The bonus with a signing is usually the most garish aspect of a rookie contract. Bonus is the immediate cash players receive when they ink a deal. It factors into the cap, but only for the whole contract duration, in terms of salary cap calculations. In the case of Bryce Young’s $24.6 million signing bonus, that’s prorated to approximately $6.15 million per season over a four-year deal. This format allows teams to handle the cap and provides rookies with some short-term fiscal stability, which is important given the high injury risk in this league." https://collegefootballnetwork.com/how-rookie-contracts-work-in-the-nfl/ I understand how signing bonuses can be a useful tool in order to manage the cap, and as one of the article suggests, signing bonuses may become important if you have a tight cap, but the bill is always going to come due. I'm not necessarily referring to you Tuka, but it seems to me that others simply don't want to understand that fact which is why they're reacting to what I'm saying negatively. How odd. In any event, I have a better general understanding of why signing bonuses are used now, and it's generally to fit salaries under the cap. Surely players, whether they be rookies or not, love a signing bonus because they get a good portion of their money up front. This in turn gives them more security and probably amounts to tax benefits as well. I also understand why teams would not want to use signing bonuses, particularly for players or draftees who have a higher probability of being gone before a contract even ends.
