A fresh infusion of talent by way of the NFL draft is the surest way your favorite team can build for the future. Why do you think we always debate the top draft classes and not the top free agency classes of all time? We get excited adding rookies to Madden NFL 12 too. Rather than tweaking and adjusting ratings for the same old veterans we get to build new guys from scratch, projecting how they’ll transition to the pro game. If only their coaches could do that.

Today we’re looking at the top overall rookies in Madden NFL 12 according to ratings. Simply put, these are the new guys we’ve added to the game that should have the biggest impact right out of the box.

There are a lot more rookies in a lot more categories –like Top Wide Receivers or Running Backs—so keep it locked here. For now, get to know this batch of first year players.

10. Robert Quinn - DE - STL - 78 OVR

9. Julio Jones - WR, ATL - 78 OVR

8. Mark Ingram - RB - NO - 79 OVR

7. Mike Pouncey - OL - MIA - 79 OVR

6. Von Miller - OLB - DEN - 79 OVR

5. J.J. Watt - DE - HOU - 80 OVR

4. A.J. Green - WR - CIN - 80 OVR

3. Prince Amukamara - CB - NYG - 81 OVR

2. Marcell Dareus - DE - BUF - 82 OVR

1. Patrick Peterson - CB - ARZ - 82 OVR

That’s our look at the top rookies in Madden NFL 12. There are a lot more rookies in a lot more categories still to come. And remember we’ll be consistently updating all rosters and all players during the 2011 NFL season, so these lists are just a starting point. Keep it here for more on Madden NFL 12 rookies, ratings and info.

JJ Watt's rating is too high imo

I learnt a long time ago to buy every second Madden (as changes only come every 2 years) - this is a year I buy one so I'm getting excited for it!

 

[Big Mick]

Bought one last year...didn't really love it.

Will sell that and NCAA 11 and buy the Madden 12

Already bought NCAA 12 that's arrived today...so I'll get to play it tomorrow one i pick it up...schwing!

Itching for madden 12
my gf goes over seas for a month pretty much the day its released, so my plan is to pick it up on the way back from the airport

I've bought NCAA 12 this year, waiting for it to come in the mail. Should be a good one.

On backorder though. Good idea to get yourself a US version of Madden too (if you are gonna get it) because you can upload draft classes into it....

 

[Shorty]

I'm going to get NCAA 12 also, not sure about Madden....I dunno I like NCAA better.

 

[Big Tim]

Havent bought Madden since 08.....

NCAA is my fav, but I am letting it go this year as I have bigger fish to fry with finances.

I've been smashing up NCAA 12 - it's kinda average.

It is very detailed, the amount of work to run a dynasty is amazing.. But not a whole lot different since last year.

One thing that really pisses me off is the field.. The grass looks like a swamp, if madden has the right texture why do I have to play in swamps.

I'm keen for madden, the new tackle system came up pretty good in NCAA.

 

[Big Tim]

It could be argued that alot of the college fields are swamps..... I wont though

You're playing the Gators at home:sarcasm:
Have you played Road to Glory? A full highschool season to boost your credentials I really like that.

Im going back to uni in 2nd semester, my month away from the ol ball and chains will consist of work, study madden, pizza and drinking... :lol:

going to be a cracker month

 

[Big Mick]

Been playing NCAA 12 this weekend.

Bit underwhelmed tbh.

Apart from the 3D grass and changes to road to glory...there isn't much to get excited about.

There aren't huge changes in gameplay from NCAA 11 that make me excited.

I'll be selling my NCAA 11 and Madden 11 package to get some cash back...and then buying Madden 12 so I can export draft classes etc.

anyone getting this game tomorrow?

I tried to find the game today with no luck : (

 

[Raider_69]

Ill either pick it up tomorrow or friday
but i wont play it until friday night, my GF leaves for europe friday afternoon and i promised i wouldnt buy it before he left

if i get the chance, i will buy it but ill stash it around the house so after i drop her at the air port i can come straight home and get stuck into it.
Either way, by friday 5pm ill have a bottle of vodka, a bottle of coke, a pizza on its way and madden for my weekend.
