OMG I love this. Thank you!!

Crazy..

My last two games I recorded, my opponent used the Packers.. It's crazy.. I bet a lot more will use them..

10 seems reasonable for the Raiders.. most people think of the Raiders as bad.. they went 8-8.. missed the playoffs barely... Raiders were used by almost all tournament players.. and plus the loyal fans.



Cincy is weird.. Was 4th most popular, but now is 5th least popular.. despite that they got better [Tom Nelson] lol also T.O. got better as the season went on too..




Btw, I've said that the Cardinals are the absolute worst team in Madden 10 and 11.. and I guess I was right in their popularity lol.

Nice find.

I really wish they gave ME access to this kind of data..

ah kinda makes sense

team does well-->ratings boost--->more people use

Makes a lot of sense.
The eagles are all those level 1s that run around with vick.
about 5% of those people actuly have a scheme with him.

Verrrrrry true.. They just love to run back & throw to fast WRs..

Been using Raiders since about week 15 after switching from Chargers. Packers were my BACKUP team since week 15 as well...Ravens my tertiary team as of start of playoffs.

Actually went with Green Bay when everyone considered them down and out...when they needed two win every game from week 15-now...

Crazy they ended up winning the SB.

They are a force on saloon now, too. Only thing they lack is a true speed RB.

I feel they lack speed+height at the WR position.. I'd like the Panthers over them.

The cardinals were def not the worse team in M10... I dont know how many people I pissed on with them. The cards were the team I ran with. Completely shut down Offtackle. They have one of the better dlines in the game and still do. with boldin, fitz, warner, and the way the hit stick worked last year I had them a top 10 team. along with the way zone defense was last year.

But this year they are at the bottom but not the worst. Their defense is way better then the rams or browns. Rams are the worst next to browns.

FINALLY!!!!! i knew i wasnt going crazy! i knew it!!!!!

Packers D unit as a whole > Panthers, IMO.

The Panthers got some athletic freaks, but IDK how many balls that I've thrown straight through a Everette Brown that weren't even reacted to. Matthews/Zombo/heck, even Raji pick those...

You know as well as I, Madden is about athletic freaks lol.. I love their setup for the 46 D.. All the CBs/FSs of course.. but my MLB is Beason.. My DEs: Anderson/Davis My DTs: Charlie Johnson/Everette Brown [or the other guy that's decent speed..both 80 spd, but one has low acc]

Both my DEs have at least 92 ACC/84spd.. great for contain D.

No wonder why so many cats using the Packers as of late...
