In case you missed it, the Madded 09 ratings have been leaked. This year's version is looking like it could be one of the best ones yet, and the good news for Chargers fans is that our team is ranked pretty darn high.

As for the individual player ratings, there are a couple of minor complaints I have. Overall, the team is stacked with the lowest rating for a starter going to Eric Weddle (79) and Matt Wilhelm (78). Weddle is far from being the worse player on the starting defense. I'll you one guess as to who it really is - haha! I found it interesting that the gave Jammer a 93 but Cromartie only gets a 92? I wonder if it's his tackling score that's bringing Cro's score down? He is already the best cover corner in the league, in my opinion. Jeromey Clary with an 80? See...I told you we didn't need to draft a tackle!

Madden 09 will once again showcase the bleeding edge of football simulation technology, and I must say I am impressed every year with how life-like the animations are in this game. Working in the game industry myself, I understand how complicated motion-blending can be, but Madden pulls it off without any real awkwardness. Check out Ladainian Tomlinson break some ankles in this trailer...and is that Legedu Naanee? Who is #18? I also spotted Darren Sproles in this trailer. Did I miss anyone?
