Over the last two weeks, IGN has been revealing the Madden ratings, division-by-division, team-by-team. With each player's ratings now available in the public domain, it's high time that IGN went and gave an overall Top 50 players list to get the arguments flowing about who should be higher or lower on the list.
First, the overall top 50. Because there are many players with similar ratings, these ratings are sorted by player rating and then last name; even though Tom Brady's listed first and LaDainian Tomlinson shows up sixth, they're tied for first, which is reflected in the field on the left.
