'Madden NFL16' News, Gameplay And Review: The AFC North Team Ratings
We are three weeks away from the release of Madden NFL 16.
EA Sports recently released their ratings for teams that are in the AFC North. Last year's AFC North champion, the Pittsburgh Steelers, are seeking a second consecutive division title. Here are the ratings for all four teams in the AFC North:
Pittsburgh Steelers' Overall Team Rating: 84
The Steelers are coming off an 11-5 season and are seeking a second straight AFC North crown. Several key players on defense decided to retire (Ryan Clark and Troy Polamalu) this offseason, so the Steelers defense looks a lot different this year. The offense is still the same with quarterback Ben Roethlisberger leading the team and star wide receiver Antonio Brown. Will the Steelers repeat?
Cincinnati Bengals' Overall Team Rating: 84
The Bengals are an enigma. Every year they have the potential to win the North and the Super Bowl but for some reason they cannot get out of the first round. The offense is being led by quarterback Andy Dalton and star wide receiver A.J. Green. With the emergence of running back Jeremy Hill, will the Bengals finally make it out of the first round? Will the defense step it up as well?
Baltimore Ravens' Overall Team Rating: 85
The Baltimore Ravens have a new offensive coordinator in Marc Trestman, which could help out quarterback Joe Flacco. The Ravens made the playoffs as a wild card last season but were eliminated in the first round by the Patriots. This season the team will be relying on its defense. With linebacker Terrell Suggs back in the fold, can the Ravens take the AFC North?
Cleveland Browns' Overall Team Rating: 75
New uniforms and a slightly different shade of color will be debuting this season for the Browns. There is a quarterback controversy in Cleveland with Johnny Manziel and Josh McCown. In his rookie season, Manziel hasn't played as much but with now has a chance to seize the starting quarterback job. New pieces such as former Dolphins wide receiver Brian Hartline and former Chiefs receiver Dwayne Bowe will help the offense. The defense is being led by pro bowler Joe Haden and linebacker Karlos Dansby. It might be a long season in Cleveland but they have a bright future ahead of them.
Madden NFL 16 will be in stores on Aug. 25 for the Xbox One, Xbox 360, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3.
