Madden 12

This was the first year that Kyle Williams was the highest rated player on the Bills having a rating of 93 after his Pro Bowl year last season. The rating for the Bills was a 73 in Madden 12 and the Bills began this season strong starting 3-0 while defeating the Patriots in week 3. The Bills saw serious injuries to Shawne Merriman, Eric Wood, Terrence McGee, Kyle Williams, Torell Troup, and Fred Jackson that derailed the season. Ryan Fitzpatrick had a rating of 81 this year passing to Stevie Johnson with a rating of 86. Even with the hot start, the Bills ended the season 6-10 which was 4th in the AFC East.

Madden 13

The Bills rating made it up to an 80 in Madden 13 which was lead by Mario Williams who had an impressive overall rating of 97. Jairus Byrd was rated an 87 in Madden 13 but in the 2012 season Byrd was named to the Pro Bowl and was selected to All-Pro Team which has a big effect in his overall for next year’s game. C.J. Spiller 80, and Kyle Williams 90 were both named to the Pro Bowl this year as well. The Buffalo Bills finished the season with another 6-10 record in Chan Gailey’s last year with the Bills.

Madden 25

With Jairus Byrd’s great season last year his overall ranking was increased to a 95 in Madden 25 which made him the highest rated player on the Buffalo Bills. C.J. Spiller also received an overall increase to a 92 with his speed being 96. Doug Marrone started his tenure with the Bills leading them to a 9-7 record. The Bills rating was a 73 in Madden 25. E.J. Manuel was the Buffalo Bills quarterback this year with an overall rating of 74. I remember the auto depth chart would place QB Kevin Kolb over Manuel since he had a 76 rating but I would keep changing it back to Manuel since he was a little faster then Kolb.
