Twitter Strikes

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1...-madden-rating


As the OTA's started for the Washington Redskins, new corner back DeAngelo Hall was playing like his old self. EA Sports picked up on Hall losing a step in his game.

Once a top cornerback in EA Sports' title Madden Football, Hall's overall rating has significantly dropped.

His rating was the biggest drop for any player in the entire game. Once a 93 overall rating, Hall is now rated 68 overall.

Being lowered 25 overall rating points, it was to be expected that Hall wouldn't be very pleased. His twitter feed displayed the following...

"So i just found out that Madden killed my rating. Its all good after this season i'll be back at the #1 spot haha" - www.twitter.com/dhall23

There was a blog published on the redskins official site where Matt Tirl interviewed Hall and asked him about his madden rating.

Coupled with his twitter frustration and play during OTA's, Tirl pieced it all together.

He asked Hall if he knew of Ethan Albright's letter to Madden. A fake letter made by an Internet user posing as Albright who was addressing EA in a negative manner over his overall rating, being the lowest in the game. Hall had heard of that

"I heard that, but it had kinda been in one in ear out the other. But as the release date gets closer, I'm starting to get a little bit more paranoid, I'm thinking about trying to get my name and likeness pulled off the game entirely. 'Cause this is bull."

At this point it was obvious that Hall was upset with the lowering of his rating. He would have to have a successful season to get back on top as his twitter feed indicated.

Asked about EA Sports' in-season roster updates, Hall responded

"They do that as the season goes on, so hopefully if I grab ten or twelve [interceptions], and get my respect back, my dignity back ... we'll see."

It is obvious that DeAngelo Hall is upset with EA Sports for lowering his rating in Madden.

By lowering Hall's rating in Madden, it may just motivate him enough to start covering once again. It's definitely been awhile. EA Sports just gave Dan Snyder, the biggest favor he could ever ask for.

Give me a break, I did not think the me first attitude in sports could get worse.

I doubt he is even on a roster next year. The guy has gotten worse every year for at least three years. He and rhodes should get in the same secondary and dominate some middle school games.

He'll make a roster spot but he may not get one early on. You can imagine he will be looking for another pay-day, despite having virtually no value to an NFL team.
