The Cleveland Browns Starting Lineup According to Madden 10 Ratings

Every year, there is one video game that comes out and sells million of copies.

No other video game franchise has seen the type of year-in and year-out success as the Madden football game series has.

As Cleveland Browns fans have known, their team is usually not rated that high, and most of the players are mediocre.

After a very lackluster 2008 season, the expert analysts at Electronic Arts have studied the tapes and crunched all the other numbers to produce the player ratings for the Browns in video game land.

Once again, it's a mediocre year of player ratings for most of the Browns

According to these ratings, the following is what the Madden creators believe will be the Browns starting lineup for the home opener in 2009.

Many of the players have the ability to play different positions, so this isn't really an accurate depiction of what their starting lineup will be, but with training camp less than a month away, it will be interesting to see if Madden 10's experts are right or not.

If you're a true Browns football fan, you probably have been waiting for these ratings to come out, and can't wait to buy the game when it comes out on August 14.
