I for one seem to think that they actually rated us fair this year with the exception of Randle El's speed and overall wide receiver rating.

I think the reason they haven't updated Rock Cartwright's return rating is because the return rating is decided on agility, speed, break tackle, and things like that. Rock isn't terribly speedy or agile and I honestly don't seem him break too many tackles (don't get me wrong he is an amazing return man). I'm pretty sure the creators in Madden don't give out punt or kick return ratings, they are based on different player attributes - attributes that I assume Rock doesen't have. Madden isn't too much like real life, Rock takes the kickoff return and just runs it as fast as he can right up the middle of the field it seems, if you did that in Madden without making any moves you would go down at your own 16.
That being said I still love Rock and he is a great return man in real life, just not Madden.
