For gamers, Tuesday was a holiday of sorts. It was the day Madden '13 was released.
Compared to last year's team ratings, the San Francisco 49ers saw the biggest jump of any team in the NFL. The 49ers were given a 77 overall rating in Madden '12 and were bumped up to 89 in this year's edition. Only the Packers (91), Patriots (91) and Giants (90) have a higher rating.
Here's a roster breakdown with each player's individual rating:
Quarterbacks
| Pos | Name | Rating |
| QB | Alex Smith | 83 |
| QB | Colin Kaepernick | 70 |
| QB | Josh Johnson | 70 |
| QB | Scott Tolzien | 65 |
Comment -- Kaepernick and Johnson are even? Sorry, but no. Kaepernick has clearly shown throughout training camp he's a better player. In a video game, Johnson's speed at QB makes him more valuable than Scott Tolzien, but in real life, they're close.
Running backs
| Pos | Name | Rating |
| RB | Frank Gore | 92 |
| RB | Brandon Jacobs | 81 |
| FB | Bruce Miller | 77 |
| RB | Kendall Hunter | 75 |
| RB | LaMichael James | 73 |
| RB | Anthony Dixon | 68 |
| RB | Rock Cartwright | 67 |
Comment -- Hunter's rating seems a bit low, especially when compared to Jacobs.
Wide receivers
| Pos | Name | Rating |
| WR | Randy Moss | 84 |
| WR | Michael Crabtree | 83 |
| WR | Mario Manningham | 82 |
| WR | Ted Ginn Jr. | 74 (99 return) |
| WR | Kyle Williams | 69 |
| WR | A.J. Jenkins | 69 |
| WR | Brett Swain | 64 |
| WR | Chris Owusu | 62 |
| WR | Nathan Palmer | 53 |
Comment -- Looks about right. It'd be hard for the game developers to gauge how good Moss should be after not playing last season and a forgettable 2010. For guys like Swain, Owusu and Palmer, the rating essentially means nothing.
Tight ends
| Pos | Name | Rating |
| TE | Vernon Davis | 95 |
| TE | Delanie Walker | 80 |
| TE | Konrad Reuland | 62 |
Comment -- That works.
Offensive line
| Pos | Name | Rating |
| LG | Mike Iupati | 91 |
| LT | Joe Staley | 87 |
| C | Jonathan Goodwin | 79 |
| RT | Anthony Davis | 77 |
| RG | Alex Boone | 69 |
| G/C | Daniel Kilgore | 67 |
| OT | Mike Person | 65 |
| OG | Joe Looney | 63 |
| OL | Derek Hall | 62 |
| OG | Leonard Davis | -- |
Comment -- Mildly surprised that Iupati is rated ahead of Staley, but EA showed both guys some love with their ratings. Their rating of Boone was a shot in the dark, considering he's never played G before.
Defensive line
| Pos | Name | Rating |
| DE | Justin Smith | 98 |
| WR | Ray McDonald | 92 |
| WR | Isaac Sopoaga | 85 |
| WR | Ricky Jean Francois | 74 |
| WR | Ian Williams | 64 |
| WR | Demarcus Dobbs | 64 |
| WR | Will Tukuafu | 63 |
| WR | Tony Jerod-Eddie | 53 |
Comment -- A year after being named All-Pro at two positions, Smith was rated appropriately. McDonald at 92 seems a little high when compared to Sopoaga.
Linebackers
| Pos | Name | Rating |
| ILB | Patrick Willis | 98 |
| ILB | NaVorro Bowman | 91 |
| OLB | Aldon Smith | 89 |
| OLB | Parys Haralson | 85 |
| OLB | Ahmad Brooks | 84 |
| ILB | Larry Grant | 74 |
| LB | Tavares Gooden | 69 |
| OLB | Cam Johnson | 59 |
| LB | Joe Holland | 48 |
Comment -- Willis is the best LB in the game, but Bowman played at a similar level last season when he earned a Pro Bowl berth in his first year as a starter. He'll need another season like that to get on Willis' level in the eyes of the Madden developers.
Secondary
| Pos | Name | Rating |
| CB | Carlos Rogers | 91 |
| SS | Dashon Goldson | 88 |
| FS | Donte Whitner | 84 |
| CB | Tarell Brown | 83 |
| CB | Tramaine Brock | 77 |
| CB | Chris Culliver | 74 |
| CB | Perrish Cox | 70 |
| S | C.J. Spillman | 68 |
| S | Colin Jones | 68 |
| S | Trenton Robinson | 67 |
Comment -- Of all the ratings, the biggest oversight might be Brock being rated better than Culliver. Culliver graded out better than Brock last year and should have been rated accordingly.
Specialists
| Pos | Name | Rating |
| P | Andy Lee | 95 |
| K | David Akers | 91 |
| LS | Brian Jennings | 61 |
Comment -- Hard to argue with a 95 and a 91, but Akers is coming off the best season a kicker has ever had. What does he have to do to move up?
