Michael Vick Madden Ratings History
Michael Vick's Madden ratings tell one of the most unusual stories in the MaddenRatings.net database.
Vick entered the Madden era as a young quarterback with a 72 overall rating, quickly developed into one of the highest-rated quarterbacks in the game, and reached 95 overall during his early years with the Atlanta Falcons.
His rating history then took a dramatic turn before eventually documenting his return to the NFL with the Philadelphia Eagles and later the Pittsburgh Steelers.

One year later, his rating had increased to 78.
Then came a major jump.

Vick's Early Madden Peak
Vick's early peak was not limited to one season.
After reaching 95 overall in Madden NFL 2004, he remained in the 90s for the next several recorded releases:
His rating remained firmly in the elite range even after falling from his 95 peak.
The Major Change in Vick's Rating History
The most unusual part of Vick's Madden history occurs after his early Atlanta years.
His Madden NFL 08 entry shows an 89 overall rating.
His later recorded Madden history then shows him at 73 overall in Madden NFL 10 and Madden NFL 11.
This represents a dramatic change from the quarterback who had previously been rated 95 overall.
The database also identifies roster changes associated with Vick's later Madden entries, providing additional context for the unusual rating timeline.
The Philadelphia Comeback
Vick's Madden history takes another major turn in Madden NFL 12.
After being recorded at 73 overall in Madden NFL 10 and Madden NFL 11, his Madden NFL 12 rating jumps to 93 overall with Philadelphia.
That represents a 20-point increase from the previous recorded rating.
It is one of the most dramatic rating rebounds in Vick's entire Madden history.
His rating remained high in Madden NFL 13, when he was recorded at 89 overall.
A Second Elite Period
The jump to 93 overall in Madden NFL 12 shows that Vick's Madden history wasn't simply a story of decline after his early Atlanta peak.
Instead, the database documents a second period in which Vick returned to the upper levels of Madden ratings.
His ratings during this period were:
93 OVR — Madden NFL 12
89 OVR — Madden NFL 13
That second peak was shorter than his original Atlanta run, but it represents an important part of his overall Madden history.
The Later Career
Vick's later Madden ratings gradually declined.
The database records:
81 OVR — Madden NFL 25
79 OVR — Madden NFL 15
74 OVR — Madden NFL 16
His final recorded rating on MaddenRatings.net is 74 overall in Madden NFL 16, when he was listed with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
The decline from 93 in Madden NFL 12 to 74 in Madden NFL 16 illustrates the later stages of his Madden career.
