Scott Player was easy to spot behind his single-bar facemask and easy to trust behind his leg, a durable, dependable punter who rarely missed a game for the Cardinals. He combined solid distance with consistent placement.

Madden gave him 94s on the 2002 and 2004 cards, his Pro Bowl peak. A Pro Bowl in, he flipped the field for Arizona for nearly a decade.

How to read these: Each row is the player’s rating in that year’s Madden, listed by the NFL season it covers (Madden NFL 2001 = the 2000 season). Madden sets its ratings before the season is played, so they reflect the previous season’s performance - a player’s breakout year tends to show up as a jump in the following year’s game.

Note: Some Madden releases tracked fewer attributes than others. Cells shown as - were not published by EA that year.
