A record-tying, nearly flawless season

Neil Rackers took a while to find his footing and then put together one of the great kicking seasons ever, making forty field goals in 2005 while missing only two, tying the single-season record for makes. The Illinois product was suddenly automatic in Arizona.

Madden had him at 77 and spiked him to a 97 by the 2006 edition, off that historic year. He kicked a long time after, but 2005 is the season the number honors.

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.
