While certain circles of gamers are anxiously awaiting midnight releases of Madden NFL 10, real life NFL star T. J. Houshmandzadeh won't be playing it.

Houshmandzadeh told ESPN Radio show on Monday, ""I just looked at the game and they have this wrong and that wrong. And I understand I averaged 10 yards a catch, but it's the offense, man, not me." Houshmandzadeh is currently ranked 6th for wide receivers with a rating of 91.

"I'm not playing Madden no more, until they get my rating right," Houshmandzadeh said. "It might be a little pouting, too. It might be. But, you know, I used to be the best in the world at Madden, so I'm going to miss not playing it. But until they do me right, I'm not playing it no more."
