Madden 20 Player Ratings: EA Reveals All 32 Teams & Their Players’ Ratings
As of Monday (July 15), EA Sports has revealed their full Madden 20 player ratings. They arrive after the exclusive 99 Club was revealed across last week, with DeAndre Hopkins as the only player from offense. Three others joined him in the group with the best rating in the game, as defensive stars Aaron Donald, Bobby Wagner, and Khalil Mack all carry 99 ratings. How about the rest of the star players in the game, though? Gamers can now dissect who barely missed the 99 Club, who may be underrated, and who may be overrated.
Madden 20 Player ratings: Three NFL stars barely missed 99 Club
As Amazon’s Prime Day sale for pre-order copies is underway, gamers are now seeing how Madden 20 player ratings look. One of the big takeaways so far, is the three players who are just below that 99 Club. They are last year’s cover athlete Antonio Brown (now with Oakland), Carolina Panthers defensive star Luke Kuechly, and Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones. Each of these players scored a 98 overall rating, putting them right near the cusp of greatness.
For Brown, it’s a drop by a point from where he was in last year’s game. The cover star was part of the seven member 99 Club for Madden 20. That said, he’s got a full season ahead as do other former members, and players who are near that top level.
Some fans believed that the Madden 20 player ratings for the game’s cover athlete would mean he scored a 99 overall. Instead, the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback is a 97 heading into the new game and season. Patrick Mahomes will have to show he’s capable of continuing to exceed expectations in the 2019-20 campaign.
Mahomes is joined by Rams running back Todd Gurley, Broncos linebacker Von Miller, Texans left end JJ Watt, and Packers left tackle David Bakhtiari. Just below them is a group of six players rated at a 96 overall including the Super Bowl MVP Tom Brady. He was also included in last year’s 99 Club, but time has caught up with his abilities, maybe.
Brady is joined by Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and the new Browns receiver Odell Beckham Jr as offensive players with a 96. For the defense, the Jaguars’ Jalen Ramsey, Cowboys’ Zack Martin, and Eagles’ Fletcher Cox all scored the same rating.
