As the 2019 NFL season approaches, so does the annual release of EA Sports’ Madden video game. On Monday, EA revealed the ratings for each team’s rookie draft class in Madden 20, and as someone who has played every version since Madden NFL 98, I found the ratings surprising.
It seems like they’ve toned down the early high ratings for rookies, as the highest-rated in the league is New York Jets’ DT Quinnen Williams (80 overall). In Madden 19, more than five rookies started the season with a rating 80 overall or better, so expect a more realistic feel in this year’s version.
