We’re so tantalizingly close to training camp, where tangible, meaningful football news will materialize. The pads will come on, the roster battles will play out, and the regular season hype train will leave the station. Until that glorious moment, apparently Madden player ratings matter.
On Monday, EA Sports announced the player ratings for each franchise ahead of the game’s August 2nd release. Naturally, Twitter users handled this information with trademark levelheadedness and grace, and there were no signs of homerism at all. While I do disagree with many of the ratings, I also don’t particularly care, and neither should anyone else.
