Yet again, official Madden NFL ratings have sent the sporting world into a frenzy. It’s almost tradition at this point — fans endlessly go back and forth regarding some numbers that Electronic Arts (EA) came up with as if it were ancient stone tablet etchings that everyone must agree with.
Nuts to that, we say.
In fairness, most of Madden NFL 23‘s rankings weren’t terribly off the mark. The highest-rated quarterbacks, wide receivers, edge rushers, running backs, cornerbacks, and defensive linemen were fine, as were the 99 club member additions and overall team stats. However, as is always the case, some ratings were questionable, missing, or downright controversial. At least in our opinion.
