Madden NFL 23 ratings, rankings
The beginning of training camps for most NFL groups is only a week away. After a brief break, football is returned in the consciousness of the sports fan … if it ever really left as well as with it comes the preparation for the latest Madden video game. But this year’s game, which will be released Aug. 19, is a little bit special.
After the death of the series’ namesake, Hall of Fame coach John Madden, on Dec. 28, 2021, and EA Sports’ decision to put Madden on the cover, there’s a feeling of legacy around the game this year.
However, Madden always need the game to be about football and to approximate the reality of the sport he loved to coach, teach and talk about as closely as it could.
He was the one who pushed for it to be 11-on-11 at the outset. He was the one who was still included in aspects of the video game up until his death.
As the game increased in the zeitgeist of American culture, certain aspects stood out over others.
Ratings matter to players. They’ll complain on social media about their rating and sometimes ask questions to those who are doing it. The Madden team has an entire crew dedicated to adjusting ratings via the year. It’s a big deal.
Besides, with that in mind, here’s a breakdown of the initial ratings at the start of Madden 23, some top players at each position and the annual 99 club, which has turned into an honor around the sport. We’ll roll out more places each day this week:
