EA Sports is started releasing player ratings for “Madden NFL 22” on multiple ESPN platforms.
The action kicked started on ESPN at 12:30 p.m. ET on Sunday, July 25 with a Kickoff Special. Some of the first rookie ratings, as well as the ratings of random players, were revealed in the show.
Individual sets of posts will be announced after that, before the whole list is revealed. If the player ratings are anything like last year’s, they’ll be essentially the same as they were at the end of Madden 21.
EA Sports publishes initial ratings, but continues to update them throughout the year. After the Super Bowl, the final ratings update takes place. While ratings fluctuate from the end of one season to the start of the next, they are rarely dramatic.
The following is the complete ratings release schedule:
- Monday (July 26): Wide receivers
- Tuesday (July 27): Defensive linemen, edge rushers
- Wednesday (July 28): Running backs
- Thursday (July 29): Safeties
- Friday (July 30): Quarterbacks
The ratings will finish on Friday during a special edition of SportsCenter at 7:30 p.m. ET on ESPN. There, all of the final ratings will be revealed. In the past couple of years, EA Sports has released an online database of player ratings to make it easier to see everything.
Below, we’ll update the player ratings as they’re announced.
Madden 22 ratings
Throughout the week, ESPN and EA Sports will gradually release player ratings for Madden 22. During a special edition of SportsCenter on Friday at 7:30 p.m. ET, we’ll get the full list of player ratings.
99 overall players
Davante Adams
Aaron Donald
Travis Kelce
Each day, a member of the 99 Club will be released, according to EA Sports’ announcement of the player ratings.
Following that example, we predict there will be five players rated 99 overall (one for each day of the week).
There were six players in the 99 Club at the end of Madden 21. (99 is the highest overall rating Madden). Patrick Mahomes, Stephon Gilmore, Aaron Donald, Davante Adams, Travis Kelce, and DeAndre Hopkins were the players in question.
Tyreek Hill, Christian McCaffrey, Myles Garrett, and Zack Martin were among the four players that placed in the top 98. In the Madden 22 version of the 99 Club, we’re guessing a mix of those guys will be involved.
It will be fascinating to see whether Mahomes, Kelce, and Hill can form a 99 Club on the same squad. (Check below for update)
Davante Adams, a wide receiver for the Green Bay Packers, was the first player named to the 99 Club on Monday. DeAndre Hopkins is no longer a member of the 99 Club, since no other wide receivers achieved a perfect score.
On Tuesday, Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald was named the 99 Club’s newest member.
Travis Kelce, a tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, was named the 99 Club’s third member on Wednesday.
Top 10 overall players in Madden 22
Full player ratings won’t be released until Friday, but we just listed the top 10 players from the end of Madden 21. While there might be a few changes, we’d expect the bulk of those names to be included in the Top 10 for Madden 22.
