EA Sports Angered Quite a Few NFL Players With ‘Madden 20’ Ratings

NFL: Jacksonville Jaguars at New York Giants

Antonio Brown, Raiders WR

Antonio Brown didn’t voice his displeasure with EA Sports by doing an interview or tweeting about the ratings. But there have been multiple reports about the new Raiders wideout being upset with his rating. The funny thing about it is that Brown didn’t wait until the full ratings came out to get upset. Instead, he was already assuming he wasn’t going to like his rating.

Before the full list of ratings came out, EA Sports released which handful of players were getting a 99 overall rating this year. Antonio Brown was upset to not find himself on the list. However, when the full rankings came out, Brown would find out he got a 98, rather than a 99. Either way, it didn’t matter. He still wants to complain. Usually I’d take the players side instead of EA, but in this case, I won’t. 98 is way better than most, AB.

Tyrann Mathieu, Chiefs S

Tyrann Mathieu had multiple complaints about this year’s rankings, but the funny thing is that none of them had to do with him. Mathieu wasn’t happy to see how Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson ranked. He said, “Wilson should never be under a 90. Period.”

But to be honest, I’m a bit confused. Wilson ended up with a 91 overall, so Mathieu must’ve gotten some bad information, or misread the ratings. Or perhaps he was talking about speed, which Wilson ranked as an 86? I’m not sure. Either way, the Chiefs new safety was not happy.
