A bunch of NFL players are not happy about their ratings in 'Madden 20' - see their reactions
While some players have asked EA's staff to give them a slight boost, San Diego Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen said he's giving up on the game after seeing his ratings this year. Allen was rated an 89 overall, placing him among the league's top 15 wideouts. However, Allen disputed a number of his specific attributes, including his speed and strength.
All-Pro wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins was one of four players to receive a 99 overall rating, the highest possible score for a "Madden" player. He explained that being among the best players in the video game would mean more to his kids than making the NFL All-Pro team, which he accomplished during the past two seasons.
