Let the discourse begin!
Madden 24 already has a release date set for Aug. 18, but there is so much to talk about in the next month.
One of the main points of conversation is and always will be player ratings. Who belongs in the 99 club (besides Patrick Mahomes)? Who is overrated? Who is underrated? And will your favorite team be fun to play as?
We’re finally getting those answers with the ratings rollout. Players are known to have some strong reactions to their ratings, so make no mistake, they care. That’s not to say fans should too, but in the dog days of the NFL offseason, it’s something to talk about.
