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.
Here are the top-rated players at every position in Madden with the ratings rolling out.

Here's the release schedule for the position groups this week:
- Monday, July 17: Wide receivers

- Wednesday, July 19: Running backs
- Thursday, July 20: Cornerbacks

Justin Jefferson
Unsurprisingly, Justin Jefferson was announced Monday as the first player of the 99 Club. He led the league in 2022 with 128 receptions for 1,809 yards, 28 catches of 20-plus yards and 80 receptions for first downs.
Aaron Donald
Aaron Donald on Tuesday was announced as the second member of the 99 Club — his seventh, most all time among any player in Madden franchise history. Donald missed six games in 2022, racking up five sacks and 11 QB hits. His consistent dominance helped him earn the record-breaking nod:
