The anticipation for the upcoming Madden 23 has reached an all-time high throughout the pre-release period. The recently revealed top 10 QBs ratings encouraged heated conversations on social media about the gridiron game. Although this year’s ratings have confused everyone, even Patrick Mahomes has come forward to express his displeasure regarding his rating.

The Madden 23 player rankings are now official. But the game developers kept the most expected positions for the conclusion to maintain the hype. The QB rankings have witnessed an evolution all these years. However, this year’s QB ratings are causing an explosion on social media, and not in a good way. The veterans have taken over the youngbloods in this year’s game, as Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers stand first and second, respectively.

The ratings went wrong?

Patrick Mahomes, who was in the 99’s Club last year, faces a drastic shift in his rating. As per Madden Ratings, the Kansas City Chiefs QB scores a 95 in Madden 23 ratings. It certainly looks like a slight setback for Mahomes, who was the poster boy alongside Tom Brady for the Madden 22 cover. Josh Allen and Joe Burrow followed the Chiefs QB to round off the top five in QB rankings for Madden 23.

Irrespective of the overall ratings this year, Mahomes’ speed is unavoidable. He also exclaimed how fast he was — 84. “I’m trying to get that speed to 90. I’m going to have a few more runs this year and try to get that speed to 90,” he concluded.
