Alright, so, I was messing around with Madden the other day, as one does, and I got curious about DeVante Parker’s rating. You know, the wide receiver, used to be with the Dolphins, then the Patriots, now he’s chilling in free agency. Anyway, I wanted to see how the game developers rated him compared to some other players.
First, I fired up the game and checked the latest roster update. I’m a bit of a stickler for having the most up-to-date stats, even though it probably doesn’t make that much of a difference. Gotta have those accurate numbers, right? Once everything was set, I navigated to the player ratings section. It’s kinda buried in the menus, but I’ve done this enough times to know my way around.
I started by looking up DeVante Parker. In Madden 25, his overall rating is an 82. Not too shabby, but also not elite. Then I started comparing him to some of his teammates or former teammates in the Patriots. Nelson Agholor was right there with him at 81, Kendrick Bourne also at 81, and Jakobi Meyers at 80. Seems like the game sees them as pretty similar in terms of overall ability.
- DeVante Parker: 82 Overall
- Nelson Agholor: 81 Overall
- Kendrick Bourne: 81 Overall
- Jakobi Meyers: 80 Overall
But here’s where it gets interesting. I dug into the individual attributes. Meyers has the best catching rating among them, coming in at a solid 90. Parker, on the other hand, leads the pack in awareness with an 84. And Bourne? That dude’s got some serious agility, boasting a 93 in that category. So, even though their overall ratings are close, they each bring something different to the table. Or, you know, to the virtual field.
After that, I got a little sidetracked and started browsing through the top-rated players in the whole game. You know that Madden rating list always sparks debates among fans. They had Parker ranked as the 50th best pass-catcher. I was surprised to see that he was ranked 50th, which honestly isn’t too bad, all things considered.
Lastly, I wandered over to some online forums where people were discussing the Madden ratings, and, oh boy, it was a wild ride. Let’s just say, people have some strong opinions about these ratings. I even stumbled upon a leaderboard for some Madden player, these top 5 players had impressive scores, like, over a million!
Conclusion of This Madden Rating Journey
It was a fun little exercise, diving into these ratings. I guess it shows you that even players with similar overall ratings can have very different strengths and weaknesses. And it definitely confirmed that people take these Madden ratings way too seriously! It is really interesting to me!
