If you want to dominate your opponents in “Madden NFL 20,” you might want to choose a team other than the New England Patriots.
The defending Super Bowl champions are good, of course, but they certainly don’t have as much high-end talent as some other teams — according to EA Sports, at least.
The player ratings for “Madden 20” were released Monday, and the Patriots only have two players — Tom Brady and Stephon Gilmore — who scored overall ratings of 90 or higher. Bill Belichick’s roster does feature 17 players with 80-plus ratings, but the digital Patriots nevertheless lack the highly rated, game-breaking players that attract gamers.
Take a look:
Here are the #Madden20 ratings for every @Patriots player.
Brady (96) and Gilmore (94) only guys in the 90-plus club. Edelman and McCourty both got 89, while Shaq Mason scored an 88.
Still not sure how Shilique Calhoun only got a 68, but that's a conversation for another day. pic.twitter.com/LXj6qZoBfs

Now, EA Sports updates the ratings throughout the season, and there’s a good chance the Patriots will be a “Madden” juggernaut by December.
However, when the game launches Aug. 2, you might want to roll with the Kansas City Chiefs or Los Angeles Rams, who have four and three 90-plus rate players, respectively.
