Headlining the quarterbacks is another 99 Club member and a defending Super Bowl Champion. Kansas City Chiefs Patrick Mahomes will be the best quarterback in Madden NFL 25. The player received his own dive-throw animation in last year’s game, and while nothing similar has been announced yet, Mahomes will truly have an advantage as he seeks yet another rings in the current NFL dynasty.
The Five 99 Clubbers
There will be five members of the 99 Club this year that includes Mahomes, Christian McCaffrey, Travis Kelce, Trent Williams and Tyreek Hill. Four players are on the heels of this including Justin Jefferson, Micah Parsons, Myles Garrett and Lamar Jackson. Lamar will be the second best quarterback in Madden NFL 25, and then a steep drop off in ratings down to Cincinnati Bengals Joe Burrow coming in at a 93. Trent Willliams, who is the offensive tackle for the San Francisco 49ers, is the only member of the 99 Club without a Superstar X-Factor.
The Big Ratings Discussion
Players and fans have been very vocal about these ratings reveal for the game throughout this week. The quarterbacks will further push this discussion as Josh Allen at a 92 is the cap on the first four quarterbacks with Superstar X-Factors. Dak Prescott is the first quarterback in the ratings to not have a X-Factor as he clocks in at 90. The next few ratings get really murky with Tua Tagovailoa at an 88, Justin Herber at an 87, Jalen Hurts at an 86 (has a Superstar X-Factor), and Brock Purdy at an 84. Here’s the big surprise: CJ Stroud comes in at only an 81.
