Madden 23 Ratings: Patrick Mahomes leads latest EA ratings update


The new Madden 23 ratings update was revealed today and we're going to take a look at some of the biggest movers.

Patrick Mahomes is working his way back to the 99 Club with his updated ratings but a popular quarterback has actually taken a step back.

Let's go over some of these newly updated ratings.

Madden 23 Ratings Update

Each week, EA puts together a Madden 23 ratings update that reflects how the players performed during the weekend.

This time, the update is for Week 4 and several players had their ratings changed. One of the most notable is of course, Patrick Mahomes.

Mahomes is only a few points away from getting back into the 99 Club and after his Week 4 performance (249 yards, 3 touchdowns), we could see him back in the club over the next few months.

He wasn't the only player that received a significant bump during the Madden 23 ratings update, so let's take a look at some others.
