Madden 23 Cover Star Revealed

EA Sports released the cover of Madden NFL 23 and for the first time in forever, it's a choice everyone agrees with. Legendary coach, figure, and namesake of the brand John who passed away in 2021 is this year's cover star. The legendary Raiders' coach helped revolutionize the game and his .759 win record remains one of the best of all time for an NFL coach.

Madden 23 Rookie Rating Predictions

The 2022 NFL Draft kicked off this evening, ushering in a new class of rookies. For Madden, this represents a new group of players that we’ll soon get to control in Madden 23. This is one of the deepest drafts in recent memory, and no clear gap in talent. It would be nearly impossible to predict every first-round draftee’s rating in Madden 23. Although, here’s who we can expect to see in the top five and their projected ratings. 1 – Aidan Hutchinson (82) – Detroit Lions   Aidan Hutchinson is considered by most to be the best all-around talent in the entire draft. In fact, he likely would’ve gone first overall had it not been for the late push for Georgia’s Travon Walker. Regardless, we think that Madden 23 will recognize Hutchinson’s All-Pro traits and give him the best Madden 23 rookie ratings with an 82 OVR . 2 – Ahmad “Sauce” Gardner (80) – New York Jets   Similar to last year, I expect one of the top Madden 23 rookie ratings will be handed out to a cornerback, especially when

One of the best things about games like Madden that come out once a year is that fans don’t have to wait too long. Last year, the official Madden 22 trailer arrived in mid-June, June 17th to be exact. The Madden 21 trailer arrived around the same time in 2020. So barring a major change, you can expect the first Madden 23 announcements to come sometime in June. But the official release date is not confirmed for Madden 23, and the expected date is most likely right because it always comes before or nearly the NFL season. So the same is expected and that’s why August is chosen to release Madden, which is a few weeks before the start of NFL that mostly starts at the end of August or starting of September. So if we see it make
