A peek at Chargers Player Ratings in Madden 25

Yes. It is that time of the year once again.

You know, that time when you yell at your significant other about her keeping all receipts except yours. Only to eventually find the GameStop Reserve receipt inside of the most recent game you bought, behind the booklet.

That's just me? Oh, ok, well.

Madden 25 drops tomorrow. But us Madden-Lifers will be up until 11:50pm tonight playing the last of either NCAA 14 or Madden 13, then head down to GameStop for the midnight release of the game.

If you don't want a spoiler in regard to Chargers' Offensive Player ratings, I'd recommend you stop reading now.

Notable Offensive Players

QB Philip Rivers

• Short Pass Accuracy: 87
• Medium Pass Accuracy: 79
• Deep Pass Accuracy: 80
• Play Action: 82
• Throw on the Run: 75

(Funny: 50 rating on spin move, which should be closer to the teens)

Sorensen got a 91 throw power rating. He throws harder than Philip Rivers? Doubt it.

RB Ryan Mathews

• Overall: 82
• Speed: 91
• Agility: 90 (I saw you frown, Shepherd)
• Awareness: 75

Despite his solid play in real life, do not keep him in to block on third down. Keep him spread out. He has a 25 PBK rating and 24 PBK footwork rating

WR Malcom Floyd

• Overall: 81
• Speed: 87
• Agility: 85

(Funny: 40 Elusiveness Rating.) Malcom Floyd should be available to play for the Chargers upon purchase.

TE Antonio Gates

For your sake, you better hope Madden 25 hasn't added a way to run a 3 man bracket coverage.

RT D.J. Fluker

• Overall: 78
• Strength: 89 (short changed)
• Run Blocking: 93 (my god)
• Pass Blocking: 76
• Stamina: 85
• Toughness: 77 (short changed)
• Run Blocking Strength: 94
• Run Blocking Footwork: 89

Basically keep an off tackle, blast or counter right in your audibles. Running behind him should net you an easy 5-7 yards.

Will San Diego's Playbook feature the Snugs Package that was in Arizona's Book in Madden 13? Can you lead the Chargers to a Super Bowl in your respective franchises? Will you be calling in tomorrow morning to get extra lab time in? Weigh in, in the comments below.
