\"\"<\/p>\n

All of the NFL players in Madden NFL 23 have ratings and you can freely look at them on EA’s official site<\/a>. Is Kenny Pickett ranked high enough at a 68? If you don’t think so, you can call into Madden NFL’s ratings adjustor hotline (at 689-278-3030) to recommend it go up or down. Thousands of people called in within the first day of the hotline launching, and from EA’s snarky Twitter tone, it would appear most of them are complaints, likely about a beloved players rating being too low or a hated players rating being too high.<\/p>\n

\n

Shoutout to the thousands of fans who called into the #Madden23<\/a> Ratings Hotline yesterday to let us know they \ud835\udcd0\ud835\udcd6\ud835\udce1\ud835\udcd4\ud835\udcd4 with our ratings\u260e\ufe0f\ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

According to Emma Waldren, Madden\u2019s creator of content strategy and partnerships, over 1,000 people called in within just six hours.<\/p>\n

\n

1000 of you called the #Madden23<\/a> #RatingsAdjustor<\/a> hotline in the first six hours \ud83e\udd2f<\/p>\n

\u2014 Emma Waldren (she\/her) (@emmalwaldren) July 29, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Some NFL players also got involved to joke around about the ratings, clearly with EA’s involvement.<\/p>\n

\n

Tell me why a #RatingsAdjustor<\/a> thinks I got no hands with the 72 catch rating…<\/p>\n

Yo @EAMaddenNFL<\/a> I\u2019m only heading into year 2 and you\u2019re already fleecing me on ratings!!<\/p>\n

The hotline is a fun way to interact with fans and draw attention to this year’s ratings. Is there a chance a fan called in with a legitimate change that needs to be made to a player’s rating? We’ll have to wait to see, but no matter what, I’d call the hotline a success as it brought out some laughs.<\/p>\n
