Madden 23 and EA SPORTS set up a Ratings Adjustor hotline for players to complain about this year’s ratings, which got thousands of calls in just one day.
Madden has served as the most popular football sim in the gaming space for over 20 years now.
As in each iteration of the game named after the legendary NFL coach, player ratings are adjusted to reflect their performance in the previous season accurately.
With Madden 23 just around the corner, the gaming franchise has released a phone number fans can call and complain about a specific player’s ratings in the game.
