MADDEN NFL 20 UPDATE- Added Deandre Hopkins News & Stats
Original Story – The Madden 20 release date is less than a month away and things are starting to kick into gear as we approach the game's launch.
That means we've got plenty of player ratings to look forward to. Already EA Sports dev team has revealed plenty of rookie ratings, which is all well and good, but to be honest, the ratings which fans and professionals have got one eye on, is the 99 club.
WHAT IS THE MADDEN 99 CLUB?
Rather than paraphrase EA Sports, here's how they describe the exclusive overall players club:
The Madden 99 Club is an exclusive tier of NFL talent that represents the highest level of video game prestige, reserved solely for earned and maintained excellence on the field. A 99 OVR is the maximum possible rating in Madden, and 99 Club status elevates a handful of players above even the most skilled superstars in the league.
So there you go, basically, you're looking at the best of the best when the game launches on August 2, 2019.
Last night EA Sports unveiled the very first 99 club member (more on that below) and will continue to reveal more players all week. EA has already teased that the updated list looks "a bit different" to those players chosen last season.
We've detailed which players made it last season at the bottom of the page, but for now, let's look at who's made the 99 club in Madden 20, including one of our personal favourites from the Los Angeles Rams.
Who is in the Madden 20 99 Club?
DEANDRE HOPKINS
Houston Texans
WR | #10
Height | 61”
Weight | 215 lbs
College | Clemson
Exp | 7th season
Brace yourself. DeAndre Hopkins is going to be virtually unstoppable in Madden NFL 20.
Following his second-straight First Team All-Pro nod, and yet another season of insane statistical output, Hopkins has earned the honor of being the only offensive player in the Madden 99 Club at launch.
Plus, Hopkins is a Superstar X-Factor with a zone ability called Double Me. When he enters the zone, Hopkins ability increases his success rate on aggressive catches against single coverage. The guy has baseball mitts for hands, and hes always open. Just throw the ball in his general vicinity in Madden 20, and Nuk will come down with it.
Hopkins Ratings Highlights[hhmc]- 99 Catching – Best in Madden 20
- 99 Jumping – Best in Madden 20
- 99 Spectacular Catch – Best in Madden 20
- 99 Catch In Traffic – Best in Madden 20
- 99 Release – Best in Madden 20
Theres no debate here. Hopkins is far and away the best WR in Madden 20.
When we spoke to DeAndre Hopkins last summer about his Madden ratings, he was feeling a bit underrated with a 94 OVR at launch. This should squash any lingering beefs with our Madden Ratings Adjustors and serve as the definitive confirmation that Hopkins is the best in all the land at his craft.

KHALIL MACK
Chicago Bears
LOLB | #52
Height | 63”
Weight | 252 lbs
College | Buffalo
Exp | 6th season
We all witnessed first-hand what the addition of a 99 Club-caliber player like Khalil Mack can do for an entire defensive unit. When the Chicago Bears acquired Mack from the Raiders last season, he changed the face of the NFC North, and became the foundation of Chicagos defensive front.
In his first game as a Bear, Mack went off, forcing two crucial turnovers, including a strip-sack, and logged a 30-yard pick-six scramble, all in the first half. He finished the 2018 campaign with 12.5 sacks and six forced fumbles.
Mack's Ratings Highlights[hhmc]- 97 Power Moves
- 95 Pursuit
- 94 Tackle
- 94 Jumping
Like a lion hunting his prey, if you lose sight of Mack after the snap in Madden 20, it's already too late. Elite pass rushers like Mack are a mix of strength, speed, and tenacity. His zone ability called Unstoppable Force highlights what makes Mack a true Monster of the Midway. When he enters the zone, his ability increases win rate and block shed speed against one-on-one pass blocks
The best MLB in the NFL, Bobby Wagner is the 2nd member of the Madden 20 99 Club! (Pic: EA SPORTS)
BOBBY WAGNER
Seattle Seahawks
MLB | #54
Height | 60”
Weight | 242 lbs
College | Utah State
Exp | 8th season
Bobby Wagner is an elite and versatile defender and is arguably the most well-rounded linebacker in the league. Wagner is a beast against the run, dominant in pass coverage, is one of the leagues premiere pass-rushing linebackers, and is hands down the best tackler in the NFL. Wagner doesnt miss tackles either, as hes only logged 13 missed tackles over the last three seasons.Read More – Source
