The release of EA Sports’ Madden NFL 27 means that we’re that much closer to football season. The video game will be made available Aug. 13 with pre-orders are available and early access on Aug. 6 and 10.

EA Sports released its player ratings Wednesday and this is where the football world really gets to chirping. It’s where the talks of bragging rights for who’s the best player really get brewing between the athletes and fans alike.

Six players had a 99 rating, but none of them were members of the San Francisco 49ers. Instead the 49ers’ division rivals, the Los Angeles Rams, had a couple players atop the list as quarterback Matthew Stafford and newly acquired edge rusher Myles Garrett were given 99 ratings. The other signal caller in the league to be rated 99 is Buffalo Bills‘ Josh Allen.

Making the 99 list was Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba. He is the top-rated receiver in NFC, according to Madden NFL 27. Cincinnati Bengals receiver Jamarr Chase is only other wideout with a 99 rating.

Madden NFL 27 says that Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride is the best at his position, giving him a 99 rating.

Although there weren’t any 49ers players rated 99, they still have some of the best players in the league, according to their Madden ratings. Here’s a look at the San Francisco 49ers player ratings and leading attributes.
