Madden 25 Drops New Ratings Update Ahead of Conference Round

The brand-new Madden 25 Roster Update has been released just before the NFL Conference Championship games this weekend, primarily tweaking player scores. This time around, the adjustments center on teams that advanced to the Divisional Round of the NFL Playoffs. It’s important to note that these updates don’t typically bring about any changes in gameplay. Rather, they take into account injuries, player performances, free agent signings, roster cuts, and other factors. So, let’s get started!

Madden 25 Player Ratings For NFL Conference Championship Round

Overall, the most notable player ratings in this new Madden 25 Roster Update include:

  • Jahmyr Gibbs, Detroit Lions – 93 OVR (+1)

Jahmyr Gibbs is officially a Top 5 RB at 93 OVR in #Madden25

Although the Lions’ season has come to an end, it was a remarkable year for running back Gibbs. Sharing the majority of carries with David Montgomery throughout the season, Gibbs still managed to rack up more than 1,900 yards from scrimmage and score 20 total touchdowns by the end of the year. In the disappointing divisional game against the Commanders, Gibbs impressed with 175 yards and two touchdowns after receiving 20 touches. We eagerly anticipate his progress in Year 3.

Jalen Carter, Philadelphia Eagles – 87 OVR (+1)

Last week, Carter prevented a thrilling comeback by L.A.’s team, by sacking QB Matthew Stafford at a crucial moment during a 3rd & 2, which turned into 4th & 12. Carter managed to secure two sacks in total, even though he was frequently faced with being double-teamed. Unfortunately, he hasn’t repeated his spectacular one-armed lift of Jayden Daniels yet. Luckily for him, the Eagles are up against the Commanders this coming weekend.

  • Jared Verse, Los Angeles Rams – 86 OVR (+2)

Jared Verse’s exceptional DROY campaign didn’t culminate in a Super Bowl victory, but he managed to register two sacks in his last game of the season against the Eagles. The Rams’ defensive line was particularly formidable, especially during the playoffs. As a collective, they accumulated an impressive 16 sacks over just two games (nine against MIN and seven against PHI). We anticipate Verse will surpass these numbers in 2025.

  • Jayden Daniels, Washington Commanders – 85 OVR (+1)

To conclude, Jayden Daniels experiences an improvement, raising his OVR to 85. What makes Daniels stand out among other beginning quarterbacks is his composed and self-assured demeanor, which seems more fitting for someone who’s already established in the league. Additionally, Washington boasts a robust roster and skilled coaching staff, both of which have played a significant role in Daniels’ growth. Could Daniels propel himself even further this rookie season, perhaps earning a spot in the Super Bowl?

Furthermore, several other players received a nice OVR boost this week:

  • Brian Branch – 89 OVR (+1)
  • Dion Dawkins – 88 OVR (+2)
  • Will Anderson Jr. – 88 OVR (+1)
  • Puka Nacua – 88 OVR (+1)
  • Kyren Williams – 87 OVR (+1)
  • Drue Tranquill – 84 OVR (+3)
  • Jeremy Chinn – 83 OVR (+1)

However, other players saw a decrease to their OVR following the latest update

  • Josh Jacobs – 92 OVR (-1)
  • DeVonta Smith – 87 OVR (-1)
  • DeMarcus Lawrence – 87 OVR (-1)
  • Isaiah Pacheco – 86 OVR (-1)
  • Tyron Smith – 86 OVR (-1)

Discussing the current situation, let’s talk about the updated Madden 25 Ratings for the Conference Championship Round. It’s intriguing to ponder why Philadelphia Eagles’ Running Back, Saquon Barkley, hasn’t reached a 99 Overall Value Rating (OVR) yet. Our reasoning is that if Derrick Henry has made it to the elite 99 OVR club, then surely Barkley deserves a spot too. However, we can imagine that Henry would gladly give up that position for an opportunity to compete in the AFC Championship game.

Despite that, we can’t wait for the upcoming adjustments in Madden 25 player rankings. Meanwhile, don’t forget to explore our collection of Madden 25 guides covering various aspects such as passing, catching, kicking, and beyond!
