Share this article

Autumn is a great time of year, not because the leaves start falling off the trees, but because EA Sports gear up for the release of their new titles, like Madden 18.

Ahead of Madden's release on August 25, EA have released the player ratings for key positions in the game.

It may be his 40th birthday today, but cover star and all time NFL legend Tom Brady is rated as the game's best player with a rating of 99.

Green Bay Packers QB Aaron Rodgers comes in next at 98.

In terms of running backs, Le'Veon Bell tops the charts with a rating of 97, and unsurprisingly after his incredible post-season performance last year,  the Atlanta Falcons' Julio Jones tops the wide receiver list, with a rating of 98.

A new gameplay mode has been added called Longshot and features Oscar-winning actor Mahershala Ali, who is famous for his role in movie Moonlight.
