The Madden NFL 2023 ratings are slowly pouring out, giving fans a chance to examine and debate what the game got right -- and what it got wrong -- with their favorite teams. 

With EA Sports releasing new position groups ratings before the launch date of the game, we get a chance to examine how teams will stack up on the NFL's premier video game ahead of its release. 

The latest ratings to be released are for wide receivers and tight ends; two position groups that have a lot of attention drawn to them in Jacksonville in 2022.

"Well, think every position is a priority. But for us, looking at where we currently stand and where we are, you know that was an area that we wanted to address," Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson said about the wide receiver position in March after the Jaguars signed Christian Kirk and Zay Jones in free agency. 

"And so, receiver happened to be kind of the top of the list, you know, for us. And again, as Trent mentioned, you know, it's the evaluation process to and getting in here with the coaching staff and with the personnel department and really, you know, narrowing our search down, you know, to the list that we had. And we're excited."

So, what does Madden '23 think of the Jaguars receivers and tight ends?
