One of the biggest things we hear from EA Sports about the new Madden 16 release is that it will bring a greater level of realism across a collection of new Madden 16 features coming this year.

The Madden 16 release date is August 25th, with an early release on Xbox One through EA access on August 23rd. Madden 16 arrives on PS4, Xbox One, PS3 and Xbox 360 on the same day.

Here are the important Madden 16 ratings details you need to know now.

Madden 16 Ratings Release Date

Count on the first Madden 16 ratings release in about two weeks.

The Madden 16 ratings release date is likely coming in two and a half weeks. Last year we saw the first Madden player ratings arrive on July 21st. This was a Monday, so there is a very good chance EA Sports will announce the Madden 16 ratings for rookies on July 20th or July 21st this year.

If EA sticks true to form, you will be able to see the top 10 Madden 16 ratings for rookies around this time and download a spreadsheet of all Madden 16 rookie ratings.

Over the next two weeks EA Sports will release one or two more Madden 16 player ratings roundups each day to deliver a full breakdown of the best Madden 16 player ratings by category. For these Madden 16 ratings you can expect a look at the absolute best, but not a full player-by-player breakdown like we see with rookies.

Madden 16 Team Ratings Release Date

As we move into early August you can count on Madden 16 team breakdowns that focus on the overall rating for each of the teams. EA Sports traditionally breaks this down by division and includes the top four players on each team as part of the highlight.

Madden 16 ratings impact how you play and how good your team is against opponents.

If you don’t see your favorite player listed on the individual Madden 16 player ratings, you may find them on this listing. Expect to see the East, West, North and South listed during a span of four days in early August.

The next major Madden 16 ratings update will likely come a few days before the Madden 16 release date, to catch up with the fluctuations that happen as players prove themselves in preseason games.

Major Change for Madden 16 Player Ratings

The Madden 16 release date brings the end to the 16 year run of Donny Moore’s influence over the Madden ratings. Moore announced on Twitter that he is retiring from his role at EA Sports as the Madden Ratings Czar.

Moore is responsible for the Madden 16 ratings, according to Polygon. Going forward the team he leaves behind at EA Sports will use the same tools and methodology to deliver weekly Madden 16 player ratings updates throughout the season and into future versions of Madden.
