The NFL player launch-date ratings for EA Sports' latest installment of its football video game franchise, Madden NFL 20, were made available on Monday morning. The game is scheduled for release on August 2 with a special edition version becoming available three days earlier.
Three San Francisco 49ers received game ratings of 90-or-above. They are cornerback Richard Sherman, who is the team's highest-rated player, tight end George Kittle, and tackle Joe Staley.
Quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo received a rating of 78, which ranks No. 21 among NFL quarterbacks in the game and is the third-highest rating among NFC West signal-callers. Only Arizona Cardinals rookie Kyler Murray had a rating lower than Garoppolo's among the quarterbacks within the division.
Sherman is the league's third-highest graded cornerback while Kittle is the fourth-highest graded tight end. First-year Niner, Jason Verrett, is the team's second-highest graded cornerback. Robbie Gould, who on Monday signed a new multi-year contract with the 49ers, is listed as the league's second-best kicker behind Justin Tucker of the Baltimore Ravens.
The game has Tevin Coleman listed as San Francisco's highest-graded running back (other than fullback Kyle Juszczyk) and Marquise Goodwin as its highest-graded wide receiver.
