Is there a 99 overall in Madden 23 Ultimate Team?
Yes, Madden 23 currently contains 4 players with the prestigious 99 overall rating – Davante Adams, Myles Garrett, Aaron Donald, and Cooper Kupp. These gridiron superstars comprise the elite "99 Club" in Madden NFL 23.
As a hardcore Madden gamer, I couldn‘t wait to see who would earn the coveted 99 OVR honor this year. Let‘s dive in-depth on this exclusive group of game-changing playmakers:
MUT 23‘s Current 99 Overall Players
Davante Adams (WR – Raiders)
After his blockbuster trade to Las Vegas this offseason, All-Pro receiver Davante Adams retains his 99 OVR crown as the clear-cut best WR option. With elite route-running (99) and spectacular catch (98) ratings under the hood, Adams simply manhandles digital DBs snap after snap. Also armed with the unstoppable "Mossed" X-Factor ability, landing Adams in MUT sets your squad up to dominate opponents through the air.
Myles Garrett (DE – Browns)
The Browns‘ beastly bookend Myles Garrett terrorizes virtual QBs with an NFL-best 99 power move rating and 91 finesse move. His speed (89) and acceleration (95) are phenomenal for a hulking 6‘4" 272 lbs D-lineman too. The "Unstoppable Force" X-Factor boosts Garrett‘s counter and swim move pass rush wins even further as he lives in the offensive backfield game after game.
Aaron Donald (DT – Rams)
Perennial All-Pro Aaron Donald is the undisputed #1 interior defensive lineman for the 3rd straight year thanks to a peerless blend of power (99), finesse moves (97), and block shedding (96). QBs simply have nowhere to hide from AD‘s instant block destructions with his "Fearmonger" X-Factor causing additional O-line breakdowns every snap. Good luck running or passing against this unblockable beast in Madden 23!
Cooper Kupp (WR – Rams)
After claiming Super Bowl MVP honors along with the NFL‘s triple crown for receptions, yards, and TDs, precise route technician Cooper Kupp joins teammate Donald with a 99 OVR. With 96 speed, 99 catch, and 97 spectacular catch ratings packaged with the "Double Me" X-Factor boost, Kupp wins vs. coverage relentlessly as he did throughout his historic 2021 season. No corner can contain him!
