Madden NFL 26 Reveals Who is in the 99 Club

On July 28th, EA Sports disclosed that seven exceptional NFL players have been inducted into the exclusive “99 Club” in Madden NFL 26, a recognition given to individuals who boast a 99 overall rating within this well-known sports video game. In addition to Madden NFL 26’s cover athlete, Saquon Barkley, this year’s 99 Club members also consist of star offensive players such as Josh Allen from the Bills and Justin Jefferson from the Vikings.

In past announcements, EA Sports has shared plans for a revamp of the fan-favorite Superstar Mode within Madden NFL 26. This transformation is centered around three main aspects: Career Chapters break down a player’s career into manageable segments, the Inner Circle lets players cultivate bonds with teammates and coaches, and Game Day Beats presents exclusive challenges throughout gameplay. Superstar Mode provides an option for players to incorporate a custom character from EA Sports College Football 26 into their football journey, or they can start fresh by creating a new character if they prefer.

Prior to the release of Madden NFL 26, the highly anticipated football simulation game unveiled its top seven players rated in the upcoming version. In a brief video, both the NFL and EA Sports announced that Saquon Barkley, the cover athlete for Madden NFL 26, is part of the prestigious 99 Club, thanks to his exceptional awareness and elusive tackle-avoidance skills. The 99 Club is a special distinction awarded to NFL athletes who receive an overall rating of 99 in Madden NFL during a particular year. Additionally, Barkley’s teammate, Eagles right tackle Lane Johnson, has also been inducted into the 99 Club for his outstanding ability to thwart aggressive blitzes on passing downs. Lastly, Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson reclaims his spot in the 99 Club for a third time in his professional football career, having started with a rating of 98 in Madden NFL 25.
