The Madden 24 player ratings have received their penultimate update before Super Bowl LVIII, and there's a new name etched into the coveted 99 Club: Christian McCaffrey! The Carolina Panthers running back's dominant season, where he surpassed 2,000 yards from scrimmage, earns him the ultimate in-game recognition. But McCaffrey isn't the only player celebrating a ratings bump. Several key playoff performers have seen their overall scores rise, reflecting their impact on the biggest stage.

McCaffrey Leads the Charge:

Christian McCaffrey's rise to the 99 Club is no surprise. He shouldered the offensive burden for the 49ers, racking up a whopping 339 touches in 16 games. Remarkably, he overcame his injury history to stay healthy all season. Now, with Brock Purdy under center, McCaffrey is the crucial cog in the 49ers' Super Bowl aspirations. His performance against the Lions, where he amassed 132 yards and two touchdowns in a thrilling comeback win, solidified his MVP-caliber season.

Defense Steps Up:

L'Jarius Sneed's forced fumble against Zay Flowers was a pivotal moment in the Chiefs' victory over the Ravens. Despite a strong Baltimore offensive start, Sneed and the Chief's defense tightened up, limiting the Ravens to just three points after their initial touchdown. His 90 OVR (+2) rating reflects his growing defensive prowess. Next week, he faces the formidable task of containing Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk, but his performance against Lamar Jackson shows he's ready for the challenge.

Other Notable Increases:

    Charvarius Ward – 91 OVR (+1)

    Justin Madubuike – 88 OVR (+1)

    Trent McDuffie – 88 OVR (+1)

    Kyle Hamilton – 88 OVR (+1)

    Brian Branch – 84 OVR (+1)

    Patrick Queen – 84 OVR (+1)

    Jameson Williams – 79 OVR (+1)

However, the player ratings update also brought about adjustments for some players who saw decreases in their Overall Ratings:

    Von Miller – 87 OVR (-1)

    Nick Bolton – 84 OVR (-1)

    C.J. Gardner Johnson – 84 OVR (-2)
