EA Sports has released its player ratings database for Madden 20, and several NFL stars aren't too pleased with their virtual self.

If you're new to Madden, every player is given a rating: 99 is the highest, 0 is the lowest. The rating is based off of several factors including speed, strength, awareness and position-specific traits (such as throw power, catching, tackling, etc.). Most players feel like they're the best at their position, so naturally several of them were upset with their Madden 20 rating when they were released.

Players voiced their anger on social media with some being upset at the overall rating while others had complaints in specific areas.

MADDEN 20: List of top players at each position

While I'm sure several players feel they deserved a 99 overall rating, that special club was reserved for just four stars: Aaron Donald, DeAndre Hopkins, Khalil Mack and Bobby Wagner. There are 72 players with a 90 or above rating, including seven quarterbacks, eight running backs and 12 receivers.

Kyler Murray took the top spot for rookie quarterbacks with a 73 overall rating, followed by Dwayne Haskins (72) and Daniel Jones (63).

But enough breakdowns, let's take a look at how players reacted to their rating.
