Madden 24 is releasing its player ratings this week in advance of their video game launch next month. It’s another meaningless way of ranking players that is sure to get people angry—especially the players themselves.

Enter: Detroit Lions defensive back C.J. Gardner-Johnson. He got his Madden rating on Monday and he’s not happy about it. Gardner-Johnson is an 84 overall, tied for just 19th among all safeties. He responded quickly on Twitter with a “Really madden” and a set of crying laughter emojis.
