At the other end of the scale, the New York Giants bottom out this year’s team rankings with a score of just 75. Read on for a more detailed look at the top five Madden 25 best teams, and the complete Madden 25 rankings list.

With Madden 25 cover star Christian McCaffrey earning a 99 OVR, the 49ers are a force in this year’s game. Team-mate Trent Williams joins him in earning the maximum possible rating. Five other players earn 90+ numbers, including tight end George Kittle and wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk.

Good luck going up against John Harbaugh’s squad in online matches. Lamar Jackson is almost impossible to contain, with 95 speed, 95 acceleration, and a staggering 98 OVR. Plus he has 94-rated Derrick Henry to hand off to. Then there’s Roquan Smith (MLB, 95) marshalling the troops on the other side of the ball…

4 Miami Dolphins - 89

Florida’s offensive juggernauts are primed for another high-scoring year, both in real life and Madden. Tyreek Hill is a 99 Club inclusion, while a bunch of Miami players sit within the 80-89 bracket. Tau, Mostert, Waddle, Achane: you'll be busting out all the Madden 25 celebrations with these dudes.

5 Dallas Cowboys / Detroit Lions 88
