Madden NFL 26 Week 4 Ratings Update: Dak Prescott Climbs, Fans Say It’s Still Not Enough EA Sports boosted several stars in Madden 26’s latest ratings update, but the community isn’t satisfied with all the changes
Another week of NFL action means another set of Madden 26 ratings changes, and as always, the updates have fans buzzing — and complaining.
Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott grabbed the spotlight in Week 4’s adjustments, receiving a boost to 88 overall after a strong start to the season. While many fans welcomed the upgrade, others argued it still doesn’t reflect his real-life play. Some felt his awareness should already be in the 90s, while a vocal group dismissed the bump as too small to matter. Prescott once again finds himself as one of the most polarizing figures in the Madden ratings conversation.
📈 Biggest Movers in Week 4
Several other players also saw noteworthy upgrades in Madden NFL 26:
- Dak Prescott (QB, Cowboys): Up to 88 OVR, but awareness rating remains a hot topic.
- Jaxson Dart (QB, Giants): +2 to 71 OVR, with better acceleration, vision, and short passing.
- Woody Marks (HB, Texans): +2 OVR thanks to improved awareness and juke move.
- Omarion Hampton (HB, Chargers): +2 OVR, boosted vision and power running.
- Rome Odunze (WR, Bears): +1 OVR, continuing his strong rookie season.
- Isaiah Rodgers Sr. (CB, Vikings): Speed bump pushes him to 81 OVR.
- Travis Etienne Jr. (HB, Jaguars): Awareness and vision upgrades lift him to 84 OVR.
📣 Community Reactions
As usual, not everyone is happy. Fans took to social media to call out Jonathan Taylor, Aaron Rodgers, and Jordan Love as players who still deserve higher ratings. Madden’s weekly adjustments are designed to keep the game aligned with real-life performance, but debates over accuracy and fairness continue to rage on.
🏆 Final Thoughts
While Week 4 delivered solid upgrades — especially for Dak Prescott, Jaxson Dart, and a few young stars — the Madden ratings debate is far from over. With Week 5 already underway, expect even more scrutiny and arguments about which players deserve recognition.
Until then, one thing is clear: Madden ratings may shift weekly, but fan frustrations remain constant.
