Puka Nacua Finally Reaches 90 OVR in Madden 26 After Fan Pressure Rams fans celebrate Nacua’s ratings boost, but many argue he still deserves more

It finally happened—Puka Nacua is now rated 90 overall in Madden 26. After weeks of fans demanding an update, EA Sports delivered, with the official Madden account announcing: “Puka officially enters the 90s.”

But while Rams fans are celebrating the milestone, the reaction online shows that this is only the beginning of the conversation.

⭐ Fan Demands Turn Into Celebration

For months, fans have been pushing Madden developers to boost Nacua’s rating after his breakout season. The replies to the announcement capture the community’s mood perfectly:

“Took y’all long enough.”
“Should be 95 already.”
“What were you watching when he was stuck at 88?”

The consensus? 90 is nice, but many believe EA is still underrating his impact.

📊 Nacua’s Rookie Brilliance

Puka wasn’t a household name before his record-breaking rookie campaign, but his production quickly turned heads:

Set multiple rookie receiving records.
Consistently elevated the Rams’ offensive efficiency.
Became one of the most reliable wideouts in the league.

Fans have pointed out that numbers like yards per route run back up the case that he belongs among the NFL’s elite receivers.

🗣️ The Debate: Nacua vs. Other WRs

As with every Madden ratings reveal, debates exploded online. Some argued Nacua should be rated higher than receivers like Amon-Ra St. Brown or Nico Collins, citing advanced stats and on-field production. Others countered that established stars still edge him in hands and route running.

The result? A chaotic, passionate storm that defines the Madden community every ratings update.

🎮 Madden Ratings Frustrations

Beyond Nacua, fans used the moment to voice other frustrations:

Franchise Mode draft classes still feel broken.
Bugs like DK Metcalf appearing on defense were called out.
Requests for updates to stars like Aaron Rodgers surfaced alongside the Nacua debate.

It highlights the ongoing tension between player performance on the field and how ratings reflect that in-game.

✅ Final Thoughts

For Rams fans, seeing Puka Nacua hit 90 OVR is validation of what they’ve known all along—he’s a star. But many still argue he should already be in the 95+ conversation.

At the end of the day, Madden ratings are more than just numbers; they’re recognition, bragging rights, and fuel for endless debates. And with Nacua’s rise, the conversation shows no signs of slowing down.
