EA Sports have trickled in all the launch ratings for Madden NFL 25 over the past week. Madden NFL 25 is set for a release date of August 16 and now we have a good look at how EA ranks the Pittsburgh Steelers in comparison to the rest of the NFL.

Spoiler: It's not great. Only three Steelers ranked over 90 with EDGE T.J. Watt the highest with a 97.

Here is how the Top 12 Steelers stack up:

OLB T.J. Watt - 97

FS Minkah Fitzpatrick - 93

DE Cameron Heyward - 90

OLB Alex Highsmith - 89

MLB Patrick Queen - 85

WR George Pickens - 83

RB Najee Harris - 83

RB Jaylen Warren - 82

TE Pat Freiermuth - 82

K Chris Boswell - 81

G Isaac Seumalo - 81

CB Joey Porter Jr.  - 81

Not having Watt as one of the rare 99-rated players came as something of a surprise and seeing fellow LB Alex Highsmith just 8 points below him was just as shocking.

The Steelers offense was fairly well represented and seeing Harris and Warren with just one point separating them really highlights just how good the Steelers run game can be.
