Gamers playing Madden NFL 19 should consider using the Minnesota Vikings, who are among the highest ranked franchises in the popular video game this year.

Playing Madden video game is a bit of a tradition for many fans of the NFL. Over the years, the franchise continues to be improved to be the most realistic product possible for gamers and fans of the game of football, including many Minnesota Vikings fanatics.

One of the most fun parts of the game franchise is taking your favorite team to the Super Bowl and winning the Lombardi Trophy. That pursuit is made easier if you choose a team among the highest rated franchises.

Check out the team ratings for Madden NFL 19 according to a tweet from Sunday Night Football on Twitter:

From the chart above, the Vikings are the sixth-highest rated team in the game with an overall rating of 82. Considering all the talent Minnesota has on their roster, that seems like a fair spot for the team to be.

Amazing players like Xavier Rhodes, Linval Joseph, Everson Griffen, Stefon Diggs, and Adam Thielen help to bring up the team’s rating, but plenty of rising stars and great players such as Danielle Hunter, Mike Hughes, and Pat Elflein give the team plenty of appeal for those looking to create a dynasty.

Of course, one of the biggest changes for the game will be the addition of quarterback Kirk Cousins and no longer having Sam Bradford, Teddy Bridgewater, or Case Keenum available. However, having Cousins at the helm should have increased the overall rating.

The only teams above the Minnesota Vikings are all playoff teams. Both Super Bowl teams (the Philadelphia Eagles and New England Patriots) are rated first and second with the Atlanta Falcons, Pittsburgh Steelers, and New Orleans Saints rounding out the top 5.
