Justin Field’s top pass catching-option didn’t even crack the 80-overall threshold.
Simply put, a 79-rated player doesn’t make plays like those above. But as we dig deeper into Mooney’s rating, the disrespect becomes even more evident.
Mooney’s overall score is brought down by a paltry 51 strength rating. That’s understandable considering he weighs just over 180 pounds, but that lack of strength really isn’t a weakness in his game. In two of the above highlights, we can see how Mooney uses elusiveness and some veteran savviness to break tackles. As such, his 75 break tackle rating should be much higher. Realistically though, Mooney’s strengths lie in his speed and agility.
Let’s be real though. Games like Madden are all about the stats, and when you dig in there, it becomes clear that Mooney was snubbed. Last season, Mooney racked up 1,055 receiving yards, good for 19th-most in the league. Add up the total yardage for JuJu Smith-Schuster, Jamison Crowder and Corey Davisー all players rated higher than Mooneyー and their combined production barely eclipses Mooney at 1,068 yards. Mooney also ranked tied for 20th in the league with 81 catches.
It’s not just those basic production numbers either. Mooney’s 23 catches of 20+ yards was tied for 23rd-best in the league. His 49 first down receptions ranked 21st. If there’s one slight against Mooney, it’s that he only caught four touchdown passes, but even that is tied for 47th-best among wideouts, higher than his No. 54 ranking in Madden.
There is a chance for Mooney to improve his standing in the game, however. Each week, the developers at EA adjust the ratings for players in the game based on their production. If Mooney shows improvement in his second year with Justin Fields, or even continues to produce at the same rate he did last season, he should be rated in the 80s before too long.
