Bryant teases EA Sports about low Madden 17 rating
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant chided EA Sports for giving him a 90 rating in Madden 17.
Bryant was rated as the eighth-best receiver this year, a distinction that didn't sit all too well with him.
"We're just going to see what happens. Like I told Madden, they put me at 90, I'm not worried about that. That rating going to shoot up real quick, you best believe that," Bryant said to Jon Machota of The Dallas Morning News.
EA Sports provided a succinct response:
.@DezBryant your kick rating seems to be weighing down your OVR... 😬 #Madden17https://t.co/d9lWNrOylS
