Peyton Manning Madden Ratings History
Peyton Manning is one of the most highly rated quarterbacks in Madden history, and his Madden ratings provide an interesting timeline of one of the NFL's most accomplished careers.
MaddenRatings.net tracks Manning's ratings across multiple editions of Madden NFL, from his early years with the Indianapolis Colts through his final seasons with the Denver Broncos.
His rating history stands out because of both its longevity and its remarkable peak. Manning reached a 99 overall rating for five consecutive recorded Madden releases, making his page one of the clearest examples of sustained elite quarterback ratings in the Madden database.
Peyton Manning Madden Rating History
Peyton Manning's recorded Madden history begins with an 87 overall rating in Madden NFL 2000.
His rating increased to 95 overall in Madden NFL 2001 and reached 97 overall in Madden NFL 2002. By Madden NFL 2006, Manning had reached 99 overall.
From there, he remained at the maximum 99 rating through Madden NFL 07, Madden NFL 08, Madden NFL 09, Madden NFL 10, and Madden NFL 11.
That five-release stretch at 99 overall is the defining feature of Manning's Madden rating history.
Peyton Manning's Highest Madden Rating
Highest recorded Madden rating: 99 OVR
Peyton Manning reached 99 overall in five consecutive recorded Madden releases:
Manning did not simply reach 99 once. He remained at the top of the Madden ratings for several consecutive releases.
Peyton Manning's Madden Rating Progression
The MaddenRatings.net database records the following overall ratings for Peyton Manning:
From 87 Overall to the 99 Club
Manning's earliest recorded Madden rating is 87 overall in Madden NFL 2000.
His rating increased substantially in the following releases, reaching 95 in Madden NFL 2001 and 97 in Madden NFL 2002.
Although his rating moved back into the low 90s for the next two recorded releases, he returned to 97 in Madden NFL 2005.
The following season marked a major milestone.
Manning reached 99 overall in Madden NFL 06 and then remained at 99 through the next five recorded releases.
That progression shows that Manning was already highly rated early in his Madden career before eventually reaching and maintaining the maximum rating.
Five Consecutive Madden Releases at 99 Overall
The most notable part of Peyton Manning's Madden history is his extended run at 99 overall.
Manning was rated 99 in:
Madden NFL 06
Madden NFL 07
Madden NFL 08
Madden NFL 09
Madden NFL 10
Madden NFL 11
This gives Manning a six-release stretch at 99 overall based on the ratings currently recorded in the MaddenRatings.net database.
That consistency is unusual. Instead of briefly reaching the top rating and dropping back into the 90s, Manning remained at 99 across multiple versions of the game.
The First Decline From 99
Manning's rating eventually moved below 99 in Madden NFL 12, when he was recorded at 98 overall.
His Madden NFL 12 entry also contains an important note: “Injury - Did Not Play.”
That makes this part of his rating history particularly interesting because it shows that a major real-world interruption occurred during a period when Manning had previously maintained the highest possible Madden rating.
The following recorded Madden release shows Manning at 93 overall.
A Return to the Elite Ratings
Manning's rating history did not simply decline after his run at 99.
The database shows him returning to 97 overall in Madden NFL 25 and 98 overall in Madden NFL 15.
That rebound is one of the most interesting parts of his later Madden history.
After spending several releases at the maximum rating, Manning eventually dropped into the low 90s, but his rating later climbed back toward the top of the game.
The Final Recorded Madden Years
Manning's final recorded Madden ratings show another decline.
He was rated 98 overall in Madden NFL 15 before dropping to 92 overall in Madden NFL 16.
Even though his final rating was below his peak, the complete history shows that Manning remained highly rated for much of his career.
His final recorded Madden rating on this page is 92 overall.
