Cowboys superstar Micah Parsons snubbed from Madden NFL 26 '99 Club'

It's officially Madden NFL 26 ratings release week, so get ready for a lot of discourse from fans who feel their team's best players are underrated and the rivals are overrated. For Dallas Cowboys Nation, there is actually a good reason for a little gripe with EA Sports.

The "99 club" for Madden NFL 26 was released on Monday, July 28, and there was one glaring omission: Cowboys superstar Micah Parsons.

Parsons is widely regarded as one of the best defenders in the NFL, and the league's best pass rusher, but he was not given the max rating in this year's game.

Instead, it was Cleveland Browns pass rusher Myles Garrett who had the lone 99 rating on the defensive side of the ball.

Much like the front office disrespecting Parsons by dragging their feet in contract negotiations, EA Sports reminded us that video games are not reality.

A full look at the Madden NFL 26 "99 Club" can be seen below.
