My Hunt for Godwin’s Madden 24 Number
So, I got curious the other day about Chris Godwin’s rating in Madden 24. You know how it is, you follow a team, in my case the Bucs, and you just wanna see how the game makers are valuing your guys. It’s sort of a yearly ritual for me.

My first thought was to check right in the game itself. Seemed like the most direct way. I turned on my console, waited for everything to boot up, and launched Madden 24. You know the drill, the loading screens, the menus.
Once I was in, I headed straight for the rosters. I went through the menus, something like ‘Manage Rosters’ or whatever they call it this year. Found the Tampa Bay Buccaneers pretty easily. Then I just scrolled down the list, looking for WRs, specifically #14. There he was, Chris Godwin. Saw the overall rating next to his name.
But here’s the thing, I always get a bit skeptical. Especially early on, or if I haven’t updated the game in a week or two. Was that rating the absolute latest? Ratings shift around.
So, my next step was to go online. I grabbed my phone while the game was still on the screen. I typed a few things into the search bar:
- chris godwin madden 24 overall
- madden 24 buccaneers ratings
- latest madden 24 roster update godwin
You get a mix of stuff doing that. Some fan sites pop up, maybe some forum arguments about whether the rating is fair. I clicked through a few links. Some were clearly outdated, showing last year’s stats or just speculation from before the game even launched. Gotta be careful with that.

I kept looking until I found a source that seemed more solid. Usually, the official game site or a really well-known sports gaming news place has the most reliable, up-to-date numbers. I found a page that specifically listed the roster ratings, likely from the most recent official update. Found Godwin on that list, and checked his overall number there. It lined up, or maybe it was slightly different reflecting a very recent patch, I don’t recall exactly.
It wasn’t super complicated, but it took a few steps. You can’t always just trust the first number you see, especially in the game if you’re not sure your rosters are totally current. A little bit of cross-checking usually gets the job done. Anyway, I found what I was looking for. Felt good to know the official number.
