Check out how some of the Chargers players look like in the annual video game.
EA Sports’ Madden 22 has officially dropped to the general public.
For many years now, the annual video game has been scrutinized for issues like in-game glitches, player ratings and in this case, facial and body features.
Various members of the Chargers were shown what they and their teammates look like in the new game.
For the most part, the comparisons were a mixed bag.

Find out what EA Sports did in attempt to enhance their gameplay with Madden NFL 22.
EA Sports’ Madden NFL 22 is going to hit the shelves soon.
This year, one of the biggest additions to the gameplay will be the home-field advantages for each NFL stadium.
With this feature, each of the 32 stadiums will have a unique effect on gameplay in the video game.
While the Chargers have yet to experience fans in SoFi Stadium yet, their home-field advantage is called “Bolt Up.” With this, Los Angeles gains bonus momentum for yardage gains when the offense has the ball.
It may seem generic, but at least the developers of the game are attempting to enhance the gameplay.
Here’s a look at Los Angeles’ AFC West rivals’ home-field advantages:
Broncos – “Mile High” (Away team has less stamina for plays)
Raiders – “Just Win Baby” (When winning, home team has increased momentum gain/fatigue recovery)
Chiefs – “Home of the Chiefs” (Away team’s audibles have a chance of failing)
Those purchasing the MVP or Dynasty Edition of Madden 22 will have the opportunity to play the game on Aug. 17 while the standard version will be released three days later on Aug. 20.
Chargers Wire’s Gavino Borquez lays out the four Chargers players whose ‘Madden 21’ ratings were too low.
Here are four Chargers players whose ratings seem off in “Madden NFL 21.”
Keenan Allen was given a 91 overall rating, which seems just about right considering he is one of the best wide receivers in the game. But his partner in crime’s rating of 81 seems to be a bit off. He’s stacked up with wideouts like A.J. Brown and Michael Gallup when he should be in the same tier as Courtland Sutton, Jarvis Landry and D.J. Moore. His rookie season was riddled by an injury, but he has been the model of consistency since then. In 2018, the big-bodied target reeled in 10 touchdowns. He scored just twice in 2019, but he averaged 20.4 yards per reception, which was No. 1 in the league, and topped 1,000 yards for the first time. While Tyrod Taylor might not have the biggest arm, Justin Herbert does. If Herbert is under center, Williams will become a go-to target for the former Clemson product.
What it should have been: 85
Check out the trailer, where two members of the Los Angeles Chargers can be found.
EA Sports’ Madden NFL video games are one of the more highly anticipated games on a yearly basis.
While we still have a little over two months until Madden 21 is released, the developers gave us a preview of what to expect in the newest installment in the first trailer for the game.
In the trailer, Chargers running back Austin Ekeler and defensive end Joey Bosa are both featured.
Ekeler can be found at the 0:24 mark, while Bosa is seen at the 0:37 mark. Both players are spotted wearing the new uniforms and playing at SoFi Stadium, which is the new home to the Chargers and Rams.
