Which Chicago Bears rank best in Madden NFL 16?

We'll run down the best Chicago Bears' players in each rating category of the new Madden NFL 16 video game.

We're just a couple weeks away from the August 25th release date for EA Sports' Madden NFL 16. Back in June, our very own Superfans, shared with us the trailer for the game. While they aren't exactly video game aficionados, they do enjoy playing as the Chicago Bears and beating the snot out of every team.

We recently got a hold of the entire player rating list thanks to the fellas over at pastapadre.com, and while we won't share everything with you -- that would just be information overload -- we will bring you the best rated Chicago Bears' players in each category.

I didn't include any players that are no longer with the team.
