Development Traits For Every Rookie In Madden 23

Rookies that come into Madden 23 with Star or Superstar development traits right from the jump are some of the easiest players to progress in Madden 23’s franchise mode.

Rookies come in with “Hidden” development traits so you won’t immediately see whether a player has Superstar or Star development until they play 500 snaps in your league. This is also why if you are playing regular Head to Head games, rookies will not have superstar abilities.

In franchise mode only 3 rookies will be have the superstar development trait while there are about 30 rookies with Star development.

The Ravens have the most hidden dev rookies with 4, followed by the Jets with a still impressive 3 rookies with hidden dev.

All hope is not lost though if your players don’t have the development trait you want from the start. You will have chances for breakout games or end of the season development bumps for any player on your team.

Any rookie not listed on here will star off with Normal development.
