**** Tom Brady. I don't even want to see that ass clown in the same picture as Mahomes, let alone purchase the game. Hard pass.

At least Brady’s not sticking seven fingers in Patrick’s face

Madden 22 cover: Mahomes and some douche

GAH! HAS MAHOMES ON IT MUST BUY.

HAS BRADY ON IT MUST BURN.

Amazon's frequently bought together:

They ruined it.

Actually, knowing that Brady signed off on being on the cover with Mahomes...

that's pretty dope. there must be legit respect there.

Exactly.

Must own it.

Can't own it.

Oh, I think that's been apparent long before this.

I don't even really care that Brady is on there with him, that's twice in three damn years he's going to be on the cover.

That's absolutely amazing.

For sure it's incredible. But I have my copy of 20 sitting on my desk right here with my rookie card and my replica ring.

I'm not putting a picture of Tom Brady up there, regardless of who he's standing there with. Not even Mahomes.

I don't know...I can't root for the Madden Curse now...

Yep. I'm fine with the national angle of him being on the cover in whatever fashion, but as a Chiefs fan Brady eliminates this from any Chiefs fan display I might someday build. We've got enough other good stuff to put there.

The last time Mahomes was on the cover we won the Super Bowl. So a curse for the rest of the league.

The responses are salty af.

Love it.

To think that this is his fourth year starting and second year on the cover says a lot. Face of the league and he is ours for the long haul.

I’m going to wait until it goes on clearance (it’s Madden…it sucks) and then I’ll cut out Brady and put a picture of myself in there.

Problem solved.

LMAO

Modern problems require modern solutions.

:bravo:

Pedo or not, Brady has proven himself, in my eyes.

Q

^

Who's the old guy?

not pictured: current MVP who is about to get even less gruntled

Now that you mention it, I don't think Rodgers has ever been on the cover.

Interesting for a 2 time MVP and Super Bowl champion QB playing for one of the leagues most iconic franchises.

It's because he's a dick.

So much of one.

That's cuz they don't know if he is going start the season as a Packer or not or what ever team he would start for. They'd have to do a lot of recovers if he went else where. And his face wouldn't sell as much as Mahomes.

Hope Brady gets raped to death by a chimpanzee

I did something similar with my wedding pictures…except I cut out my wife and added Mahomes.

I think they should put the RealSNR avatar pic on the cover of Madden. :)

Would be record sales.

That explains this year but it doesn't explain the other years he could have been on the cover.

Where’s Josh Allen?

The last time Mahomes was on the cover? We won the Super Bowl.

The last time Brady was on the cover? He lost the Super Bowl.

The year after they won the Super Bowl he had a ridiculous season. Lit up the NFL. Was dropping bombs all over the field. Still wasn't on it the next year.

Very odd.

He lost out to Peyton Hillis. Hard to argue with that.

Actually it was Calvin Johnson. 1681 yards and 16 TDs in 2011.

Please let this game not suck.

ROFL

The GOAT + a 44 year old PED cheating fraud.

They had a Mahomes cover and then they ruined it by adding in a cheater. It's like someone painted a cheesy mustache on the Mona Lisa.

There are so many better ways EA Sports could have gone if they wanted the multi-generational GOAT cover.

Mahomes and Montana, Mahomes and Unitas (Photoshop him to life), etc.

They should have put Minshew there with Mahomes.

He's not the GOAT, yet.

Deshaun Watson sitting on a massage table and wearing a towel should have been the Madden cover.

Okay, Skip Bayless.

I'm not saying he won't be. But you are judging potential rather than results that have yet to come to fruition.

And if you call me Skip Bayless again, I will cut you.

should've corrected myself

"Please let this offseason Patch labeled as a new game not suck"


:)

Did Madden 18 suck? That was the last engine redesign, since then it's been roster updates.

Is that the old guy who tongue kisses 12 year old boys?

Too late it's EA...

Le'Veon Bell would rather hang up his controller than be on the Madden cover.

Some of you are getting really spoiled.

If I had told you 10 years ago we'd have a QB on the cover of Madden twice in a three year period, but the second time he'd have to share the cover with Brady, you would have done backflips.

It's unheard of to have the same guy on the cover two times, not to mention in such a short time frame. It's an incredible accomplishment for Pat. The guy is a true generational superstar. I never, ever thought I'd see the day where we'd have a QB of this stature and am grateful to be able to witness it.

I'm not reading anyone saying Mahomes is entitled to the cover by himself.

Just a bunch of **** Tom Brady..... and the reason for that is **** Tom Brady.

As much as I despise Brady's existence, it seems to me like this is meant to be a compliment putting him on the cover with Pat. Like the 'passing of the torch' or however you want to say it.

Any way you slice it, him being on the cover twice in three years is just plain amazing. Even sharing it with that pile of garbage.

Is it weird that I'm kind of starting to hate him less? I mean, for a long time my hatred came from what I perceived to be him getting too much credit when he had Belichick and a great defense to support him.

But the guy goes to a completely different team and won the Super Bowl his first year there...at age 43...and looked fantastic while doing it. And even though he beat us, at least he won't be in the way of us making the Super Bowl anymore.

I'll celebrate when he retires as much as anyone, but at some point you just have to tip your cap and try to appreciate that how good he is. He's one of the few players in NFL history that are pretty much undisputed as the "goat".

Anybody remember when "goat" meant a player who was blamed for one terrible performance or play that ruined everything? "In that AFC Championship game, Dee Ford was the goat." This is how it used to be. At some point it became "Greatest of All Time" and it is kind of stupid so I think we should go back to the way it was before.

On the other hand, **** him. He sucks.

Exactly.

**** Tom Brady.

Tom Brady is the biggest PED scandal in sports history just waiting to get exposed.

Time go stop celebrating him.

The amazing part is that there are actually people who truly believe he is pulling this shit off by eating kale and avocados and going to bed early. It's absurd.

Mind boggling how gullible people are. I highly doubt it will ever be exposed, though. I don't know who Brady sold his soul to, but he's getting every last cent out of that deal.

He'd be looking around for a ref to come save him

I found a pencil laying next to my computer, so I stabbed it in my left eye. It hurt like hell, but now I can't see Brady on the cover anymore, just Mahomes. Worth it.

Remember the "Goat" has also been marred by not just one, but two cheating scandals during his career. Whether and how much he had a hand in that is another story. Both times his team was caught and penalized by the league. Plus some of his rings are him being the beneficiary of phenomenal luck (hard to give him credit for that 10-7 shootout against the Rams).

I do not remember that, no

geriatric - generational
officiated - original
aw shucks - awesome
tainted - talented

I actually didn't hate him when he was with the Patriots.

...the Patriots beating both the Raiders and Rams in one postseason was pretty damn amazing at the time (at the time, the few Rams fans around here were pretty damn obnoxious, plus a few idiots I went to school with).
...there's the cheating and what not, but the Chiefs sucked for the vast majority of that time and it never really impacted my football fandom.
...I've never been one to hate successful players.
...I've never been one to hate seeing the same teams in the playoffs/SB every year as long as that team is worthy of being there... and they've played in some great playoff and SB games.
...I really thought that the 2018 AFCCG is when the Chiefs had 'arrived'. All I've ever wanted is for the Chiefs to contend with the best in the biggest games of the year, and they did that, even with the shitty defense.


So, I actually hate him more now given...
....the whole 'golden boy'/crying to the refs thing directly impacted the Chiefs' chances at winning a SB.
...the Bucs had a Knights-level of luck just to get to the SB, and similar to the Knights, it's so much more about the system than the talent (and there's still some respect with knowing how to win at 47yo or whatever).
...and while I really hope some NFC team can step up, any chance of Brady making the SB now significantly reduces my interest if the Chiefs also make it back (and destroys it otherwise), due to what happened in Feb. That's just a thing now until he retires.

Sour grapes and what not, but even if the Chiefs only had one in ten chance of winning that game, the calls in that game completely skewed my perspective, and if it's the Chiefs/Bucs next season, WTH would I get excited for that, have people over, treat it like the party it should be? And that really sucks.

Easy fixhttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...f204e11ad8.jpg

I got lucky and scooped a beta code, gotta' say I'm not terribly impressed so far with the franchise add ons. I don't know what I was expecting but it wasn't really this. They kind of just laid the foundation and backbone of some interesting ideas but they seem relatively barren with little real impact on most things. I don't think we will see the fruits of it till the Madden cycle after this.

But then again they do have 3 live updates planned for franchise so maybe that helps.

This!!!!

It’s a Lance Armstrong situation… Brady has enough resources and support to develop an elaborate PED strategy that avoids detection.

Brady is clearly a great player. His 5000 yard season with Moss, Welker, and Hernandez (lol!) is proof of that.

What I hate about him is he's getting shit ass ****ing lucky all the goddamn time in his later years, and people are claiming that's all him. I know football is a game of inches, and every QB out there has had some good and bad breaks in their careers that did or did not lead to championships, but this mother****er is taking it to the extreme.

Had Dee Ford not lined up offsides, the Chiefs win, and Brady finishes that game with 1 TD and 3 INTs. You can also shave off all of his late game passing yards (about 100 of them). He would have been in his 40s against a young cannon of a QB, and he would have looked like utter ****ing dogshit so much that people would remember his late career for choking, not winning. One ****ing offsides away.

This one less so, but again in a conference championship, he gets to face the Packers without both starting tackles (hmm... how interesting) AND Aaron Rodgers doesn't run in for the easy TD. That one isn't as close of a call, since it was just bone-headedness from the opposing QB, but what was Brady's statline? Yep. This time he actually did throw 3 picks. If he loses that game, people look at him yet again as a choker.

How about losing two straight SBs to the Giants, and on his next one he gets a gift from God when his defense bails him out on that Wilson goal line INT? He loses that one, and he joins illustrious shit ass names like Horseface in the "lost three straight SBs" category. He still would have plenty of chances to get back to the big game, but the cards would certainly be stacked more defiantly against him at that point.

I know the Tyree helmet catch and the Eagles loss and all that can be argued the other way, but those other three examples are the kinds of jaw droppingly lucky ass breaks that you see maybe once in an illustrious career. Brady's had it happen to him three times, all occurrences within the last 25% of his career.

That's not greatness. That's not as a result of preparation or Marianne Williamson magnetic faith healing bullshit he believes in. That's just stupid ass ****ery that he fell ass over tea kettle into.

If I'm an all-time great like Dan Marino or Jim Kelly and I look at all the horseshoes that fall out of Brady's loose butthole, I'd want to throw a goddamn ax through my TV every time I watch one of his Super Bowls. What the hell did that mother****er do to snatch magic like that and wind up winning championships he had no business winning? And why do I look at my trophy case and see zero wins, and why do I look at my career highlights and find NONE of the lucky ass breaks this dipshit gets?

I don't believe in karma, and I don't believe that luck has to balance out or regress to the mean or anything like that. But man, if those universal rules did apply, Brady would get Alex Smith'd on the first play of next season, the bacteria would work its way through his body, and he'd wind up as a brain in a jar for the rest of his life.
