I wish him well.

The curse hit AB so hard it decided to skip a year

Awesome!

If I was a Ravens fan I would buy the game and then trade Lamar Jackson to the Chiefs for Patrick Mahomes II. May have to give up some draft picks to the Chiefs to get it done but it's Madden.

No way. QBs like Jackson are almost cheat codes in Madden.

lol that goes clear back to Super Tecmo Bowl with Randell Cun er I mean QB EAGLES that dude could run all over the joint.

Poor lad. Mahomes bitch slapped the curse and straight up humiliated it. It will come back with a vengeance this year and attack Lamar with untold fury. Lamar with have the seething hatred of a billion suns brought down upon him.

Has there ever been back to back covers with the same player, asking for a friend.

And no advanced reptilian solar being on the team to help save him!

Excellent!

First Running back on the cover since the Madden 25 Barry Sanders cover. Peyton Hillis was the last active RB in Madden 12

Ok I think the Curse was alive and well last year, but nothing can keep Mahomes down!

Wishing injury on another player makes you seem nice.

Lamar Jackson seems like a really good dude. Wish he was in the NFC.

If he doesn't develop a good pocket game he might not make a long career out of it.

I mean Mahomes knee cap was on the side of his leg. He got up and made the curse his bitch. Lamar is a lesser being than Mahomes.

Idk why people want to hate on Lamar. He’s a good kid. He needs to keep improving tho especially throwing outside the numbers

Prediction=/=wishing

Doofus.

Can't recall seeing any QB make such a dramatic improvement like Jackson did from one season to the next.

Yeah, good luck with that. I remember watching him humiliate himself in that throwing skills test. Looked like my wife at the gun range.

I recently put Madden 20 back in after a four month hiatus and all the scrubs online use the Ravens.

Jackson is difficult to defend, I won't deny it. He's like 96 speed or something. IIRC, Vick back in Madden 04 was a 95 and he was probably the best Madden player of all time.

Mahomes legacy will be best benefitted from a real rival in the AFC, even if Mahomes ends up with a 14-5 record against that rival. I wish Lamar well and hope he succeeds, he was a blast to watch this year and leads a different offense than what today's defenses are made to counter. The Chiefs having an athlete as transcendental as Mahomes have a foil with an athlete with a largely different skillset like Lamar would be great for the game and make their matchups must see events even with non-NFL fans. I know some folks think Watson is a more natural rival (especially with the intrigue with the Texans wanting Patrick), but with Big Brain running the Texans' ship, I don't see it.

FTR, Mahomes could largely own Lamar throughout his career and still have Lamar considered his main rival. Going into the 2015 season (when Manning was an absolute shell of himself) Brady was 11-4 against him and Bill largely had little issue dispatching of Manning - I think there's a chance Andy and Patrick could have similar success against the Ravens offense (especially if they force Lamar to pass) and Reid's former understudy (Harbaugh).

Hope there's no QB skills competition in the game for his sake LMAO

They're going to make this fool a 99 overall when he threw for 3200 yards...

I’d pay to see Mahomes dominate Lamar in a heated game of Scrabble!

Tecmo Bowl Bo Jackson says hold my beer.

I don't think anyone is surprised. It was pretty much a guarantee

If he was in the XFL he could have COVID-19. On the back of his jersey

I think Lamar seems like an excellent human being, however he isn't an All-Pro QB and this year will show it.

Peyton Hillis was once on the cover of Madden.

Curse re-engaged.

No you were without a doubt wishing injury upon him. Don't hide it. Own up to it scum.

Love the guy as a player. Would love to see him succeed in the NFL long term as he is a dynamic player. Problem is he is such a poor passer that it’s going to take a lot to get him to a point he is even somewhat dangerous as a passer.

Great athlete and I wish him well. He certainly is fun to watch

Oddly, Mahomes returned from the dislocated knee and ankle shortly after EA switched the digitial cover of Madden to Peyton Manning. Basically, EA disrupted the curse and the rest is history. Raven fans should hope the same happens in Lamar's case this year.

Shit his pants good in the playoffs...oh and yes I know the "yards" Baltimore had. Don't....give....a....****

He's kinda dumb.

I wonder if the game will be garbage...again.

Yeah he was bad in the playoffs both years. Just look at how many drives against the Titans ended on a fumble, interception, or turnover on downs. It was bad.
