Quickly putting on the uniform of the Tampa (Tompa?) Bay Buccaneers, Brady looked like a freshwater fish in Madden 22 coins the water of Florida but not for long. The transition from one fantastic coach to another certainly helped as did the ragtag Patriots receivers of his last season playing in New England were suddenly swapped to stars such as Mike Evans and Chris Godwin–and the oh-so famous Gronk has come out of retirement to join him too.

In all, Brady’s new team earned him his 10th Super Bowl appearance, and it was in a match where the Bucs were able to beat the once-feared insurmountable Chiefs. Brady didn’t retire just yet, so you could expect an extension of that “gradual decline” that we’d heard about for the past decade.

In what will be remembered as his last year as an active player in Madden–barring any Favre-like second thoughts–Brady debuted as a player in Madden 22 in the form of a 97 overall. He also appeared on his cover for the second consecutive time this time alongside Patrick Mahomes, who was doing similar things. It’s amazing that he has once again led the league in touchdowns, yards, completions, and, for the first time, attempted attempts. He passed the ball more than 700 times, and he was successful on 68% or more of those passes, showing no signs to show signs of aging that has to date left no one in the game, not least of those with that wear and tear Brady has.

Brady’s annual status as a dominant Madden star and two-time Cover athlete are both trophies that represent one of the biggest winners that sports has ever produced. Brady retires as the all-time leader in nearly every passing category, including career-high yards and touchdowns–not to mention his record-shattering seven Super Bowl victories. There has never been another NFL star quite like Tom Brady, and maybe there will never be. The NFL’s loss is one shared among the Madden community, who now must look elsewhere for a hero when facing a must-win league title or buy Mut 22 coins making their Ultimate Team. The greatest of all time.
