Love it. Madden NFL 17 is one of the better NFL games ever made. I still play it almost every day.

Trailer looks dope and I'm excited for the story mode & graphical upgrades associated with the Frostbite engine.

 

[Griss]

you know his jersey was the highest selling in the nfl last year right? - http://m.nflshop.com/pages/Top_Selling_Jerseys

your salt is insignificant

Dak will beat his ass for you though

Right, he's loved and hated in fairly equal measure. But the people who love him would have bought the game anyway. Those who hate him...? Not according to my group of friends.

Look, more than 70% of the people I chat football to are Dolphins fans, so it's biased. But I'm telling you not a single one of these dudes will buy anything with Tom Brady on it. Shit, even my fantasy football Whatsapp group is swearing off it already, and that's a mix of Cowboys, 49ers and Panthers fans.

I'd give this some balance by saying that I know a Pats fan or two that said they'll now buy it when they wouldn't have previously but lol at ever even speaking with that kind of filth.

Ya'll sound petty as fuck lmao

 

[Tall4Life]

I hope this comes to the Switch! And LMAO @ all y'all who say they're not going to buy it because a guy you don't like is on the cover, grow the fuck up

 

[daveo42]

So he's gonna retire at the end of the season due to injury right.

Madden curse is real. Believe.

Sounds about right.

 

[Bunta]

Tom Brady on the cover and I can play with Leonard Fournette? I'm in.

 

[MiamiWesker]

All dolphins fans would like to thank EA for trying to end Brady's career. Maybe then someone else will in this division will have a chance.

 

[Heshinsi]

First Madden game I ever buy. Don't even like American football, but I like Brady and the Pats.

your friend circle doesn't even account for .0000001% of NFL money

fuck brady, but dude is goat

 

[Cornbread78]

So does this mean everyone who buys Madden this year is a racist supporter?
How does this work?

Oh man, lets not go there.......

How did that work for them last year against Jimmy G?

lmao

 

[Stop It]

So that's Brady's career over then.

I wonder if the switch to Frostbite means finally a return to PC? We can buy hope. If not likely a pickup on PS4 then.

 

[AcademicSaucer]

This is a great thread

 

[The Albatross]

If Browns fans bought Madden '2005 (with Ray Lewis) then Dolphins fans will buy Madden '18 with Tom Brady.

Plus, who even cares... People make hundreds of fan covers a year that you can print out and put in the sleeves. I just spent an hour working on this for any Dolphins fans upset about Tammy on the cover:

Feel free to download and don't forget to like and subscribe

Even as a Pats fan... This is, actually, amazing.

 

[BigPapi]

How long does EA have NFL exclusivity, I need a NFL game on PC and EA doesn't care.

 

[Griss]

Ya'll sound petty as fuck lmao

I only sound petty as fuck because that's exactly what I am when it comes to football. Sports fan-hood is the one place in your life where you can act this way - I realise that the whole endeavor of watching other men chase a ball around and feeling good or bad about which set wins is ridiculous and meaningless and treat it as the silly tribal entertainment it is. That means acting petty and stupid.

your friend circle doesn't even account for .0000001% of NFL money

a) You don't know my friends, they are all multi-billionaires who shit gold
b) I'm not talking about NFL money, I'm talking about Madden sales
c) I was making the point that my group of friends must be representative of at least some reasonable minority of NFL fans

 

[MiamiWesker]

Oh man, lets not go there.......





How did that work for them last year against Jimmy G?

Damn they need to put Belichick on the cover too.

 

[Ever]

Brady on the cover makes it a non-buy for me

Should sue EA for calling with the GOAT edition, false advertising lol

 

[manfestival]

it really should be a cover of him going for a high five

 

[dave is ok]

It's hard to feel bad about 18-1.

It's still something no other team has done in the ten years since even if they couldn't close the deal.

 

[Norris1020]

In the end, the Falcons really won!

lmao

Wow haha.

 

[The Horror the horror]

I hope this comes to the Switch!

If it doesn't, Nintendo should try to acquire a sub-license of the NFL rights from EA, then hand the project to Retro who's wanted to do a football game.

 

[Hansel?]

Story Mode! I hope there's romance optiooooons!

 

[Alex_Mexico]

First Madden to not be available on X360 and PS3 I assume?

 

[Cornbread78]

Damn they need to put Belichick on the cover too.

What's wrong?

 

[friskykillface]

🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐
The GOAT


That curse though

 

[KratosEnergyDrink]

the cover is hilarious. but probably will attract the teen boys

 

[LiK]

Jason is so salty lol

 

[Chris R]

EA better have another cover. I only know one Madden player, they won't buy the game with Brady on the cover.

 

[The Albatross]

Damn they need to put Belichick on the cover too.

Bill Belichick...? Surely you mean

Or

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

EA better have another cover. I only know one Madden player, they won't buy the game with Brady on the cover.

This game might be the best selling madden in years. The story mode is something people been begging for years. And no, hes the only cover athlete. Yall gotta deal with it

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

Gonna be fun having the tutorial be playing the OT of SB LI

 

[jmizzal]

First Madden to not be available on X360 and PS3 I assume?

2K18 is still coming to those systems, I think this will too, but it wont use the same engine.

 

[leatherhat]

I've never bought a Madden. I might buy this one.

 

[gbpackers25]

I honestly don't understand all the hate Brady gets. The dude is a great player who puts all of his effort into every game. He's also fairly quiet and doesn't seem pretentious at all to me.

 

[Jaguar Victory]

EA needs to get their shit together with Madden. I'm so fucking tired of the long ass time it takes to get to the main menu and get into a game. I don't need a bunch of intro and animations, just get me in to do what I want.

 

[Ban Puncher]

Give me XFL Blitz featuring the WWE past & present because Vince still allows fun.

 

[Daffy Duck]

Wow, loads of people looking all deflated over that cover.

 

[msdstc]

Again LMFAO

Digital !?

It's not fun to see the schedule every year and know that you're likely to have an L if you see the Patriots on it.

 

[j0hnnix]

So is the whole Falcons organization on the cover for the Choke Edition of Madden 2018? 😑

 

[Dougieflesh]

As an Eagles fan, I pray that Carson Wentz has half the career of Brady. My friend who's a Ravens fan is so upset that he has to purchase a Madden with his most hated player on it.

 

[Cornbread78]

EA better have another cover. I only know one Madden player, they won't buy the game with Brady on the cover.

LOL.

Spoiler

I hate "salt" gifs

Anyhow, 2 words for ya...

"Digital" "Download"

 

[UberTag]

The best part is, Brady could get hurt this year and the Pats will still win the AFC, and be in the super bowl with Jimmy G leading them to victory. Team is stacked this year

Pats are stacked every year. This is not news.
Them winning the AFC East is the easiest bet in Vegas before every season... and I say this as a long-suffering Bills fan.

 

[leatherhat]

I honestly don't understand all the hate Brady gets. The dude is a great player who puts all of his effort into every game. He's also fairly quiet and doesn't seem pretentious at all to me.

Extreme greatness = Extreme hateness

Also he's friends with Trump which is probably enough to drive a lot of people up the wall.

 

[mindatlarge]

Not a fan of his team, I'm a Steelers fan, but his special talent is undeniable as a player. Best QB I've witnessed in my lifetime. He's definitely in the very small pool of elite players that you could consider being GOAT. Well deserved title and cover appearance.
