As reported by ESPN today. EA has announced the cover to Madden 18. In a special edition of the game called the "G.O.A.T Edition" the honor has been bestowed onto none other than the greatest quarter back of this generation. Mr. Tom Brady of the Super Bowl winning New England Patriots.
This is the first time that Tom Brady will grace the cover of a Madden game, but not the first time he has been on the cover of an NFL game. Back in 2003, Brady was on the cover, of the now defunct NFL GameDay series.
This year Madden honors all of the greatest players in the NFL. No names have been announced at this time, but I am sure we will be seeing all of the greats. If Jerry Rice isn't in this game, I say we all riot in the streets.
Look for more information on this as time passes by. Honestly, as a huge Patriot fan, this might actually be a Madden game I buy.
Now we can't talk about the Madden cover with out speaking of the Madden curse that has fallen upon the cover athletes. What is the Madden curse? Well my friend, it all started in 1998, with then cover boy Garrison Hearst. Garrison was the cover athlete on Madden NFL '99, who then suffered a broken ankle that season and was on the bench missing the entire season. As time went on, more and more athletes fell victim to this curse. Even one of the Brady's own team mates. Patriot Tight End Ron Gronkowski was a victim of the curse after his appearance on Madden 17.
What does Tom think of the curse? In a Facebook statement given earlier today Tom went on to say.
"I'm not one to believe in curses, so I'm ready to take the challenge head on like always! It doesn't stand a chance!!!”
Will Tom break the curse? Will the rest of the NFL have a chance to actually win this season? Only time will tell. But I think even an injured Brady is still better than 99.9% of the quarter backs. But that is just my opinion.
Will you being buying Madden this year? Are you excited for the cover? Comment with your thoughts and opinions below.
Like always, this is James with Game Fix. Game on everybody.
