Madden 18 announced: Tom Brady (G.O.A.T. Edition), Frostbite, teaser trailer, XB1/PS4

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:

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

As a Colts fan, I'd be more likely to buy this with your Dolphins cover. Maybe I'll print it and use it.

I can't believe they're legit calling it the GOAT edition. I skipped 17 but I think I'll get 18.

No Switch version I assume?

Alright, that actually makes sense, still it's strange. Greatest >what< of all time? (I know game but it's not in the abbreviation)

You'll get different opinions on Brady here, but when you see GOAT mentioned along with someones name, it typically they are the best to ever do what they do.

Greatest (football player/QB) of all time.
Greatest (baseball player) of all time.
Greatest (basketball player) of all time.
Greatest (cereal) of all time.
Greatest (game) of all time.
Etc.. etc..
 
17 sucked, don't have much hope for 18.

It's sad how tempted I am not to buy this game just because I don't want to look at Tom fucking Brady every time I wanna play it.

GOAT has never been a thing exclusively for games, it started when talking about the best basketball player, it just means greatest of all time
 
GOAT? Seriously? I was never fond of that abbreviation, it's just stupid. You can have a Game of the Generation(GotG) or a Game of the Year(GotY) but you cannot have a Game of All Time. That doesn't even mean anything, is this game more gamier than the others?

Well i guess Goat Meat is pretty gamy?

I'm almost sure this is a joke post but I know there's people out there that don't believe in a life outside of gaming so I also have my doubts

If you're calling Michael Jordan or Tom Brady the GOAT it's obvious what the "what" is.

Michael Jordan isn't the greatest baker of all time and Tom Brady isn't the best fisherman of all time.
 

dave is ok

The first time I heard the term 'GOAT' used was when the greatest living rapper, L.L. Cool J, made an album informing everyone of his status

Incredibly Naive
Football is permanently ruined for so many salty fans. Brady will forever be the goat, there's no escaping it.

intangibles, motherfucker
Putting cheaters on the covers now huh.

Maybe Barry Bonds will be on the next Show cover.

Have you tried MJ's apple crumble? I recommend 2 scoops of ice cream on top, if you are feeling presidential.

They've wrecked this franchise. I'm not sure they have a sound plan going forward. Their biggest money tournament can't muster more than 4k views, MUT gets boring because casuals don't want their heads bashed in by folks trying to climb ladders to qualify for tournaments. There was no reason to run a 99 MUT squad because EA made salary cap mode the defacto MUT Mode, and casuals didn't enjoy salary cap mode because you have the tourney goons trying to qualify for tourneys.

Lastly, their slider/tuner settings were completely fucked on various modes. All-Pro salary cap felt different from H2H which is different from Draft Champs. Tourney players showed up to the Feb event and all of a sudden they could run the ball much more effectively, settings/tuners were different from the ones we played with for months. EA states that there's no difference in any modes,who do you believe?

I guess they want to segment the populations, let the competitive players do their thing, casuals do theirs, and keep that MUT money rolling in. All-Madden 17 CFM prepatch felt and played like the best game they've put out. Had issues with fumbles but that was an easy fix, they wrecked the game in future patches.

No faith in these guys, and yet I'll still be there day one.
 
Tom Brady is the greatest quarterback that ever lived.

It'll be one freezing day in hell before I buy a Madden with Brady on the cover.

I'll just skip this year, or wait for it to hit Access.
 
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.

This is why anecdotes are useless.

Madden doesn't play like an actual football game would. I hate exclusivity, totally killed the football genre of games for me.
