EA Sports is marking NFL legend Tom Brady’s retirement by boosting the Madden NFL 22 cover star’s rating to the game’s highest possible.
On Thursday, the Twitter account announced that Brady would be a 99 overall in the game. This is the second time this NFL season that Brady will have a 99 OVR, as he was initially boosted to 99 back in October when he set the all-time career passing record.
Brady started in the NFL back in 2001 with a 57 OVR, and now ends it with a 99 OVR. That is incredible.
Brady’s final season with the Buccaneers was one of his best and he led the NFL in touchdown passes (43) and total passing yards (5316). He just might walk away from the game with an MVP, but Aaron Rodgers is right there in the race with him.
Earlier this week, Tom Brady announced his retirement from the league.

And I am so proud of what we have achieved,” Brady said. “My teammates, coaches, fellow competitors, and fans deserve deserve 100% of me, but right now, it’s best I leave the field of play to the next generation of dedicated and committed athletes.”
Brady walks away from the game with seven Super Bowl rings, five Super Bowl MVPs, three regular season MVPs, and 15 Pro Bowl appearances. He’s also the all-time leader in passing yards and passing touchdowns.
