Madden 22 Team of the Year aims to celebrate some of the best players the league saw in 2021, and the full TOTY nominees list is finally here.
If you wanna get a look at the field before going to cast your ballot, we've got the full list here including some of the names that were mysteriously absent from Madden 22 TOTY voting.
Madden 22: All Team of the Year nominees revealed
Madden 22 Ultimate Team has done a Team of the Year promo in previous years, but in the past the selections were simply done by EA.
This year, they've taken a cue from the FIFA 22 team and chosen instead to introduce fan voting for the Madden 22 Team of the Year lineup.
Unfortunately, it's already off to a rocky start, as voting went live a full 12 hours earlier than initially advertised and the field itself is certainly going to be controversial.
Many of the league's best players are completely absent, including standouts Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady, Kyler Murray, Cooper Kupp, Davante Adams, George Kittle, Jonathan Taylor, and many others.
It's clear that EA has tailored their Team of the Year nominees according to which cards they want added to Madden 22 Ultimate Team rather than the true best players of the season.
Even with these missteps, voting is now live and you can find more details here on how to cast your vote before time runs out.
Without further ado, let's get into this year's Madden 22 Team of the Year nominees broken down by those on Offense, Defense, and Specialists.
