We also have a few other ways to display the fan's and player's appreciation for Tom Brady in Madden 22. However, it'll likely take effect in Madden 23 when it releases in August.
A cover for a Collectors Edition of Madden 23 could be a perfect way to showcase the legendary QB. Perhaps an image of Brady split into three phases, Michigan Wolverines, New England Patriots, and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Another interesting way for Madden 22 to keep Tom Brady relevant in future games is by having him be a permanent member of the 99 Club. Perhaps even having him be an earnable card each year in MUT 22.
However they do it, Madden 22 will need to showcase their appreciation and admiration for Tom Brady in this game and future games.
