Brady got into The 99 Club for the 3rd time in Madden NFL 2012--you'll remember it infamously as the one where Browns fans filled the stadium with votes that Madden nfl 22 coins would determine the winner of the cover contest and got flash-in-the-pan RB Peyton Hillis to "grace" the box art. Brady also Gronk were in year two in a good mood and this led to Brady's first 5,000-yard season, however, an injured Gronkowski fell ill in the postseason and the Patriots were unable to defeat their rivals the Giants to win the Super Bowl for the second time since 2007.
After three early victories however, two recent losses in the Super Bowl suddenly left Brady a less impressive 3-3 score on the field of his first Super Bowl, but that's something he would work to iron out over time.
Another loss that was ugly from that Super Bowl prior still couldn't deter Madden ratings adjustors from expecting any "gradual decline" from Brady. He started the year just outside the 99 club but was able to lead the team to a 12-4 recordthat felt like an annual tradition at that point. He also managed to throw just 8 interceptions, which was the third time his interceptions were within the single-digits. The Pats were a few games shy of yet another Super Bowl berth, but his story is still being written in his playing career.
The unusually-numbered Madden 25 -- which commemorates the game's 25th anniversary - could cause marketing confusion in a couple of years for EA, but for Brady, it was business as usual. His 2013 campaign was highlighted by a 12-4 record, the winning of another AFC East title, and another tough playoff schedule in which the Pats defeated the Colts and then lost to the Broncos who went on to buy Mut 22 coins lose in spectacular manner at the hands of the Seahawks. That Seattle squad would soon become the second team to be seeking an heirloom status, but was refused by Brady and the Pats.
