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, 99. 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 his rating improved over the years in connection with her performance on the field mostly with the New England Patriots and eventually the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Brady also reached a 99 OVR in Madden 09, Madden 12, Madden 18, Madden 19, and Madden 22.

Brady's final season with the Buccaneers was one of his best in terms of passing stats. He led the NFL in touchdown passes (43) and total passing yards (5316).
