With at least four Super Bowl wins and at least one Deflategate controversy under his belt, Tom Brady has been named the cover athlete for Madden NFL 18. This year's game marks a couple of firsts. It's the first time in the franchise's history that teammates graced the cover in back to back years. It's also the first time that the franchise will make use of the Frostbite engine.

You can find a teaser trailer below the press release info.
The Madden NFL cover was one of the few career accolades that had previously eluded Brady, and now he adds the honor alongside his multiple NFL championships, MVP awards, Pro Bowl appearances and more. This also marks the first time in Madden NFL history that teammates have graced the cover in back-to-back years, after last year’s game featured Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski.

“The Madden NFL 18 cover is a great honor for me,” said Brady. “Especially since I have been playing the game since growing up next to EA headquarters in the Bay Area. I'm not one to believe in curses, so I'm ready to take the challenge head on like always! It doesn't stand a chance!!!”

In addition to the cover news, EA also announced pre-order offers for two distinct editions of Madden NFL 18. Fans who pre-order the standard edition will receive numerous benefits*, including the choice of an Elite player from their favorite NFL team for use in Madden NFL 18 Ultimate Team, as well as five Squad Packs, redeemable at launch. In celebration of the Greatest of All-Time, those looking for even more can opt for the G.O.A.T. Edition, which gets them not only what’s in the standard edition, but also one of five G.O.A.T. players of their choice for Madden NFL 18 Ultimate Team, and more.

They're really calling one of the editions the "G.O.A.T." Edition? Sure, okay. Anyway, those looking for more information (and presumably footage) on the game will get that opportunity when EA Play happens on June 10. This includes the first reveal of a new mode coming to the game.

It should also be noted here that the G.O.A.T. Edition will get three-day early access, allowing them to play on August 22. EA Access subscribers will get to play up to 10 hours starting on August 17. The rest of the plebs will get to play the game on August 25.
