Brady's season of 2010 was the start of Madden 22 coins the Gronk time. The Patriots signed Rob Gronkowski, and Brady would succeed. His slight dip in real-life figures the year before led to a comparable reduction in his Madden overall performance, but the trajectory of his career was to transform forever. The new-look Patriots offense will continue to motivate the league to discover or even create powerful do-it-all tight ends like Gronk but the majority of QB-TE teams today, a decade later remain chasing the same totals Brady and Gronkowski could put together. In Madden, the duo was unstoppable for a period of several years.

Brady got into his third year in the 99 club in Madden NFL 2012--you'll remember it infamously as the one where Browns fans filled the stadium with votes that will decide who would be the cover player and a flash-in-the-pan RB was chosen Peyton Hillis to "grace" the box art. Brady as well as Gronk were both in their second year with a high-performance streak and that led to Brady's first season of 5,000 yards, however an injured Gronkowski fell ill in the playoffs, and the Patriots fell short of their rivals the Giants during the Super Bowl for the second time since 2007.

After three wins in the early games, two recent defeats in the Super Bowl suddenly left Brady his less impressive 3-3 score on the field of the Super Bowl, but that's something he would work to address in the near future.

A sour loss in an ugly loss in Super Bowl prior still couldn't hinder Madden ratings adjustors from predicting any "gradual decrease" for Brady. Brady started the season outside the 99 club but helped the team achieve a 12-4 mark, which felt like a regularity by this point. He also had just eight interceptions, marking the third time the stat was in cheap Mut 22 coins single figures. The Pats finished a game shy of another Super Bowl berth, but his story is still being written even this late towards the end of his football career.
