Here's a look at the cover. One fan wrote: "It's year 22. Henry wears 22. Henry just ran for 2K+ yards and had the 5th best season ever for a RB and was named OPOTY. So Patrick Mahomes and Tom Brady are on the cover of madden. Logic-100."

Another fan added: "Using 2 of the last 4 cover athletes for a game that barely changes from year to year is the most Madden s— ever. Can't wait to play NCAA 14 for another year only to be disappointed with the new College Football in 2022."

"That's it. That seals the deal," one Twitter user stated. "In all my years is a fan I can no longer will myself to support this franchise. I'm cancelling my ea play subscription and won't be buying 22. I'm taking my fandom to call of duty where they know how to run a mega gaming company. "

Another fan said: "Historically terrible game & now putting two players on the cover who have both been on in it in the last 3 years. What a sign of an even worse game this year."

Will it be the same game? One fan believes it will be, saying: "Wow the madden 18 and 20 cover athletes so original but fitting considering ITS STILL THE SAME GAME."

And another fan said the cover is "Trash! They are never going to stop drooling over Mahomes and Brady. I rather have a lineman on the cover than these two again. Brady was Madden 18 and Mahomes was 20 like come on. Also there has never been a repeat cover athlete! The anticipation I had for this game just died!"
