Brady's season of 2010 was the start of the Gronk Era. The Patriots signed Rob Gronkowski Madden 22 coins, and Brady could be successful. His slight dip in real-life figures the year before led into a similar reduction of his Madden overall score, however, the trajectory of his career was to be forever changed.

The new-look Patriots offense will continue to motivate the league to locate or build dominant do-it all tight ends like Gronk but the majority of QB-TE combos today, more than decades later are still striving to beat the numbers that Brady and Gronkowski would put up together. In Madden the duo could not be stopped for a stretch of several years.

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 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 buy madden coins, but that's something he would work to iron out over time.
