Oh dear, rant incoming -- sorry in advance. If Jerry Rice is somehow a "supporting cast" again this year, especially behind Randy Moss, well... i might just have to nerd-rage something fierce. There's simply no universe where Randy had a better career than Jerry, it's not even close. Sure, Randy might have had more impressive physicals and some seriously elite highlight reels, but Jerry's work ethic and consistency over a ridiculously long period of time is why he is and will remain THE original G.O.A.T. -- sure i'm a bit biased, being a lifelong Forty-Niner fanatic, but the premise remains true.

I guess it's EA's way of basically communicating to us that they're either a child, or a casual. Nobody that actually knows football thinks Randy is the superior receiver. Randy gets absolutely Moss'd in any stat comparison, no contest. However, Randy was one of the original primadonna style receivers.

For anyone wondering, i'll try to quickly summarize the comparison for you, to hopefully save from the silly comments:

Seasons: Jerry 21, Randy 14
Receptions: Jerry 1,549, Randy 982
Yards: Jerry 22,895, Randy 15,292
Touchdowns: Jerry 197, Randy 156
Super Bowl wins: Jerry 3, Randy 0
Super Bowl MVPs: Jerry 1, Randy 0

Randy's effort level was always suspect, he was so good he barely had to try, which is obviously what prevented him from becoming the greatest of all time.

Agreed, Rice is the best receiver ever but he has several cards this year as does Moss who is the maybe the most physically talented Fitzgerald would Be the other pick as potentially the guy for WR.

Well they just revealed Deion as one of the ULs this week so likely they won't all be dupes. I could see a whole new group of 99s now

To be honest if I'm starting a team I'm taking Jerry over moss every time. Jerry's leadership, character, work ethic, effort, blocking ability, route tree, physicality, hands, and mental are superior. If I want to sell tickets and throw a deep ball, sure I'll take moss.

1) New players.

2) It’s about madden greats, not a GOAT promo, so yall arguing over Jerry vs moss waaaah just look silly.

3) For the record, Moss was the more physically talented WR and averaged better stats WITHOUT using stickum. Don’t meet your heroes kids.

Really hoping Troy is one of the players this year. True Steelers legends haven’t gotten a lot of upgrades and Troy was a cover athlete and staple of the game for decades. I could see supporting cast be players like ROLB Porter and WR Ward or RB Bettis.

We shall see how they do it this year though since there is no longer a legends TT.
