In the first game, NCAA Football 99 which was released in August 1998, Brady was a bundle of pixels put together as any other player, playing as a quarterback for Michigan in the NCAA, with a clean-shaven face and a fresh-faced look. In contrast, his latest appearance in Madden 21 shows a more mature and experienced quarterback, with a well-groomed and more weathered appearance, with more pixels and clarity in the facial structure.

The comparison is stark and highlights the incredible journey that Brady has been on throughout his career. From a young and inexperienced player to one of the most accomplished and respected players in the league, he has truly come a long way. And while his physical appearance may have changed over the years, his talent and determination have remained constant.
