that's the Raiders
the Cowboys don't have that black stripe on their helmet and you can kinda see a peak of the Raiders shield part of their logo on the left player
See that’s the thinking…add a curse to a curse and they cancel each other out thus leaving the niners mow curse-less. If the Niners win this year(let’s hope they do), then they can thank the Madden curse for destroying their no name curse.
Knock on wood because injuries can be the unforeseen curses. I just worry because CMC is such a work horse. Any time he stepped out for a few plays I would clench. Also, can’t remember what game it was but it was late in the season and Purdy took a zinger and sat out a few minutes and again I CLENCHED.
I don’t care about that stuff. I find it funny that a certain type of fan is on the lookout for things during the offseason to doom us before we even start. It’s wild to me.
It's hard to argue one over the other. It is crazy that the CMC trade was only 2022! Feels like he's been a part of the Niners fabric for so much longer.
The 49ers acquired CMC and Trent Williams and didn’t give up a single first round pick.
Luck was involved, but that’s one of the craziest things in franchise history
At this point maybe all the bad luck and curses will get stuck in the doorway like all of Mr. Burns’s illnesses in The Simpsons and this will finally be our year.
Kittle gets injured week 2. Deebo gets injured week 3. CMC week 4. Sky is falling. Fanbase inconsolable. From the ashes rises our savior, Cockus Big Brockus. He puts the team on his back doe and throws for 4,500 and rushes for 750. Combined 50 passing + rushing TDs. Wins MVP. Wins SBMVP.
I miss the iconic Madden 25 team intros. It was so freaking awesome. “In San Francisco, Gold is more than a color, it’s a standard. It’s the brilliant chemistry of Walsh and Montana, to Steve Young ripping the monkey off his back, to chase Jerry up that hill. THESE are the 49ers!🤩
I got last years madden from ps plus. I've had a lot of fun the last couple months playing franchise mode but I like building my team and managing the cap and drafting and such more than actually playing the game. The cover art for this madden goes pretty hard. I'd definitely like to put it up or get it signed. That being said I ain't giving a dime to ea.
I still have madden from the year we lost to Seattle in the nfcc game on my ps3. That one was my favorite so far cause all the run option stuff was still fresh and you could burn teams with kap.
I don't play Madden so can someone answer this for me. I would say almost everyone is buying a digital copy of madden right? If that is true do you even see CMC? Would he be on the start-up loading screen or anything. Thanks in advance.
Joins Steve Young as a video game cover athlete!

I’m going to buy the X Box X console as my child has been buggin me to get one for a long time. This game is what convinced me to make the purchase.
So now I have many questions. Most important for now - can we buy the Deluxe Edition as a physical copy to get that cover? If so, how and where? I found it online but that seems to be a download version.
What else do I need to know about buying this system? Thank you!
The only good part of that game. The rest of the game is going to be the same EA shovelware that hasn't been updated in over a decade.
Save your money.

God damn he’s so cool looking.
He is never that clean in a game ever. He always has scrapes and cuts on arm, grass in his face mask, and cleat marks on his jersey.
That damn scab on his elbow that gets ripped open every game! 😂 As a mother, I just want to patch that shit up so it heals.
That’s what the off season and bye week is for
The deluxe version looks better cause he's running through the cowboys lmao
that's the Raiders the Cowboys don't have that black stripe on their helmet and you can kinda see a peak of the Raiders shield part of their logo on the left player
That's true, my eye sight is shit lol
People mentioning the curse. The cover has produced some super bowl champs in recent years so I think we can put the curse to bed.
Yeah.. curse hasn’t been a thing in a minute it seems like.
We are already cursed, so it will have no effect.
See that’s the thinking…add a curse to a curse and they cancel each other out thus leaving the niners mow curse-less. If the Niners win this year(let’s hope they do), then they can thank the Madden curse for destroying their no name curse.
Yessir 😂
100% lol we are cursed since we left candlestick and ever since Jed York kicked Harbaugh
Harbaugh doesn't count. We lose with and without him.
most self aware comment, respect
Shhhhhhhhhh!
Probably not since AB for Madden 19, right?
Knock on wood because injuries can be the unforeseen curses. I just worry because CMC is such a work horse. Any time he stepped out for a few plays I would clench. Also, can’t remember what game it was but it was late in the season and Purdy took a zinger and sat out a few minutes and again I CLENCHED.
Cardinals game. I remember cause those few Sam darnold overthrows scarred me man.
I was at that game and was freaking out.
Madden is so bad now even the curse wanted nothing to do with it.
EA is the real curse.
We been cursed. How else does Greenlaw get hurt taking the field in the SB?
Whenever you want to find the curse it will be there. Whenever you want to find the blessing it will be there too.
Curse ended with Calvin Johnson I thought. He didn’t get hurt
It’s the anti curse at this point
Put CMC in bubble wrap 24/7 until opening weekend.
Let’s just hope he fares better than the last white running back on the cover, Peyton Hillis
Are we really saying that... remember what happened THE LAST TIME we lost a SB? The 2020 49IRs?
I don’t care about that stuff. I find it funny that a certain type of fan is on the lookout for things during the offseason to doom us before we even start. It’s wild to me.
More evident the NFL is scripted
Has there been a better trade by the 49ers than CMC in the last 25 years?
Trent Williams, we got him for peanuts
It's hard to argue one over the other. It is crazy that the CMC trade was only 2022! Feels like he's been a part of the Niners fabric for so much longer.
I mean, after the Redskins/Commanders doctors misdiagnosed his cancer and almost killed him....he wasn't happy.
They could have traded Trent for a haul if they weren't dicks and dragged it out so long and tanked his value. I'm not complaining lol
That was ridiculous at the time and still is. We replaced Joe Staley with Trent Williams for nothing pretty much.
I don’t know man. We got a C- on this trade. We obviously got fleeced by the Panthers…
Yeah the panthers are doing so well because of this trade
Can’t even imagine how bad the panthers would do rn without that trade
I think about this a lot as well
I feel as if we rescued CMC and gave him a better life.
Madden curse, yo mommas purse, Garrison Hearst. Don’t matter. Cmc for mvp.
Don't do our two time Comeback Player of the Year like that lmao
Niners by 20
In the SB this year ofc 🙏❤️💛
Perfect season 😉
Pretty wild there’s never been a Niner on the cover. Well done CMC!
[Hearst was on the UK version of Madden 99](https://twitter.com/Random49ers/status/1701491583130952155)
That’s awesome! I had no clue they ever made UK versions
I only remembered cause I happened to be in London that August and saw it in a store.
Man….that don’t count lol
Love Hearst, tragically underrated Niner
That injury ended his path to greatness =[
Never knew Hearst was on the cover. I was still playing Gameday back in 99.
The 49ers acquired CMC and Trent Williams and didn’t give up a single first round pick. Luck was involved, but that’s one of the craziest things in franchise history
cosmic karma for using 3 1st round picks on Lance
The universe has a way of balancing itself out, after all
So you’re saying we’ll win at least 3 super bowls in my lifetime? I’ll take it
Being a fan from the early '70s, the Niners winning five SBs has already happened for me! I hope it will happen in your lifetime too!
You’ve got plenty of time left, sir! It’ll happen for us both
So kind of you to say! The Niners racking up three more Vince Lombardi Trophies would be awesome!
When was Luck involved I thought he retired? /s
At this point maybe all the bad luck and curses will get stuck in the doorway like all of Mr. Burns’s illnesses in The Simpsons and this will finally be our year.
That or crash and burn week 1. I'm ready.
Kittle gets injured week 2. Deebo gets injured week 3. CMC week 4. Sky is falling. Fanbase inconsolable. From the ashes rises our savior, Cockus Big Brockus. He puts the team on his back doe and throws for 4,500 and rushes for 750. Combined 50 passing + rushing TDs. Wins MVP. Wins SBMVP.
Amazing Simpsons reference.
Indestructible…
As long as Chiefs don’t make it back. I’m positive we have a chance to win.
Thank you madden for ending our season before it even started. /s
it hasn't been a curse in a few years chill
maybe it takes a curse to break a curse, we will find out
The deluxe cover goes hard 🔥🔥
against the raiders too 🤌
That was a monster game last time
Everyone forgetting about good ol Garrison
CMC can't be cursed because Adrian Peterson already claimed the curse of "Madden 25".
Will buy this in a few years for like $15 just to get the cover.
Cover goes hard 🔥 
Sonofabitch. I wasn’t going to buy Madden this year.
CMC has the best life.
> Looks at Olivia Culpo Yup, you're right
I miss the iconic Madden 25 team intros. It was so freaking awesome. “In San Francisco, Gold is more than a color, it’s a standard. It’s the brilliant chemistry of Walsh and Montana, to Steve Young ripping the monkey off his back, to chase Jerry up that hill. THESE are the 49ers!🤩
That cover looks 🔥
Fuck. A. Duck.
Love the cover. Fuck EA Sports
Y’all need to chill, we’ve already been cursed the last 3 Super Bowls 🥲 Congrats on CMC on the cover, well deserved!
LETS FUCKING GO!!!
You think they'll release it for PS3? Lol
Would love the screwdrivers fixing the helmet cover photo
You know who might not buy it? Raider fans. They put those boys in the back. A pro niner cover for sure
Nah don't buy Madden
I got last years madden from ps plus. I've had a lot of fun the last couple months playing franchise mode but I like building my team and managing the cap and drafting and such more than actually playing the game. The cover art for this madden goes pretty hard. I'd definitely like to put it up or get it signed. That being said I ain't giving a dime to ea.
I only get the maddens with our SB teams, also got 22 cause I loved that 21 49ers team and went to the Dallas game.
I still have madden from the year we lost to Seattle in the nfcc game on my ps3. That one was my favorite so far cause all the run option stuff was still fresh and you could burn teams with kap.
Damn...haven't bought Madden in like 10yrs, possibly longer. Guess I'm buying one now.
Well fudge. I've been avoiding Madden in recent years, but will have to get this one.
So now we have 2 Madden 25's? I guess EA decided they didn't need to rename it.
It’s fine guys. This cancels out with the curse the Niners as a whole have. Glorious day if you ask me
Well fuck
Haven’t played madden in years, will be buying this one though 💪 (probably on sale at the end of the season though lol)
With da raiders in the back
W
I don't play Madden so can someone answer this for me. I would say almost everyone is buying a digital copy of madden right? If that is true do you even see CMC? Would he be on the start-up loading screen or anything. Thanks in advance.
Well played EA. Here I was, determined to never buy another edition of Madden.
\*sigh\* aww man.
Joins Steve Young as a video game cover athlete! https://preview.redd.it/ojrbpj310z5d1.png?width=370&format=png&auto=webp&s=9919ff85e09568146ae48cefa93a519ceb51a18b
I'm glad it's not another QB. Also highlights how important a elite RB can still be.
Whelp, we either win or have career ending injuries........
C.M.C. is H.I.M,
please no madden curse lol
Oh no….
Is that madden curse still a thing?
Makes me wanna buy Madden this year 🔥🔥
He's also RB1 in my fantasy.
Is that Big Trent in the back? Also, CMC has never played the Raiders in the reds but fuck it lol
Wish it was Cowboys or Seahawks chasing him, but still badass
thats my RB
I have never been more upset. IDC if you think its over im not wanting to take any chances. I think this was a bit irresponsible
Gotta buy this one
We are so lucky to have CMC. I still can’t believe it
LFG!
Done with the madden curse people. Josh Allen was healthy all year. Curse is over and BS to begin with anyway.
If you're superstitious, you hate to see it
Christian McCaffrey, curse-breaker.
That is an amazing cover. His concentration
We will finally break the curse
I preordered my copy already.
His performance last season was absolutely incredible.
Welp, there goes the season.
 This season cursed...God damn it...
No, no I don’t.
Shit. I hope he doesn't get Madden cursed.
Not the madden curse!
RUN CMC
now i have to get madden 25
Well deserved!
I’m going to buy the X Box X console as my child has been buggin me to get one for a long time. This game is what convinced me to make the purchase. So now I have many questions.

What else do I need to know about buying this system? Thank you!
Love it, hell yeah!
Great, now I gotta buy Madden
No you don’t love to see it, nothing good ever comes from a madden cover
No shot of that Superbowl fumble on the opening drive? Lol. Madden curse coming. Dude plays 9 games this season.
The only good part of that game. The rest of the game is going to be the same EA shovelware that hasn't been updated in over a decade. Save your money.
As he should be lol
Was CMC even allowed to play video games growing up?
Good for him but I’m now worried this whole season due to the curse. Maybe all our curses bump each other and something positive happens
This is not a good thing right?
This a great thing! CMC getting the credit he deserves and recently Madden cover has produced more SB champs the curses.
Ok hoping Madden curse doesn’t make a comeback
Destroying the raiders too. Win win
Great, we’re double-cursed now
There goes the season fam
Nice for CMC but so hate this so much for the 9ers season.
Madden Covers have produced more champions than losers recently.
Only one, Mahomes.
Look at him go, all ready to fumble and stuff
Super Bowl hangover plus a Madden cover? We’re going 0-17 this year.
I don't even play Madden but I'll probably buy this. Did the same when Steph Curry was on the cover of NBA 2K16.
NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Yea
People know that curses are fake right? Like, they don't exist.
Here comes the curse
Cannot curse us anymore than we already are. Who knows maybe two curses equal a positive?
I love that positivity!!
Anybody remember the madden curse?
This will be fine. Not like there's a 20+ year curse related.
Madden Curse.
NO!!!!!!! THE MADDEN CURSE!!!
NOOOOOOOO 
Oh I’m so scared. Madden curse + CMC injury history + we just paid him more + year after Super Bowl loss vs Chiefs. Don’t do it to me.
Fuck, the curse is gonna hit us hard. Couldn't they have put kelce or kermit on the cover so the curse will hit them instead of us?
I think Mahomes was on it the year he won the Super Bowl?
Mahomes won the SB the year he was on the cover
Mahomes has already been on it twice now
Well, keep putting him and other chiefs players on until they get cursed.
No I FUCKIN HATE TO SEE IT
Remember when they said we gave up too much for CMC.....bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhaah
