The cover athlete for Madden 19 is now official, with Steelers superstar wide receiver Antonio Brown gracing the game’s cover.

This is certainly the most colorful Madden cover to date, as the Steelers yellow takes up the entire area behind Brown. This is also the second straight standard edition game cover to have the cover athlete not wearing his helmet, for whatever reason. Unfortunately, the gameplay clip has Brown with an arm sleeve but without his trademark Michael Jordan-like arm band, which has been noticeably missing from recent versions of the game.
Madden 19 is available on August 10, but those that pre-order the “Hall of Fame Edition” of the game get the game on August 7.
