On Tuesday afternoon, the world learned of the death of legendary NFL football coach & broadcaster John Madden, who passed away unexpectedly at the age of 85 (the cause of death has not yet been disclosed) "On behalf of the entire NFL family, we extend our condolences to Virginia, Mike, Joe, and their families," said [...]

A little late on the news from us, but EA Sports has found their cover athlete for Madden 20 in Patrick Mahomes from the Kansas City Chiefs The company made the announcement with a video last week, along with the news that the game will be released on August 2nd, 2019 for PC, PS4, and[...]

EA has come out and apologised for censoring Colin Kaepernick's name in a song in Madden 19, saying that it was done in error over fears of rights usage. Colin Kaepernick has been a controversial figure in the world of sport and politics for the last few years He started the trend of NFL players kneeling[...]

Madden's creative director Rex Dickson has left EA and developer Tiburon, leaving room for change on the series he said in a parting letter to fans.

So, I don't generally love irreverent adverts that publishers come up with, bringing in celebrities to show off something ludicrous that has nothing to do with the game. This Madden 16 advert is something else though EA have taken this idea to its natural conclusion that, to the point I don't think anyone else can really[...]

Having said that, these Madden 16 are very promising EA say they have implemented a new lighting system that will help emphasize the new graphical upgrades of the game This certainly looks much better than last years entry, and that was a significant jump for the series. Check them[...]

I actually know a lot of geeky people who are really into the NFL and Madden's numbers often reflect that. That's why the game is a yearly purchase in my household. While we don't know much about Madden 16 yet, we do now have a release date Unsurprisingly, it's set for its usual time period The game[...]

Overblown adverts, lots of awesome trailers for upcoming movies, a huge half-time show, the aforementioned big game and of course, lots and lots and lots of predictions.
