Madden NFL 25 officially announced, Releases August 27

"Madden NFL 25! New name, same crap! But with authentic referees! Preorder now, schmucks!"

The name change appears to be more about marketing. To the casual madden gamer, the name change equates to innovation; something fresh and new. Either way, I'm looking forward to the future of the game.

I'm starting the campaign right now: Walter Payton for madden 25 cover!

Tack on another 10 bucks to the price for the name alone...

I wonder if John Madden will be one the legends for the cover voting? He'd get my vote!

Anyway they say the same thing every year. Most innovative, most advanced gameplay, blah blah friggin' blah. I'll wait to see what Madden 16 has to offer or whatever it's going to be called once they get a little bit of a grip on the new consoles. I like the name change, but at the same time it's kinda dumb. I do think they should do it like the superbowl though with the roman numerals.

Also I agree they need to kill all the over the top marketing they do for this game. The game damn near sells itself! There's no comp! All you honestly have to do is tell people the release date, lol. That's all alot of people, especially casuals, care about anyway. I don't know how many times I've been in a game store or talking with people and all they ask is when is the new madden coming out? That's all they care about. They get the release date and go buy it. IMO it's just wasted time with all this cover vote and cover athlete stuff.

I understand promoting your product and putting it out there, but they really go all out for such a sub-par product. I guess they have to since they don't have a great product to begin with. They have to live off the license and the legacy, not the quality.
