Las Vegas Raiders, Madden 2018?

[redsoxfan31]

Mark Davis has done it, he was able to get the necessary votes for his franchise to move from Oakland to Las Vegas with only Miami voting against the move. My question is will Madden 18 have the ability to move the Raiders to Vegas or will they not include this? I know with teams like Atlanta, Minnesota, and LA Rams the Madden developers have done a good job of getting their stadium in the game in the respective year it was estimated to be finished. Anybody have any idea if the Las Vegas Raiders will be coming to a video game near us anytime soon.

Probably in Madden 20 based on the team not moving for at least two years due to construction of the new stadium.

I knew they weren't moving for a while, but I believe in Madden 17 the LA Rams get their new stadium in season 3 or 4 so I'm curious if they'll at least add the option to move the Raiders to Las Vegas. I can't believe that city still isn't available as a relocation option, they're going to have an NHL franchise in June and an NFL franchise in a couple years.

Rams get the futuristic fake stadium that come with the game not our actual rendered stadium so I doubt Raiders get their stadium

Think it all depends on where they will play. Have a feeling they might play in the UNLV stadium this year. Kinda like how Rams play in USC and Chargers will play at Stubhub. Would figure they would get that in the game.

Speaking of Madden 18, you have to figure we will be hearing something in the next 3-5 weeks.

No, Davis said they aren't moving to Las Vegas until the 2019 season. He said they're going to play in Oakland for the 2017 and 2018 seasons.

At the very least, I'd like to see Las Vegas added to the relocation options.

Also, off-topic, did they ever say if the LA Chargers will be playing in the Gals' stadium?

Personally, I'd expect the Raiders to continue to play in Oakland in Madden 18 and for Las Vegas to be added to the list of relocation options. I'd also expect some banter from Brandon Gaudin and Charles Davis about their pending relocation.

I could see the Raiders being handled in Madden 19 similar to how the Los Angeles Rams were initially handled this year, that being a forced relocation at the end of the first season in franchise. This behavior was patched out for the Rams in M17 because a lot of people prefered the LA Coliseum over the generic futuristic domed stadium the game gave the Rams in year 2, but I don't see people being similarly attached to O.co Coliseum personally.
