John Madden is one of the most famous people associated with the NFL. He is one of the greatest broadcasters ever, and his legacy continues to live on through the creation, year after year, of EA Sports’ Madden NFL series.
The first Madden game came out back in 1988. The game was then aptly named John Madden Football, and over the years, the name has been shortened, with its latest release being Madden 25, which has received mixed reviews from fans.
Fans of the Madden games have not been happy with EA for years because the game barely changes each year. The most significant change came with the Madden 24 edition, which only included the ‘next-gen’ systems.
According to some sources, we may be getting an insight as to why the game has fallen off over the years. Prime Video recently released a trailer for the series named “It’s In The Game,” after the franchise’s famous tagline.

Another even touched on the real issue that many fans believe the Madden franchise has. “If this doesn’t cover EA’s decision to resell essentially the same game over and over again at full price versus simply offering updates via DLC, it’s not a real doc,” they commented.
While it’s clear that the series will discuss the game in general, it’s unclear which specific parts of the franchise they will mention. Odds are they won’t talk about how EA is “ripping off its fans,” but we’ll see.
