Keep The Fans Happy — Or Break Their Hearts — As An NFL Owner In Madden 25

If they can live with themselves, NFL fans will be able to do some truly sick and depraved things this year with the new Madden video game. Like charge fans $30 for a beer.

Around this time each year, Madden bombards us with the annual list of improvements they say they’ve made to the defence.

All-Time Great Barry Sanders Runs Away With Madden NFL 25′s Cover
