Madden NFL 25 Announced, Cover Vote Coming

To mark the 25th anniversary of the Madden NFL franchise, EA Sports today announced Madden NFL 25, launching on August 27th.

To celebrate the announcement, EA Sports and ESPN also announced a new Madden NFL Cover Vote starting March 11th on ESPN.com that will pit the old-school legends of the NFL against the new-school’s biggest stars. A bracket of 32 all-time NFL greats will go head-to-head against one another, as will 32 modern NFL superstars, with the winners of each bracket facing off in the final round.

Voting will start on Monday, March 11th on ESPN.com/MaddenVote, and fans can tune into a special edition of SportsNation at 4:00pm EST on ESPN2 for the live unveil of the brackets. Last year, fans cast 20 million votes to name Calvin Johnson, Jr. as the cover athlete of Madden NFL 13.
