The NFL has released the new cover of its own video game. Who the new “cover boy” is for Madden NFL 23 was a no-brainer.

Munich – The new cover of the NFL’s official video game has been revealed. And of course it was a “no-brainer”. Because of course the man after whom the game was named graces the cover of the new edition of the game: John Madden, who passed away late last year at the age of 85.

Madden won the Super Bowl as a coach with the Oakland Raiders in 1976, and from 1979 he was a permanent part of the NFL inventory as a TV commentator for 30 years and was the namesake for the game from EA Sports.

Homage to first edition

In addition to the biggest NFL stars, he also greeted many years himself from the cover of the legendary video game series. In total, Madden has three different covers of him for the ’23 edition, one of which is a tribute to the first edition in 1988.

“Nobody loved football more than Coach. He was the football,” NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said, “There will be no other John Madden. We are forever in his debt for what he did for football and the NFL. “
