Madden 27 Finally Adds The League’s Most Controversial Play (And 52 More Things) https://ift.tt/oVFRuhD The NFL would prefer a calendar that is never truly football-free, and one thing keeping the league in the spotlight during the otherwise quiet month of June is the annual reveal of the next Madden.
