Next years Madden will be titled "Madden 25"

In the spirit of Superbowl Sunday, I figured I would do a football related story.

In next years installment of the popular franchise, EA will not put the calendar year in the title. Instead, they will decide to call it "Madden 25," to draw attention to the 25th anniversary of the series.

The game will launch on August 27, and fans will still be able to vote on the cover athlete, according to a press release from EA. Other than the new title and the information about voting for the cover athlete, nothing else has been released about this game.

I'm hoping that the name change is a sign that EA is going to do something new and exciting with the franchise instead of putting out a more polished version of the same game they released last year. Only time will tell.
