It is one of the greatest video games of all time, an innovative brand that has become a worldwide phenomenon, which has spanned generations, but almost never happened…
It’s in the Game: Madden NFL reveals the untold story of Madden NFL, from its 8-bit origins to its success as an annual must-have, against all odds. For the first time ever, EA SPORTS is opening its archives with rare and previously unseen footage, while also allowing cameras to follow the team as they complete the next version of the game. What began as an unlikely collaboration between a computer genius and an American football legend has sparked a revolution and triggered a seismic collision between the worlds of jocks and nerds. Everything pointed to failure. Instead, their project changed the rules of the game and even our culture.
