Madden NFL is the football series from EA Sports. A series that has run for decades, each entry pushes the sports simulation forward while also updating the graphics to more accurately represent the athletes on the pitch.

The modern entries feature a mode called Ultimate Team, which allows players to collect athletes and build their own teams before competing in online games. Some of the best sports games have been published through the series, and Madden covers are a good indicator of who the biggest athlete of the era is.
