If you’ve ever been a fan of the Madden franchise at all, you know one thing is absolutely true — the fans never agree on anything.
Whether it’s something as simple as who the cover star — or stars, in some cases — are, or who the best Madden athlete ever is, or what their favorite player’s rating is. The debates about these things will last forever and ever.
But we’ve finally found one thing everyone actually seems to agree on.
We learned on Wednesday that the late John Madden would be on the cover of Madden 23 for the first time in 22 years.
The Madden 23 cover. As it should be.

The NFL legend died at 85 years old earlier this year. It just feels right for the game to honor him in this way.
Fans of the game everywhere were thrilled EA Sports made the right choice here.
