When EA Sports announced Wednesday that John Madden would grace the cover of this year's Madden NFL 23, it generated a lot of excitement from NFL fans on social media.
This year's edition of the game will be the first time that Madden has appeared on his namesake cover since 2000. The game has been released annually since 1990's inaugural John Madden Football.
Madden, who passed away in December 2021 at the age of 85, has not been on the cover since Madden 2000, which was released back in 1999. After that, EA began using players for the game’s covers instead.
“Coach Madden has been synonymous with the sport of football for more than 50 years and to honor his legacy for the next generation, Coach Madden returns to the cover of Madden NFL 23 for the first time in more than two decades,” Electronic Art said in a blog post.
Madden coached for 10 seasons in the NFL, recording 103 wins with the Raiders, posting a .759 winning percentage and winning Super Bowl XI with the franchise in 1976. He also won seven division titles and was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2006.
Madden 23 will have three editions: All-Madden, broadcasting and coaching.
The All-Madden cover features a young Madden from his Raiders days holding a football, with white letters reading "Thank you, Coach." On the broadcasting edition, Madden is shown in a suit and tie drawing on a telestrator, which became a signature of his during his announcing tenure. The coaching cover shows Madden being hoisted into the air by his players after winning Super Bowl XI.
"The thing that we wanted everyone to take away," Graddy stated, "is that we're celebrating all three phases of Coach Madden's kind of legacy."
