Many have their sights set on EA Sports College Football 25 releasing in a little over a month, but Madden is still obviously very popular—and 49ers star Christian McCaffrey has been announced as the official cover athlete:
The reveal comes after a few days of heavy speculation about Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow being on the cover, but McCaffrey gets the honor after leading the NFL in rushing last year on his way to being named NFL Offensive Player of the Year.
Of course, fantasy football players know McCaffrey is always almost taken as the No. 1 overall selection in most drafts, so some are already claiming the “Madden Curse” could create from hesitation about drafting him first.
On the virtual gridiron, we still don’t have any details about changes for Madden NFL 25, but it releases on August 16 and is now available for pre-order.
‘Madden NFL 25’ is available worldwide on August 16, and three-day early access is available for those who pre-order the MVP Bundle—which includes an option to purchase along with ‘College Football 25’.
