TXsteeler Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 https://www.nfl.com/news/2021-nfl-pro-bowl-fan-voting-opens-today-game-to-go-virtual-in-madden-nfl-21 “EA SPORTS and the NFL will create a week-long series of matchups featuring celebrities, NFL Legends, current players, and streamers playing as the official Pro Bowl rosters in Madden NFL 21. These matchups will culminate in an action-packed virtual Pro Bowl game played with 2021 Pro Bowl players facing off within Madden NFL 21.” The inclusion of streamers and celebs kinda ruins this for me but otherwise I think the could be really fun, at least when they get to the end of the matches. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same. Might have been interested otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENINCH Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 More exciting than watching the actual pro bowl 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ET80 Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 I won't watch this, but I would watch this over the actual game... 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JourneymanQB13 Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 If anything, I think all this will do is showcase to a national audience why Madden was trending on social media this fall 😬 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VigilantZombie Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 I mean i never watched the pro bowl so I'm not gonna watch this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TecmoSuperJoe Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 At least the game isn't being played anymore, which I've advocated for quite some time now. Sad that it took a global pandemic to make it vanish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NudeTayne Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Pretty much anyone could run the NFL cash cow better than it's being run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INbengalfan Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Wait... so the NFL actually thinks people are going to tune in to watch someone play video games? Either I'm old, or that's dumb. Or both. I watched my kids play video games when they were young, and I know there's a segment of kids who watch videos of others playin. But televised?

SteelKing728 Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 This could potentially be the downfall for Madden so I'm all for it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're old unfortunately. People will tune in. This might not have the following the 2K series has, or other video game streams, but there is a Madden following for video game streams. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As of this post, albeit at 7:30 AM central, it has 464 viewers. That's lower than games like EuroTruck Simulator 2, Farming Simulator 19, Cricket 2019, Majora's Mask, and Diablo 2. It's like 50 viewers higher than Call of Duty Mobile. Those numbers, even at it's peak, are not really high enough to justify time on the NFL network. The vast majority of people who will watch even a portion of this are people who have never watched a Madden stream before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve actually been to the pro bowl game before and it was fun. Got to see the players, participate with the festivities, and get autographs. But that was probably the last time I was watch the game in any capacity in about 10 years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
