- EA Sports is set to unveil Madden 27 and the latest college football game on Thursday night, showcasing new player visuals including Fernando Mendoza in Raiders gear and Myles Garrett with the Rams.
- Madden 27 will include the first in-game appearance of the "tush push" play, famously used by the Philadelphia Eagles, with quarterback Jalen Hurts depicted executing the play.
