A lot has changed in the NFL since September 1st, 2006. The day Roger Goodell assumed the role as NFL commissioner. Goodell has definitely had his great moments as well as his negative moments, such as:
-The NFL has seen no expansion
-Los Angeles gained two teams at the expense of San Diego and St. Louis
-Various Discipline Scandals
-A bigger emphasis on revenues
-Push to expand fandom (International Games, harder push in marketing to females, etc.)
With the business minded Goodell leading the charge of the NFL, it is likely that exclusive rights amongst the NFL and companies is here to stay for awhile.
The NFL has put their own restrictions on Madden since Goodell has taken charge. Things such as:

-Infamously the concussion scandal, and the NFL covering the problem had EA eliminate concussions completely from the game
-Dynamic Crowd... If your team sucks, you will still sell out every game
However, if he were to be replaced by Adam Silver (or anyone else for that matter), what could that mean to the NFL, and the future of football games? Does the NFL commissioner even mean anything to the future of Madden?
I'd like to hear the communities thoughts on this

Yes the commissioner and the direction he tells the owners he wants the league to go will have an impact on madden.
I don’t find those moments to be “negative”
-The NFL has seen no expansion -> adding more teams isn’t a good thing if the stadiums are expensive to build and are empty.
-Los Angeles gained two teams at the expense of San Diego and St. Louis -> I’ve been to StL and think anything that can get out should run.
-Various Discipline Scandals -> hasn’t this always happened we just didn’t hear about it as much. News, internet etc didn’t exist when Michael Irvin would have been a TMZ icon
-A bigger emphasis on revenues -> again this is as its always been
-Push to expand fandom (International Games, harder push in marketing to females, etc.) -> NFL Europe was Paul’s plan. There was interest. Not enough to support a team. But enough interest to play a few games there.
Point is that the commissioner has a plan.
https://www.si.com/nfl/2016/08/04/ro...abor-agreementIf the owners buy in, then the plan is executed. Roger’s plan included making personalities of model players, appealing to families (women’s nfl shop), getting more kids into the game (play 60), etc.
As far as madden goes to sell the dream that everyone loves the nfl, we can’t have empty stadiums. Why would they be empty. Fans are die hard and show up no matter what. Lol
Concussion? What concession. The game is safe. Everyone should play.
If the next commissioner has a different plan for increasing revenues. One that relies less on image and perception of safety or encouraging players to be personalities, then we could see some changes in madden in our favor.
