I'll go a step further and pie-in-the-sky wishlist a bonafide implementation of NFL RedZone in online franchise.

The game already tracks which users in a connected franchise are online, presumably there is some amount of communication with the server during games (even user vs CPU games) for telemetry / play calling data / things of that nature.

There likely exists a technical path where a digital Scott Hanson could break into your online league games and let you know what is going on in the games of other members of your league in real time.

Honestly, even just generic narration over Twitch integration in the Connected Franchise menu UI which would segue into you watch your league members' game broadcasts without having to leave Madden would be a fun thing to have. That feels less likely because of third-party integrations, though.

At the very least, I wouldn't think they'd bring him in for play by play/color duties. Which definitely makes you think about what they WILL use his talent for.

Very interesting to think about.

I'll just assume he's replacing Johnathan Coachman. Then if it ends up being more I can be pleasantly surprised.

I could also see him having a similar role as Kevin Connors in CFB25. Where he'll give in game updates and half-time report. I really didn't care for how it was implemented in CFB25. Connors sounded very robotic. I rather them have it like the NCAA 14 game updates.

He's either replacing Coachman or Tre Mosley, who does the pre-game announcer lines. Or possibly both.

Either way, I doubt this is anything too major.

Re: Scott Hanson of NFL RedZone will be in Madden 26

I doubt the technical aspects work, but a "Red Zone" game mode could be kind of a fun break. Just whipping you from game to game: "Boom, now you're the Rams with their team and playbook and you need a 65 yard TD to win," whips over to "Now you're the Jets and you have to stop a First and Goal" to "Now you're the Eagles and you're receiving first in OT." more or less a supersized version of the Gauntlet.

Hopefully this leads to enhanced presentation throughout the game like an extended halftime presentation, animated gameplay highlights from other games across the NFL in Franchise mode, and enhanced pre-game introduction like exterior stadium pan or tailgate scene or player warmups with stat presentation, ect.

It's been apparent that the Madden franchise has taken a 20-year regression with presentation. The features I mentioned in addition to bringing back a revamped and team-specific "super fans" in the crowd along with bringing back Next Gen Stats will be a much needed boost to presentation in Madden.

Another much-needed add-in, provide each team with multiple endzone art designs to choose from or at least have the endzone art correspond to the home teams selected uniforms. Majority of NFL teams use multiple endzone designs throughout the year, it's beyond appropriate to now address this in the game. It's not the NFL preventing this from happening either.

When was the last year Madden had in-game breaks with highlights from other games? I can't recall this. Maybe 20+ years ago?

In-game - never.

Post-game - Some of the SNES-era Maddens (i want to say '96 and beyond) sometimes gave you an option to watch a game-deciding play from a completely different game.

It's not as good as it sounds - it's from the same top-down camera as gameplay was (that's the only view the game had back then), and it probably only had a limited number of these kind of plays to pull from - more or less like 2k did years later.
