My only question is why?

[Mintsa]

Then Giannis will be the cover athlete of the next NBA Live, EA obviously have brought Giannis on board but just don’t have a basketball game at the moment for him to promote.

Sooooo...... They added Giannis to Madden before we ever even hear if there’s even going to be a next-gen NBA Live entry? Where are your priorities EA??????? Who asked for this, in particular?

I’m surprised no real team in the NFL every went after a player of his size and athletic ability. He would be unstoppable in the red zone and field goals/xtra points. Also I’m short yardage, just throw it up a couple yards and no one could stop him catching it.

I honestly laughed out loud when I read this.

I'm all for leaning into a little bit of silliness as far as The Yard is concerned.

I'm still on Madden 20 but I wouldn't mind something like this IF the rest of the game was in better shape. Want to add Basketball players? No problem, Antonio Gates one of the best Tight Ends in the league history played basketball in college not football. Same thing with Jimmy Graham.

The ability to get DLC of NBA Stars for use in ALL MODES of Madden would be fine. Take Lebron through a Franchise Mode and play an alternative universe where he played football, not basketball. Use him in Face of the Franchise and put him on the Browns to see if he can win a Super Bowl for Cleveland, etc.

I just wish the rest of Madden was fixed BEFORE EA did something like this.

There aren't that many guys of his size and athletic ability, and for those that do, why choose football? He's going to make astronomically more money in the NBA.
